What customers say
This cast iron griddle offers excellent value, praised primarily for its robust construction and superior heat performance. Users consistently report even heat distribution, perfect for searing and cooking items like pancakes and tortillas. The factory pre-seasoning allows for immediate use, though many enthusiasts suggest adding more seasoning layers for optimal nonstick results. While the size is versatile, the inherent weight of cast iron is noted, with some wishing for a more ergonomic handle for easier lifting. Overall, satisfaction is high; this is viewed as a durable, high-performing kitchen staple that exceeds expectations for its price, assuming standard cast iron care is applied.
Know before you buy
Yes, the Cuisinel griddle arrives pre-seasoned. While you can start cooking immediately, many home cooks prefer to add an extra layer of seasoning before the first use to further enhance the non-stick surface.
Absolutely. The cast iron construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and glass stovetops.
The silicone handle grip is designed for stovetop safety and should be removed before placing the pan in the oven. The cast iron itself is oven-safe, but the silicone accessory is not intended to withstand high oven temperatures.
To maintain the seasoning, hand wash the griddle with warm water and a mild brush or sponge. Avoid soaking it or using a dishwasher, and always dry it thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil before storing to prevent rust.
Yes, the durable cast iron construction makes it an excellent choice for outdoor use, including campfires or charcoal grills. Its compact size is particularly convenient for portable cooking setups.
