Lodge 18 Inch Pre-Seasoned Carbon Steel Griddle - Unparalleled Heat Retention - Use in the Oven, on a Gas Stove, on the Grill, or Over a Campfire - Black

I got this for cooking on my 3 burner Coleman camp stove. I was able to cook breakfast for 6 easily, and still had a burner free for boiling water. It didn't heat quite as even as my cast iron, but it's much easier to wash and handle, plus less issues with rust, so it's a fair trade off. I also used it at home on my bridge burner to crank out tortillas, and it worked well on my glass top. Very happy with this, exactly what I was looking for!

Bought this for our outdoor grill. My boyfriend wanted something that would hold up to the heat of the grill. We can also use this on the stove top. Worth having. Lodge is one of the best in cast iron.

Dude it has writing on the cooking side... deep engraving... gonna be hell to wash, i sent it back b4 i used it. Didn't want to have to clean that food out of the engraving... but would've been good in size and quality otherwise bur like 1.5 inch on each side is engraved and wouldn't be good for cooking so maybe not... someone should be fired for such a poor choice of brand placement on product. But ehh no skin off my bones.

This doesn't live up to the rest of the Lodge cookware I own. It's certainly not flat and the initial surface is way rougher than other items I've gotten from them.On the plus side, it's thin, so it's light and was able to be bent back to being almost completely flat (using some ingenuity and a heavy duty vise. We'll use it on an induction stovetop, so flatness matters, but for a grill or camping it wouldn't matter much. I think now that it's flat it'll work okay, but it may warp back. Time will tell.

I use this multitasker on my indoor gas stove and outdoor gas grill vs buying a full flat top cooker. Got it on sale for a great price. Comes pre-seasoned but you can always add another coat of your own. As for durability, it’s Lodge!

I wanted to be sure to come back and write a review for this because I spent a very long time searching for a griddle that would work on the bridge element of my GE Cafe Induction Range that didn’t have any kind of chemical nonstick coating. It wasn’t an easy thing to find. Most cast iron griddles have an uneven bottom that wouldn’t make contact with the induction surface. When I found this flat one I assumed it would work but was hesitant to purchase because it doesn’t say it’s induction compatible and the reviews on it were pretty mixed. I finally decided it was worth a shot and I’m SO glad I did despite the reviews! It has quickly become my most used pan. We’ve used it pretty much daily for the last 2 months since purchasing it. For the first several uses I added a good bit of extra oil to get it good and seasoned and now it’s perfect! It’s basically non-stick at this point. It’s super easy to clean. I typically don’t wash it, just scrape it clean and wipe it with a rag. I haven’t had any issues with warping like some other reviewers have mentioned but I also don’t ever really need to heat it on high. I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it. One thing that probably bears mentioning is that the cooking surface doesn’t heat evenly throughout, but in my experience that’s just the nature of cooking with a griddle, not a flaw in this specific one. I’ve seen several reviews that complain about uneven heat, but I believe the hottest areas will always be the areas over the actual heating elements (whether that be induction, electric, or a flame) and the rest will not be as hot. Just bear this in mind while cooking and you shouldn’t have any issues. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase! Highly recommend if your searching for an induction-compatible griddle!

Lodge has been used by my family for decades but this one missed the mark for me. Received 2 of these griddles and both were warped so bad they wouldn't sit on my stove top. Had to go with a different brand that works great

I love this pan for cooking bacon in the oven or on the grill.
