What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Lodge 11 inch Cast Iron Square Grill Topper for its exceptional quality and durability. The robust cast iron ensures superior heat retention and even distribution, perfect for achieving excellent sear marks without losing smaller foods through the grates. Its versatility shines, working equally well on indoor ovens and outdoor grills.

Know before you buy
Yes, the Lodge grill topper is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. It works well on gas, electric, and induction stovetops, as well as directly on your outdoor grill grates.
It comes pre-seasoned with natural vegetable oil, which creates a natural, easy-release surface. While it is not coated with synthetic chemicals, proper maintenance and heating will provide excellent non-stick performance.
Hand wash the topper with warm water and a stiff brush. Avoid using the dishwasher, as it can strip the seasoning and cause rust; dry thoroughly immediately after washing and apply a light coat of oil.
The perforations are designed to allow smoke and heat to circulate while keeping most vegetables and meats contained. However, very small items may slip through, so it is best suited for chopped vegetables, shrimp, or larger cuts of meat.
No, the integrated cast iron handles will become very hot during use. Always use heat-resistant gloves or mitts when moving the topper on or off the grill.
