Lodge Round Seasoned Cast Iron Griddle 10.5 Inches - Round-Shaped, Pre-Seasoned Iron Griddle Pan - Non-Toxic, PFAS-Free Cookware - Compatible with Stovetop, Oven, Grill, or Campfire

UPDATE: I have many cast iron pans and griddles, most of them vintage, and I have stripped and re-seasoned virtually all of them, as I did with this one. But this is the cast iron piece that I use most, especially for cooking a couple of steaks or hamburgers. It is an amazing bargain. To clean it (them, actually, since I have more than one of these), I fill it with hot tap water for 10-20 minutes after it has cooled, anytime in the next few days, actually. Then I scrape the surface with a plastic food scraper, with the water in it, repeated that with more hot water. Then I pour the water out, give it a good squirt of dish soap, and scrub it with a a blue plastic mesh dish scrubber. the kind the grocery store sells for a dollar. With the well seasoned pan, this always works, is easy, and takes less than five minutes except for the soaking. Don't believe the people who say to never use soap on cast iron -- it should not soak in soapy water, but there's no problem with using soap during the cleaning process. Finally I wipe the pan with a towel, let it stand to completely dry, and coat at least the cooking surface with a thin coat of olive oil. This is a wonderful little pan, which I use most often to cook bacon and pancakes for two. For bacon, I preheat to 350 degrees in the oven, then use a 10" pizza screen over a folded paper towel. Once the bacon is crisp, move to stove top, transfer bacon to a fresh paper towel, discard used paper towel, and place screen in water in the sink. After a few minutes on medium heat, pan is ready for four small pancakes. You will get FAR superior results, though, if you strip and reseason this pan before using. It's easily stripped on the light cycle or for 1-2 hours in your self cleaning oven. Allow to cool, wash off the powdery residue with a plastic scrubber and water, warm briefly in the oven to thoroughly dry and open the pores, and then strictly follow the instructions at Sheryl's blog Chemistry of Cast Iron Seasoning (google it). Be sure to use flax oil and to thoroughly wipe "dry" each newly applied layer. There's no harm in adding a layer or two more than Sheryl recommends. Lodge's 15" pizza pan, same treatment, is a good alternative if you want to cook more volume. But this smaller pan is so good and such a bargain that you'll want them both. If you haven't used cast iron seriously in the past, be sure to do some research on cleaning and maintaining it. These pans also work very well for pizzas and for searing steaks, etc. In the oven or on the grill.

I purchased the Lodge Cast Iron Round Griddle, and it's been a fantastic addition to my kitchen. I use it almost every day for eggs and other flat-cooking needs, and it performs flawlessly. The pre-seasoned surface is excellent—eggs never stick, which is a huge plus for everyday cooking. The griddle heats evenly and handles everything from eggs to tortillas and pancakes with ease. The low sides make flipping effortless, and the classic Lodge quality is evident in how well it's held up with daily use. At $19.90, this is an incredible value for a piece of cookware that's genuinely heirloom-quality and built to last generations with proper care. It's become one of my most-used kitchen tools, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for reliable, affordable cast iron.

This is a heavy, versatile griddle. Cooks eggs, pizza, anything you put on it. And if you are camping and a stranger with less-than-pure intent happens to come along, it has, um, "other" handy uses as well. Get well soon, Carl.

