Title: This cast iron can elevate your culinary experience! Great price too!
Review: Cast iron, the unsung hero of the kitchen, stands as a testament to culinary prowess and timeless durability. Picture this: a heavy, black skillet that seems to hold centuries of secrets in its seasoned surface. Cast iron cookware is the kitchen's equivalent of a trusty sidekick, always ready to tackle any culinary challenge with gusto.But what makes cast iron so great, you ask? Well, for starters, its unparalleled heat retention capabilities ensure that your food cooks evenly and stays warmer for longer. Whether you're searing a steak to perfection or frying up a batch of crispy chicken, cast iron delivers mouthwatering results every time.And the versatility! Oh, the versatility! From stovetop to oven to grill, cast iron can handle it all. It's your go-to pan for sautéing, frying, baking, and even roasting. Plus, it's naturally non-stick once properly seasoned, making cleanup a breeze.Now, when it comes to buying cast iron, there are a few things to keep in mind. Look for pans with a smooth cooking surface and sturdy construction. Avoid any pans with rough patches or uneven edges, as these can affect cooking performance.Caring for your cast iron is a labor of love, but oh-so-rewarding. After each use, simply wipe it clean with a paper towel or soft cloth, then rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. Never use soap, as it can strip away the pan's seasoning. Instead, use a stiff brush or scraper to remove any stubborn bits of food. To maintain its non-stick surface, rub a thin layer of oil onto the pan after each use and store it in a dry place.Now, let's talk about the pièce de résistance: the Lodge round cast iron pan. This beauty is exactly what you need for making delicious tortillas. Its perfectly even heating ensures that each tortilla comes out golden and crispy, with just the right amount of char. Plus, its generous size means you can cook up a whole stack of tortillas at once, perfect for feeding a hungry crowd or simply indulging in a taco Tuesday feast all by yourself. So, if you're ready to elevate your tortilla game to new heights, look no further than the Lodge round cast iron pan. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you.

Title: More long-term reliability and fun than non-stick and better for the environment.
Review: When the ceramic coating started chipping off my waffle maker, I was not happy. The only cookware I have that is long lasting is cast iron. But I can't find a castiron waffle maker from a source I trust buying.I decided to start making crepes because I don't like the soggy floppiness of pancakes. But the non-stick electric crepe maker made me uncomfortable each time I took it out of the cupboard. I wanted to feel at ease with all my cookware, not just my cast iron, but that seemed very unlikely for making waffles.I immediately washed the griddle with soap and water, rinsed thoroughly, and seasoned a couple times in my oven.Before this griddle arrived, I researched a few recipes in preparation. So I made crepes for several days. Not a single crepe burned or stuck to the griddle. Every crepe slid off easily onto a waiting rack.I have never made crepes on a griddle or skillet but it was easier than using the electric crepe maker. And I didn't have to shuffle zen garden tools around my small work area.Making crepes wasn't my only interest for this new griddle. I have other Lodge cast iron, 12 at the time of this review. They are of a solid build and versatile.Making crepes is just doing the same thing, same batter, same heat setting, same spatula again and again. You learn a lot more about your cooking abilities with using cast iron when you make different food.No one wants leftover fried chicken or pizza that is soggy. Using this griddle as a sheet pan in the oven is perfect for reheating leftovers. Bits of cheese didn't stick when making grilled cheese. Peppers and onions can be sauteed quickly. Homemade bread rolls, biscuits, and dough wrapped sausages bake with an even crust color.Using cast iron, you owe it to yourself to do some experimenting. Use stainless steel spatulas with your cast iron? Yes! If you are really heavy handed you might get a scratch or two. But repeatedly seasoning your griddle makes it so it's practically self-healing. Keep using the cast iron and those scratches disappear more quickly than you can guess - as you season. I cut food while still on the griddle regularly and I can't see a single scratch.You can use a mild soap when cleaning the griddle. I usually only use soap before the first use. I have not had food stick to the point where I have to soak it in water. Run water, use a brush or scraper, and a little coarse if needed. Cleaning is done in about a minute, then dry and season. For me, doesn't matter if it's as soon as the griddle has cooled, or the next day. That's not heavy maintenance at all. Any one tells you cast iron is too much time and work to maintain is just lazy or not well informed.The first Lodge cast iron I purchased for myself was a 12" skillet and with each new Lodge, I am more than satisfied with the performance and excited to explore new recipes and make old recipes more fun. Yesterday I made giant 10 inch cookies with this griddle. Rumors that sugar ruins cast iron seasoning are false. I make cookies, brownies, cobblers, hand pies, cheesecakes, pound cakes, scones, etc. often because I have a passion for baking. My giant cookies released from the griddle after using an angled spatula in one spot. Cookie nearly popped up like a jack-in-the-box. Again, success and easy cleanup, much better than my old non-stick cookie sheets ever did.Am I pleased with this griddle? Yes, absolutely! Would I recommend it for crepes, pancakes, reheating food, making giant cookies? Yes, certainly! I know this griddle is a Lodge and as always reliable cast iron. I also know that I am looking forward to learning to make the most of it and learn to make food I have not tried, like dosa, corn tortillas and whatever recipes others want to share.

Title: My first cast iron - I love it!
Review: This cast iron griddle has changed my life. I had been searching for a waffle iron but couldn't find any models that weren't toxic or badly designed in some way. Instead, I opted for this well-priced, nicely-sized griddle and I've been so pleased! Several times a week, I whip up some healthy oat pancakes with shredded zucchini or blueberries, or carrots and applesauce. Pancakes are so forgiving, you can put whatever in them and create a quick healthy meal. This sturdy griddle is just as forgiving. I love that I can use metal utensils and the heat is very even. Super easy to use, just wipe it clean and keep it dry. So far, so good!

Title: Excellent product
Review: A definite 5 star for this griddle. If you use an electric stove and heat up or make tortillas this is a must have. This griddle is a perfect size for my use, it heats up very fast and retains the heat instead of allowing it to dissipate unlike aluminum or thin stainless steel. Excellent for crepes and wraps too. I love it.

Title: Great Griddle, I use it everyday, but it really is not pre-seasoned
Review: Out of the box, it really is not pre-seasoned. I used it, and everything stuck to it. Terrible.But, after cleaning it up and seasoning it, I love it.So I would have given it 5 stars but I can only give it 4 on account of the pre-seasoning.It is heavy duty, heats evenly, retains heat great (I shut off the gas when the eggs are about half cooked and the residual heat finishes cooking perfectly).Well worth the money, just make sure to season it before you use it.

Review: Highly recommended iron pan for regular use. If used properly like washing and seasoning it, it will work like a charm without rust. I have been using it from past 3 years with no rust and quality is still top notch!
