Know before you buy
The Blacklock line is engineered to be significantly thinner and lighter than standard cast iron, making it much easier to maneuver on and off the stove. Despite the reduced weight, it maintains the same heat retention and durability you expect from traditional cast iron.
Yes, this griddle is fully compatible with induction stovetops. Because it covers two burners, ensure your induction range has a bridge function or two compatible zones to achieve even heat distribution across the entire surface.
The triple-seasoned surface provides a naturally nonstick finish that improves with every use. While it is not a synthetic chemical nonstick coating, it is highly effective for eggs, pancakes, and searing when properly preheated and oiled.
No, this griddle is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the seasoning and prevent rust, you should hand wash it with warm water and a mild soap, then dry it thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil after each use.
Yes, the durable cast iron construction is designed to withstand high heat, making it an excellent choice for campfire cooking. Just be mindful that the surface will get very hot, so always use heat-resistant gloves when handling.
Because the griddle has a flat, continuous surface without a grease channel, it is best suited for foods that don't produce excessive amounts of liquid fat, such as pancakes, eggs, or grilled sandwiches. If you are cooking fattier meats, you may need to carefully wipe away excess grease with a paper towel during the cooking process.
