Lodge Logic Single Burner Reversible Grill / Griddle - 10-1/2-by-10-1/2

I received this item with a stain of rust and glue from the label. I tried to scrub it, and it became even more rusty. I was used to a Weber griddle, and it was wonderful, it lasted for years, in great condition. I bought this one under review for its size, obviously a mistake, and a waste of money. Will go for a Weber griddle again.

Over the years, I have bought several "non-stick" griddles, but those coatings always turn gummy, flake off, and don't clean well. Finally, I came to my senses and realized cast iron doesn't flake, is truly non-stick, cleans with hot water, and if it turns gummy, a little re-seasoning always fixes the problem. I love cast iron; love the shiny black non-stick surface that develops over time. Food always tastes great on iron, also. But I had never had a piece of pre-seasoned cast iron, so I was a bit skeptical about skipping the seasoning routine. The griddle got a good hot-water-only rub down out of the box, a generous coating of oil, and set on the stove to preheat for pancakes. The first one stuck just a little, but that was a temperature problem. All the rest of the pancakes were perfect - no sticking at all! And they were actually fluffier and had a crispier crust than usual, while the insides were oh-so-tender. Best pancakes ever! If this griddle cooks this well straight out of the box, I can't wait till it develops that beautiful shiny black patina!

Don't wait as long as I did: order this griddle soon! You really can use it immediately, and like all good cast iron, with proper care, it will last a lifetime!

I needed a smaller griddle for smaller jobs. This griddle does the job. I would recommend cooking foods that dont splatter the clean up is no fun. Other than that i do enjoy it

It would have been great.. but on it's FIRST use on Medium heat, midway through cooking, I heard a loud POP sound; only to realize it CRACKED!!! Unbelievable!!

Exactly what I needed. Nice evenly distributed heat, and non-stick much better than Teflon. Cleans up in an instant, most of the time with just a wipe.
Great product. Also own a skillet and Dutch oven by Lodge. Also great!
