Pre-seasoned and ready to use, this grid iron griddle covers two burners. Flat on one side and ribbed on the other, it's reversible. Cooking surface is 16-3/4" x 7-3/4"

Amazon.com Review

There are lots of fancy cookware materials out there but cast iron still trumps them all with its even heating, heat retention, price, and duration. It's these traits that make Lodge cookware favored by both indoor chefs and campfire cooks alike. The caveat is cast-iron cookware's weight and, at 10 pounds, this griddle will give most chefs a workout. At 9-1/2 by 17-1/2 inches, this griddle is long enough to cover two burners of a stove. The flat side of this reversible griddle is ideal for pancakes, eggs, or grilled sandwiches while the opposite ribbed side works for bacon, chicken, a whole fish, or any foods with fatty drippings. While it usually takes years of cooking to burn on the prized finish that makes cast-iron cookware smooth and stick-free, the Logic line of cookware comes preseasoned to save you some work. Cast-iron pans in this line are coated in a vegetable oil, which is then baked on in an hot industrial oven to obtain that blackened patina and silky surface. --Cristina Vaamonde

I really wanted a pre-seasoned cast iron skillet to replace the series of 'disposable' teflon coated ones that I've been using, but when I recieved this one, I was a bit disappointed for 2 reasons. As someone else already stated, make sure you coat it well with oil on the first use. Even though I did, the eggs still stuck. Which leads to my second problem. The picture does not show the large gutter on the flat side. That makes it rather unusable for eggs, pancakes, etc. I tried it anyway, trying to keep the eggs away from the gutter, but they dripped in, and my fried eggs turned into a stuck-on long drippy mess in the gutter. I wouldn't even try pancakes on it. :-( It would cost more in shipping to return it than it costs (almost!) since it's so heavy, so I'll keep it and use it in the oven and on the grill, but I'm unhappy that that picture does not show that gutter. I'm going to order the larger griddle, but that one is going back if it has the same gutter!

This is an awesome grill. If you're carnivores, you will not believe how delicious it grills steaks. You just have to follow their directions to take care of the iron which is no big deal. My first piece, the 12" skillet, I bought unseasoned. It was a bit of a mess (though still worth it), but I decided to buy the rest with Lodge's preseasoning. Every time you use it it gets better.I now own the 8" skillet, the 12" skillet, the 5 qt. dutch oven, and the grill/griddle. Amazon's prices are insanely cheap, especially with the free shipping. I got all of these pieces for about [$$]. Almost half the price of other cooking web sites!

Lodge is the leader in cast-iron cookware. Made in USA for more than 100 years, it's heavy, reliable, great stuff. Cast iron takes a little effort. You have a relationship with it, unlike teflon type pans. You learn to work with it and it will reward you with incredible performance.

I've had the non-preseasoned version of this griddle for about ten years. At first I was disappointed in the performance but over time it got better and better. Nothing sticks to it now. Cleanup is easy with just a quick wipe needed. The cast iron is so good at spreading the heat out that it has very even temperature.

Pre-seasoned is a bit of a misnomer. The "seasoning" process is never complete- Lodge Logic has simply jump started the process. It does get better and better. At first maybe only use it with an oil or with fatty foods. As time goes by the need for added oil goes down. I can make pancakes or french toast with no oil or butter. I generally give it a light...Read more
