I personally prefer iron over the non-stick pans for their durability. I have used a lot of non-stick pans previously replacing one brand after another as the coating peels, but this iron pan is really good. We use it to make dosa and sometimes toast the bread. it heats up pretty quickly and evenly. Just one thing I didn't like is that the handle is also made of iron and hetas up and makes it unable to hold. It's pre seasoned, but I do season it a little cooking oil on tissue after I wash it and before cooking to prevent rust. Overall, it's better than non-stick ones.

As Good as Always

It's Lodge brand tried and true! I make small gordita tortillas so 3 will fit on my round griddle. Its perfect for small spaces and is preseasoned. All i did was give it a good rinse with plain warm water and towel dry it immediately to avoid rust. Apply a light coat of oil before first use and preheat. Slap a tortilla on the griddle and let it cook awhile before moving it or the wet masa will stick. When the oil on griddle merges with the oil in the masa it creates a slick surface then you can easily turn your tortilla. I have not used it for pancakes or anything else yet. I dont have a proper cast iron scraper so i used a heat resistant spatula to scape any residue that remained, then wiped it clean with a new dish cloth and some oil and the next batch came out perfect also. I love my Lodge griddle and highly recommend this product...it will last a life time. Just wipe water off of it immediately to avoid rust.

Very nice pan !!

THIS is my favourite pan! I juse it for most everything. Eggs, fried potatoes, toasting bread, really anything I can heat up. =) I love it!!! It cleans super easy, just wipe it. It sits pretty on my stove top waiting to be used. ha ha

Terrible product

Ruined the first time using it. The coating that every other pan I’ve purchased was not on this one it came off in patches and every other time using it burns in those patchy places. I do not recommend.

Best crêpe pan

This is the perfect crêpe pan be sure to get a handle protector for for this pan you can get it at the manufactures website of Walmart doesn’t sell it. I bought this for crêpes but I use it for grilled pizza also and if you’ve never had a grilled pizza throw one on there and flip it it’s delicious large makes some really wonderful pieces and I am in love with cooking with Cast Iron, and if you’re intimidated or a little afraid just check out Cast Iron on YouTube I have a lot of functional pieces from loaf pans to cake pans to Bundt pans. It is so much easier to process the cake that’s been cooked in Cast Iron than it is to cook one in a nonstick aluminum cake pan which by the way never a good idea , carbonized stainless steel is the only way to go if you can’t do Cast Iron goes from stove top to oven with no problems as old cast-iron well buy it you won’t regret it oh, it’s good for the standard eggs fried grilled cheese sandwiches

Favorite Lodge piece

love this smaller griddle. got it on sale. great for eggs, burgers, grilled cheese. lighter and easier to handle than the bigger pans. has a small imperfection in the surface which kept it from a 5 star rating, but not bad enough to return.

Heats up quick, evenly and easy to clean

It was a challenge adjusting to using an electric stove top at my new apartment, but with this iron griddle, cooking and heating food is faster and convenient. The iron griddle heats up evenly and quick; clean up is easy and fast. I bought 2 griddles, one to cook/heat food and the second one to warm the tortillas.

Love it

I just wrote a review for the skillet basically it is the same! The skillet’s surface provides excellent non-stick capabilities once properly seasoned, which enhances the cooking experience. I also appreciate that it’s versatile and can be used on various heat sources, including stovetops, ovens, and even campfires.

Okay for the price

Pretty good comal, heavy material and good casting. Works a treat after smoothing the cooking surface with an angle grinder and a stone, and then re-seasoning. Out of the box though it's just okay.

I bought the pan to cook homemade corn tortillas. However, used it for the first time last night for hamburgers and they came out beautiful. Will get a lot of use from this pan. Note, though, the pan has a bit of a rough texture, which is good to know before purchasing.

Love my griddle..

I have been using a skillet to heat my tortillas on because i didn't have a good old comal/griddle. Thought it was time to get one, and this was actually a great deal. I'm so happy i got it, and it's preseasoned, so i dont have to do it myself. even better. Nice and seasoned..heavy like cast iron shpuld be.great price. I can't beat that..

Does the job.

I've been cooking a lot of flatbreads and crepes lately and doing so in a conventional cast-iron skillet is problematic. I love cast iron so this item is exactly what I needed. After prepping and re-seasoning, I've used it several times with no complaints.

Nice for pancakes and more.

After received my griddle, I made French toast for my daughter and I and they came out great using the griddle. Next time I wanted to try it making pancakes and great turn out there too. Just have to keep it clean and seasoned.

Don’t let the vip bs fool u

Great product always loved the cast iron. Thing is it’s $6 cheaper in the store. Noticed many products slightly marked up $1/$3 extra on the Walmart then again, some items slightly cheaper online.. guess we really need to pay attention these days. Also seems like the shoppers bring sub par products and rotten or almost spoiled produce on purpose! Now that’s just blasphemy. Heads up!

Awesome pan for Dosa!

Was looking for a Dosa pan for long time, replaced 3-4 nonstick dosa pans, every pans bends with heat after a month of use. Finally ended up with this Lodge Cast iron, works well on the Glasstop stove. Really loves a lot - using same pan for both Dosa and Chappathi. Finally! Satisfied!

Perfect for making rotis: Lodge 10 5 Cast Iron Griddle

Great for making rotis and other Indian breads. Easy to use once you get hang of it. Better than non-stick pans for Indian cooking. Highly recommend for traditional recipes.

Great cast iron griddle

I purchase this griddle to heat up tortillas and cook bacon now and then. Ut sits nice and flat on my glass top range. Don't forget to dial down the heat once it starts to cook or it'll start smoking. Since it retains heat so well; a medium setting or less is all you need.

Shoulda bought it sooner

Ive had this thing two weeks %26 ive used it a hundred times. I just look for any reason to use it. I made my nephew eat 6 grilled cheese sandwiches just because i wanted to use this wonderful thing. Its big enough to fit two sandwiches at a time. Its perfectly seasoned right out of the box. I gave it a quick wash %26 immediately cooked with it. I see people complain about sticking, those people have to be using it on the hottest setting. If you use it like you should use cast iron, you wont have any trouble.

Healthy option for Indian Chapatis

I was a little skeptical while buying this product for Indian flat bread i.e. chapatis considering the need for regular seasoning n all. But I would like to tell that my chapatis are coming off very well with this griddle. I dont even need to season it on a daily basis. Nd this is a healthy option as compared to the regular non stick tawas or griddles available for Indian chapatis.

Cast-iron crêpe skillet

I love everything about it. I have a glass top stove so I have to be careful sitting it down on the eye. But it’s well worth the effort. It evenly distributes the heat for perfect cooking for crêpes, pancakes, etc. I also use it for baking biscuits in my oven. Cast-iron has always been the best cooking method There is a for evenly distributed heat
