Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Pancake Pan Crepe Pan for Indoor and Outdoor Use. Induction Frying Pan. Oven, Grill and Metal Utensil Safe Flat Skillet and Round Griddle. Made in the USA. 26 cm/10.5 inch

Most of my comments about this Lodge Logic Round Griddle are contained in the accompanying video review, however I have briefly summarised them below. THINGS THAT I LIKED ABOUT THIS CAST IRON GRIDDLE: * No non stick Teflon coating which can get damaged over time and get into your food * It really does seem to make a difference to the taste of things like Welsh cakes - they don't seem to taste the same made in a Teflon coated frying pan * It heats up really quickly * It comes pre-seasoned to start you off with the seasoning process * The build quality is superb. It is solid, well made and should last me a lifetime * I don't have to worry about using metal implements in it - they won't damage the surface as they would with a non stick Teflon pan THINGS THAT I WASN'T SO KEEN ON: * It is extremely heavy! I have fairly weak wrists and I often have to use two hands to pick it up from the stove * It gets unbelievably hot and stays hot for ages. You need to leave it on the cooker to cool down before you can wash it up. Then handle also gets incredibly hot, you MUST use oven gloves to pick it up or you will really burn your hands. * You can't use soap of any form on it to clean it. It gets hot really quickly and I have burned things on it. The temptation is very great to get a bowl of hot soapy water to scrub it - but I have to stop myself * It does need to be seasoned every time I use it - but that is not a fault with this particular item, it would be the same for all cast iron pans MY OVERALL CONCLUSION: This is a really sturdy, good quality piece of cooking equipment. I wouldn't use it for every day cooking but for certain things such as pancakes, Welsh cakes, omelettes etc. it does a great job. It does take a bit more looking after than your standard frying pan but it is worth the effort as it will last a lifetime and not need to be replaced every couple of years.

I already have a good 3-piece cast iron skillet set (Von Shef brand) which has served me well for several years, but this flat skillet/griddle looked appealing for cooking pancakes, owing to its relatively large surface area. It arrived pre-seasoned but I did some additional seasoning on the stove as a precaution. Unlike another brand I tried, but subsequently returned, this utensil was pleasantly smooth to the touch. Over the past few months, I've used the this griddle more than I expected and found it to be amazingly versatile, suitable for grilling burgers, making grilled cheese sandwiches, omelets as well as pancakes. Compared to conventional steep-sided cast iron skillet, it is relatively light weight. Lodge is a quality brand and at a little over £20, this piece of cookware is excellent value and I would highly recommend it. NOTE: As with all cast-iron (and carbon steel) cookware, this pan must be properly maintained. I clean mine with chain mail and a nylon scrubber or coarse steel wool after each use, generally using coarse salt and water instead of detergent, dry the washed pan on the hob, and then do a quick (5 min) re-seasoning or alternatively simple re-oiling for the next use. Ignore all the reviews uploaded by people who don’t know how to take care of cast iron and carbon steel pans and then complain about food sticking. For more information on the care of such cookware, see YouTube.

Lovely weight, really solid and sturdy. Handle as cast iron better with silicone cover. Good price. Heat distribution not 100%, but good enough to make perfect galettes, crepes & pancakes. Therefore Fantastic for Staffordshire OakCakes too Yum Yum

Perfect for making home-made corn flour tortillas and pancakes. I haven't tried anything else on it. It is solid, flat and does not wobble which is important if you have a glass topped stove. I am very pleased with the quality. As with all cast iron cookware you need to look after it: don't let it soak in water. After you wash it dry it straight away and put it back over the flame/ring to cook out all the excess moisture from the griddle. Let it cool before you store it. Over time -as is the case for all cast iron pans- it may develop a rusty spot on it. In that case you will need to scrape off the rust (I use a dry stainless steel scouring pad) then 'season' your pan. This means that you should warm up your pan and saturate it with oil, melted bacon fat or lard in order to prevent the pan from corroding (google 'season cast iron pans' for more info). From experience I learned that first you must pre-heat the griddle on high. When you are ready to cook your tortillas/pancakes you must first lower temperature to medium or else they burn. Griddle must have a thin layer of butter or oil before batter is poured to ensure no sticking. That is all you need to know!

I treated myself to this to replace my cheap crêpe pan. It is not my first Lodge Cast Iron purchase, but I have found their quality to be consistent and love the properties of cast iron cooking surfaces. I have used if for a few months and while you cannot flip crêpes on it (due to the weight and heat), I am extremely happy with my purchase and my family love the results. I did purchase the rubber handle as well but foolishly left it on the pan while cooking so the edge melted slightly. It is worth noting that it only really provides a slight insulating layer that I assume is meant for transporting the pan (I do not remember reading this anywhere?). If you have no plan to do that, save yourself the money and use your oven gloves instead. It is worth following the cleaning regime (scrub with hot water, dry immediately and reapplying oil before storing) to minimise the maintenance required due to the nature of the material but I have not had any quality issues so far, nor with the skillets I have been using for a few years. Overall, I highly recommend this pan and look forward to adding more Lodge products to my collection in the future. Just make sure you that cast iron suits your desired cooking needs first.

One of my best purchases ever. Have been using this for years and it hasn't failed me. Make sure to not use soap to wash it. Only scrub and plain water.

Pues no hay mucho que decir, todos los productos Lodge me han resultado muy buenos, ésta plancha me ha funcionado muy bien para hacer huevos estrellados y carnes a la plancha. El secreto de estos productos es lavarlos antes de que se enfríen por completo con agua caliente y un cepillito para eliminar cualquier residuo (yo no uso jabón). Muy importante secarlo y volver a ponerlo en la flama para eliminar cualquier resto de humedad y todavía caliente, aceitar otra vez con una capa muy fina, esto para preservar la cubierta natural antiadherente que se les va formando. Estos sártenes son fabulosos porque entre más los uses, mejor funcionan. No es muy recomendable usarlos al principio con alimentos muy ácidos como tomate verde ó rojo ó algunos chiles porque te quedarías sin cubierta antiadherente al primer uso (aunque hay muchos tutoriales para arreglar esto). En general muy buenos todos estos sártenes y es fantástico que funcionan en flama directa, carbón, leña, inducción, eléctrica, etc. Son todo-terreno.

Product: The product (CI griddle) quality is amazing and robust. It is made of cast iron and very heavy in material. No joints make it much stronger. It was easy to use on electric stove and most ideal for Dosa preparation. the griddle gets no time to get hot and prepares dosa instantly. It is made in USA and the quality is great. Must buy for indoor and outdoor cooking purpose. Delivery and Packaging: The product was shipped by Amazon.ae. I purchased the product yesterday (4 PM) evening and I received it today morning (9 AM). Super fast prime service. The product did not have any brand packaging though, it came in a very protective bubble wrap and carton box. Thank you Amazon.ae

I love it! :) It works perfectly, but please read the cleaning instructions.
