Know before you buy
Yes, the Lodge L9SGR is compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric coils, and oven use.
It arrives pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, so it is ready to use right out of the box. However, you will need to continue seasoning it periodically after washing to maintain its non-stick properties and prevent rust.
No, this griddle is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the seasoning and prevent rust, you should always hand wash it, dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning, and apply a light coat of oil.
Because the surface is flat with no drainage, grease will pool on the cooking surface. It is best suited for items like pancakes, eggs, or vegetables, but if you do cook fatty meats, you will need to wipe the surface clean with a paper towel while the pan is still warm.
Absolutely. This griddle is oven-safe and works well for roasting vegetables or even baking cookies, thanks to the excellent heat retention of the cast iron.
