Lodge Grid Iron Griddle

I have had this griddle for years and use it to broil salmon filets. I like it so much that I have recently bought another one for my future son-in-law who is a deer hunter. I got it for his birthday and I know that it will last his lifetime if he takes care of it. It is 17 inches long and perfect for those large salmon filets or multiple steaks. I use the side that has the raised ribs to elevate the meat or fish off of the surface. The other side is smooth and I have used it to griddle pancakes and fry eggs on the stove top. It would be great to use over a campfire. It's probably an inch thick cast iron so it packs nicely. The 17X9 inch surface is all usable space because the handles are exterior to the actual cooking surface. For the price and a lifetime of use it cannot be beat.

I couldn't wait to get my new griddle, I own several pieces of Lodge cast iron so I knew I'd be getting a quality product. My daughter will probably inherit this!

I bought this griddle to take camping with me since cooking is a big part of camping for me. I have found the Lodge griddle to be invaluable on these trips. I cook bacon and sausage on one side and turn it over and wipe it off and cook pancake and eggs on the other side. It works great.

I'm a beginner when it comes to cast iron cooking. However, this is a solid durable piece of cookware. I was impressed with the durability. I've only used it once to date. The cleanup of this product is difficult, especially since they recommend ONLY using hot water (no soap). But I got great grill marks off of it! There isn't much depth for grease run off, so I wouldn't recommend cooking bacon on it.

I love this griddle. And the price is really reasonable. I've seen this same griddle at other stores for as much as $30 more. We use this all the time. The only thing I would change is to make the cooking area just a little bit wider to fit more pancakes on. :)
