What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise this Lodge Chef Collection piece for its heirloom quality and versatile performance. The dual surface excels at high-heat searing, delivering professional grill marks, and cooking delicate items like pancakes evenly on the griddle. Reviewers highlight the superior, more ergonomic handle design, which improves usability despite the inherent weight of cast iron. While the initial seasoning is good, ongoing maintenance is standard for cast iron care. This durable tool is viewed as a high-performing, long-term investment that significantly enhances cooking quality, justifying its value through anticipated decades of reliable use.
Know before you buy
Yes, the cast iron construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, glass-top stoves, and even open campfires.
This specific model is a single-sided design, meaning it features a dedicated grill and griddle surface side-by-side rather than being reversible.
No, it comes pre-seasoned from the factory and is ready to use right out of the box. The seasoning will continue to improve and develop a more nonstick finish the more you cook with it.
This pan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning, hand wash it with warm water and a stiff brush, dry it thoroughly, and apply a light coat of oil before storing.
The integrated, lifted handles are designed for better leverage and easier lifting compared to traditional flush handles. However, because they are cast iron, they will get hot, so you must use oven mitts or a handle cover while cooking.
No, this cookware is completely PFAS-free and nontoxic. It relies on a natural seasoning process using vegetable oil rather than synthetic chemical coatings.
