 Excellant for Pizza etc. Jul 10, 2010
This is great for baking it just takes some getting used to. Cookies and turnovers get over cooked unless turned.
As for the reviewers who complain about the handle getting hot. Just buy the lodge signature series with stainless handles (it only costs 5 to 10x as much) or buy a good oven mitt or two.
Obviously several of the reviewers are illiterate as they didn't read the care instructions. But to be fair Lodge doesn't say that you really need to boil water in the pan and then wpie with oil and heat before using. The pre-seasoning only shortens the seasoning process, it DOES NOT REPLACE SEASONING!
Makes a steak taste fantastic! Jun 25, 2010
A few things to remember about cast iron. It doesn't take a lot of burner heat to get it hot. Don't get overzealous in cleaning. A coating of grease makes it better. Steaks are cooked to perfection by sprinkling a layer of salt on the pan and frying on medium heat until done to your liking. Cleanup is a breeze. Just grab the hot griddle with an oven mitt and running hot water on it until the crusties come off. Scrub just a little, then put the clean griddle back on the now turned-off burner to finish drying. Add a little coating of oil if you want it more seasoned.
 A solid Lodge product Jun 21, 2010
I bought this griddle for my grandmother to replace an old griddle/comal that she's had for at least 30 years before finally cracking down the middle. After learning a lot about the intricicies of cast iron, I realized that she never took care of her products like you're really supposed to, so the griddle only lasted her 30 years instead of a lifetime . . . still a great value! And hey, she's an old Mexican grandma. She was more worried about making sure her 7 kids were fed than she was about making sure her cast iron products looked pretty. Someone go find me a teflon product that will last 4-5 years, much less 30!
Anyway, I was visiting her when I ordered the product so I could season it when it arrived. Of course, this line of Lodge products come already pre-seasoned, but I think it's always good to season the cast iron yourself no matter what. After giving it a good wash with a stiff brush and hot water, I dried it and cooked some bacon on it, wiped down the pan, spreading the fat around, and dropped it in the oven for about an hour. I then gave the griddle another wipe-down and let it sit for a while. The result? During the rest of my visit, I cooked eggs, pancakes, steaks, and many other things on the griddle without any of it sticking and using only a minimal amount of oil. My grandma also got the chance to make tortillas on it (the primary use for her previous griddle). Lodge really does make great cast iron cookware and this griddle is evidence for that claim. This griddle will probably last the rest of my lifetime. And for the price, that's an amazing value!
Cast Iron Griddle Jun 17, 2010
Lodge is the country's leading manufacturer of cast iron cookware, and they didn't let me down this time around.
The griddle came pre-seasoned but I re-seasoned it myself and the pan cooks everything wonderfully.
Cannot go wrong with good cast iron.
Great Griddle! Jun 03, 2010
I didn't get this on Amazon but wanted to add a review. This is a great griddle. With my first use I just sprayed on some non-stick spray and my pancakes cooked up quickly and evenly. No sticking at all and I didn't have to re-apply any non-stick spray. I don't know why anyone had problems with sticking. Perhaps they didn't allow warm up time. The surface I found to be smooth, not rough. I'm very happy with it. And since it's a flatter griddle it's not overly heavy. A definate keeper.
