Know before you buy
Yes, the Cuisinart 10-inch Cast Iron Griddle arrives pre-seasoned, meaning it has a base layer of oil baked on to provide immediate non-stick performance.
This model is specifically designed for gas and electric coil stovetops. It is not recommended for glass or ceramic cooktops, as the heavy cast iron can scratch or crack the surface.
No, this griddle is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning and prevent rust, you should hand wash it with warm water and dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning.
The griddle weighs 6 pounds. While the integrated handles provide a secure grip, they will get hot during use, so you must use oven mitts or a towel when moving it from the stove or oven.
Absolutely. Because it is crafted from durable cast iron, it is perfectly suited for high-heat environments like grills and campfires, in addition to standard oven and stovetop use.
