Know before you buy
Yes, the Lodge 10.5-inch griddle comes pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, so it is ready for cooking as soon as you wash off any packaging dust.
Absolutely. The flat-bottom design is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric coils, and ovens.
No, this griddle is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning and prevent rust, you should hand wash it with mild soap or just hot water, dry it immediately, and lightly oil it after each use.
After cooking, scrub the pan with a stiff brush and hot water. If food is stuck, you can use a small amount of mild soap or a paste of coarse salt and water, then dry it thoroughly on the stove over low heat to ensure all moisture evaporates.
The griddle weighs 4.5 pounds. While it has a sturdy, integrated cast iron handle, it will get very hot during use, so always use a heat-resistant mitt or handle cover.
Yes, this griddle is oven-safe. It is an excellent choice for baking biscuits, cornbread, or finishing off dishes that require high-heat searing followed by a slow roast.
