3.0 out of 5 stars
cheap on the material,
By ervin hamilton (Atlanta, Georgia United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lodge Seasoned Finish 10-1/2-Inch Cast Iron Round Griddle (Kitchen)
I am a great fan of cast iron cookware and have quite a few pieces. The 10-1/2 in. round griddle is my first by Lodge however, I just happened to see it on sale and bought it. Although I think the overall quality is good, I soon realized the handle was much too short. I do not have large hands (I'm 5'8" and 145 lbs. male) yet handling the pan is really awkward especially if the handle or my hand is wet (forget soapy). In fact I have a couple of 10-1/2 in. skillets (not Lodge nor both the same brand) that even though they are heavier they are much easier to handle because they weren't so stingy with the amount of material used for the handle.

a great little griddle,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lodge Seasoned Finish 10-1/2-Inch Cast Iron Round Griddle (Kitchen)
This is my first piece of cast iron cookware, and I'm very happy with it. I've been using it for crepes, and they come out beautifully even. Once it's seasoned, you only need a touch of oil when cooking to maintain the non stick surface. The handle is a bit short, though, so you need an oven mitt to move the pan when it's hot.

This review is from: Lodge Seasoned Finish 10-1/2-Inch Cast Iron Round Griddle (Kitchen)
I bought this griddle barely three weeks ago. I didn't really need it, but I thought the price at the time was a bargain ($9.99), and I needed something else around $10 to avoid the dreaded S/H charge.
I have been using cast iron for a long time and still have my first cast iron skillet that has seen it's share of trials and tribulations over a 20 year period, including bouts in the dishwasher from a roommate who was clueless about any type of cookware. All I had to do was reseason it and it was restored. I like cast iron because it gets really hot and retains heat, and lasts forever. This griddle is no exception. I already have a pizza stone, but I had a recipe that featured baking the pizza in cast iron cookware, and I wanted to try it so I made it on the griddle. The results were spectacular. The crust browned evenly on the bottom and was nice and crispy, and I cut it and served right from the griddle. The griddle is also perfect for making biscuits. Preheat the pan in the oven for about 10 minutes, then place the biscuits on it and bake as usual. Baking the biscuits on the preheated griddle, makes the bottoms crispy. I have also used the griddle for grilled cheese, panini's (using the grill press) and quesadilla's. All, in all, I think this is a great piece of cookware that makes a nice addition to my collection of cast iron. I own several pieces of Lodge cookware and have never had any problems like cracking, warping, or twisting. Someone mentioned in an earlier review that the griddle was starting to "discolor" after only 3 uses. It's supposed to "discolor." It goes from its orignial factory finish gray, to hues of brown and eventually coal black with repeated use. The more you use cast iron, the better it gets. If you use it daily, it will turn black quicker than if you use it on occasion. I still have pieces that I have had in excess of 5 years that are still not black. Since I only use those pieces occasionally, that's to be expected.
