Lodge L9OG3 26.67 cm / 10.5 inch Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Round Griddle / Pancake Pan, Black

Product Information

The right size stovetop griddle for you depends on how much storage space you have, as well as what you plan to use it for. If you regularly feed a hungry sports team, you’ll want something that spans a minimum of two burners, and is at least 18 inches long and up to 28 inches wide. On the other hand, if you have minimal storage space or usually cook for one to two people, a skillet-style griddle or single-burner pan will suffice. Size: make sure it’s the right size for you and your family. As a general guide, a 10-inch (25cm) pan is perfect for two, a 12-inch (30cm) pan is ideal for four. For larger families, opting for a larger pan is of undoubtedly the better choice. Cast Iron griddles, like a good wine, get better with age. This is true unless you decide to wash them with soap. After over 10 years of using cast iron griddles I have never had one rust and here I’ll show you my secret. Cooking on a medium or low heat gets the best results — even for frying and searing. Let the product heat up gradually for great tasting food that’s cooked evenly. If you do need to use a higher heat, lower the setting once the desired heat has been reached. A rainbow of colour: available in an array of colours, our range will inject a pop of vibrant hues in your kitchen.

Concerns about rust are one of the biggest barriers to using cast iron cookware. However, it’s really a non-issue if you remember one simple thing: water is the enemy.In our best cast iron griddles list, we cover a variety of different griddles. There are many different shapes and sizes and we look at many different cast iron griddles to find only the best. Use the product on the most appropriately sized hob ring — it’ll make your food cook more evenly, and reduce the risk of damage to the handles and sides. This is especially important on induction hobs: if you use the wrong-sized ring, there’s a risk the hob won't ‘recognise’ the product. Arrives Pre-seasoned: Whether you’re in the mood for pancakes or grilled cheese, French toast or steak, our pre-seasoned cast iron griddle gives you the freedom to dive into deliciousness immediately. Lightly season with oil after every wash to keep it in great condition. Cleaning is very easy and there are no complaints about this griddle rusting. As with all cast iron griddles, they will rust if you don’t take care of them. Simply clean them by using a little salt and water on a paper towel. You can also look into specific scrubbers and oils designed for preserving your cast iron griddle for gas grills. After you’re done cooking there’s not much cleaning that need to be done. If you are using a ridged griddle you may need to scrape off anything that gets get in the ridges. However, if you’re using a flat griddle I find that I hardly ever have to deep clean them and this is why I like them so much.

The golden rule of griddling is to oil the food, not the pan. There's no point adding oil to the pan, as it'll drain away between the ridges. Great tasting food: the cast iron construction retains heat for even cooking and browning. Your delicious creations will also stay warmer at the table for longer. The flat side of the cast iron griddle plate is great for crispy thin pizzas, jumbo pancakes, crepes and more. The ridged side is ideal for cooking steaks, seafood, vegetables and more. It also features a built-in drip tray for catching fat and oil.Pouring spouts: look for skillets that come equipped with pouring spouts as they prove incredibly useful when it comes to disposing of fat or grease or when making a delicious gravy or sauce, as these spouts allow for mess-free pouring. Spouts on either side of the pan mean they’re easy to use for both left- and right-handed users. Versatile: Our cast iron griddles aren’t just great for large family breakfasts. Use them to grill or fry up steak, fish, or entrees too big to fit into a cast iron skillet. The generous size also makes this griddle perfect for roasting veggies on the grill. It has a large surface area of about 12.5 inch diameter, perfect for medium-sized pizzas. Overall, with the removable wire handles, it’s nearly 18″ wide. The handles say ‘cool touch’ but I would still use hot pads. If they could easily be transferred to the oven: most cast iron skillet pans are oven-safe, but we wanted to make sure that going from hob to oven or even oven to table, was safe and easy.
