    I’m a lousy cook and I love pancakes. I’ve always had to go to a restaurant to get a decent pankcake because I never figured out how to make them right.

    But when I got this Griddle I started turning out perfect pancakes every time! There must be something about iron. I’ve never had any iron cookware before. And the size is just small enough so it’s not too heavy, but the flatness allows me to make a “short stack” of pancakes all at once.

    This is the most joy that $12.00 has brough into my life in a long time. And, I’ll save a ton of money over the rest of my life not going to restaurants to get pancakes!!

    Perfect griddle for up to two people, September 11, 2006

    I’m a huge fan of cast-iron, so when I was in the market for a griddle I turned to Lodge. This is actually the first new cast-iron pan I’ve owned (the others I was lucky enough to inherit from my Grandmother), and while I know how to season one properly, it was worth the convenience to buy one preseasoned.

    I broke-in the griddle with some pancakes (an Alton Brown recipe) and they turned out amazing, better than any others I’ve ever had or made. The heat retention of cast-iron really makes a difference, and the low sides of the griddle made flipping the pancakes simple. The size of the griddle was perfect for my range and allowed me to make either 4 small pancakes or 3 medium sized ones at the same time. They browned perfectly and didn’t stick at all (per the recipe I buttered the pan and then wiped the excess off between pancakes).

    I know cleaning might intimidate those unfamiliar with cast-iron but it couldn’t be simpler. If there is no burned food on it, just wipe it down with a cloth (I actually use a wad of paper towels) dampened with warm water right after you’re done cooking. While the griddle still is still warm (which will be for quite a while), put a light layer of vegetable oil on the cooking surface and you’re done. If there was some burned food on it, just start by scrubing it lightly with a stiff bristle brush and warm water (once again, easier if the griddle is still warm) and then dry off and oil.

    Once again, this is a great griddle that makes great food and is simple to take care of. If you’ve never tried cast-iron before, you’ll be amazed how much easier it is to cook on since it has no hot spots (once it’s warmed up) and retains heat for a long time. Just be sure to get a good mitt or cover for the handle. Also, if you have a lot of people to cook for, I might suggest getting two of these griddles instead of a large one that spans multiple burners (unless your burners are close together or gas).

    Great for making 3 egg omlets, August 26, 2003

    I love cooking with cast iron. This pan is great for making those 3 egg omlets, pancakes, fried eggs, etc. The low lip makes it easy to get the spatula under the eggs and flip them. On the down side if you fry bacon or sausages in it, the grease will spatter the stove. On a campfire that of course won’t be a problem.

    However if you have limited space in your kitchen cabinet get the combo cooker. The lid is nearly as large as this one and you get the fry pan as well.

    On the plus side, this pan being thin fits right under the stack of cast iron pans I already own. So if you cook for a large family and want to serve everyone faster, this is a good way to go as an additional pan.