This cast iron griddle is truly the MVP! From pancakes and eggs in the morning to searing steaks and warming tortillas in the evening, this griddle does it ALL — evenly, efficiently, and with that unbeatable cast iron heat retention. What I love the most is the versatility — it works beautifully on the stovetop, in the oven, over a campfire, and even on my grill. Once it’s properly seasoned, it becomes virtually non-stick, and cleanup is a breeze with just hot water and a brush. You can feel the quality in the weight and craftsmanship. It’s the kind of cookware you pass down to your kids. I also appreciate that it’s made in the USA and comes pre-seasoned — so it was ready to use right out of the box. So, if you’re serious about good cooking or just want to elevate your daily meals, this is the griddle to grasp because Lodge NEVER disappoints! PRO TIP:: Give it a little extra oiling and bake it a few times when you first get tit though Iif interested, I’ll tell you how below) — you’ll fall in love with the results. Use an oil with a high smoke point and that forms a good layer of seasoning, like canola oil, Crisco (vegetable shortening), or grapeseed oil. I’ve used vegetable oil too. Avocado oil, I think can be used too, but don’t quote me on that particular one as I’ve never used it. But if I take a guess, I THINK it can be. But the FIRST thing you do even before oiling it and baking it is wash it thoroughly as soon as you get it with a teeny-tiny bit of soap and hot water, EVEN IF IT SAYS IT IS PRESEASONED! But ONLY DO THIS ONCE! After this first wash, you won’t have to use soap ever again! This is to remove any of the factory residue. But you are then to dry the pan completely. Then with a think layer of oil (I pour a bit on the pan and then take a paper towel and wipe it completely with oil in all of the nooks and crannies inside and out and the handle with an even coat of whatever oil you choose to use. Place it upside down on your top oven rack and put a baking sheet (or if you want to line the bottom rack with foil you can do that instead of the baking sheet) on the bottom rack to catch the excess oil that drips off the pan. Bake this @ 450 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour. Then turn the oven off and let it cool completely inside the oven to allow the oil to set. Now, for a smoother, non-stick finish, it’s BEST to repeat this process 2 or 3 times, BUT you don’t have to. I like to though, but who knows,…maybe it’s because I’m extra. Then, BOOM! Your brand new cast iron is ready to make some magic happen!! Enjoy!!

great pan!! just what I expected, a rough sandpapery finish like most cast iron. but the price was right and even as rough as it is, with a light coat of oil, my blueberry buckwheat pancakes were coming off no trouble. eggs too. you don't need to float everything in tablespoons of oil... just make sure you put a light coat of butter or oil, just don't let it get too hot or it will smoke up the oil on you, just like any pan would. quality of the pan is excellent. no rough edges. great job, Lodge. not sure what they mean by 'seasoned' in the description. I think that means it was heated up and got a coat of oil before it left the factory. one star off for the misleading description. many customers would understand this term to mean it will be non-stick or at least indicate a smooth cooking surface. it does not have a smooth surface but I'll keep using it and the carbon layers will build up, smoothing it out. it will get better and better. just don't cook with acidic foods like tomato sauces, it can strip off the smooth surface. I just use a plastic scraper and warm water to clean up....just don't forget to dry it to avoid rust spots. after my pancakes I just wipe out the inside and put a light coat of oil on before I put it away. please don't burn your hand on the handle. the longer you cook and the higher your heat, the more likely that handle will be 'too hot to handle'. generally you won't be moving the pan during cooking so for me it's not a problem. this is a heavy pan and unless you work out every day, you won't be able to flip a pancake by tossing the pan. so just leave it where it is and don't touch the handle. leave the flipping to the professional TV people. Lodge makes a kit for seasoning and cleaning the cast iron and it comes with a silicone handle sleeve. I might get the kit. handle sleeves of all types are offered for sale at stores and online, too. Wikipedia says most cast iron sold by Lodge is produced in its foundry in South Pittsburg, which has been in operation since the company was founded. GOD BLESS AMERICA and God Bless the people at Lodge.

This is a great pan it just need some adjustment of learning. But once you understand that it's one of the best tool in my kitchen. I have used it to toast breads, its just tastes so much better. I have used it for crepes or dosas. roti. It works good. Only downside is the handle gets very hot so it would have been nice if it came with some handle cover, but I just use my kitchen napkin to hold it, and it works just fine.

It seems to be good quality and perfect for those camping trips.

Makes perfect tortillas! Heavy duty. Perfect size. My new go to for tortillas and grilled cheese! Seasoned great and cleaned up very easily.

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.
