What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Lodge Cast Iron Griddle for its robust construction and exceptional performance. A key highlight is the even heat distribution, perfect for achieving consistently cooked pancakes, crepes, and grilled items. While the pre-seasoned surface is appreciated, users often recommend additional seasoning to build superior nonstick capability over time. This pan’s versatility as both a griddle and a crepe pan is a significant advantage. Reviewers trust Lodge’s reputation for durable, long-lasting cast iron, viewing it as a lifetime kitchen staple. Despite the expected weight and the need for proper seasoning care, the consensus confirms this product offers excellent results and strong value.
Know before you buy
It arrives pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, so it is ready for immediate use right out of the box. However, continuing to season the pan over time will only improve its non-stick properties.
Yes, this cast iron griddle is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and halogen heat sources.
No, this griddle is not dishwasher safe. You should wash it by hand with warm water and a stiff brush, then dry it thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust.
For stubborn, stuck-on food, you can scrub the pan with a paste of coarse salt and water. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking the pan, as these can strip the seasoning you have worked to build.
While the low profile is perfect for pancakes and crepes, it is also excellent for searing steaks, roasting vegetables, or baking flatbreads like pizza. The shallow rim makes it easy to slide a spatula underneath delicate foods.
