Title: ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!
Review: I recieved my Lodge Logic LPG Pro 20 x 10 7/16 Inch Cast Iron Grill/Griddle, back in May 2011. I absolutely LOVE IT!!! I coat it on both sides with pure grapeseed oil using a paper towel and then wipe the excess with a clean sheet of paper before using it. Olive oil is not for very high temperatures and canola oil is not a healthy choice. For high temperatures, I use either coconut oil or grapeseed oil. The smoking point for olive oil is as follows; Extra virgin olive oil 320F, High quality (low acidity) extra virgin olive oil 405F, Virgin olive oil 420F and Extra light olive oil 468F. But, according to olive oil manufacturers on their websites, the smoking point of olive oil is 210F. Olive oil unlike others keeps its nutrition content at this temperature as stated. Therefore, I just coated the grill/griddle with the grapeseed oil. Fabulous results on my chicken breasts on the grill. The griddle is perfect for pancakes, blackened fish and meats, grilled vegetables and sandwiches. I never cook bacon because the sugary substance in bacon becomes very sticky. Sometimes, chicken also creates a sticky substance from its juices. It is very easy to clean and remove by heating the grill on medium heat until the sticky substance burns. It cracks, then just scrape lightly and remove. Just a snap.When I make some fish fillets, I put a very thin layer of extra virgin olive oil only in the area where I would place the 2 fillets on the griddle, while it was still cold. Heated it up on medium high for just 2 minutes, turn the heat down to medium and placed the fish fillets, which I cook for approximately 3 minutes on each side. Before flipping the fillets, add some olive oil on top. This is for blackened fish. Nice light crust on the outside and flaky inside. YUM, YUM, YUM!It is important that you heat your cast iron cookware on medium high to medium temperature with a very small amount of grease until a drop of water sizzles and rolls in the pan, before adding your food. Otherwise, your food will stick.If this helps, I have a Whirlpool gas stove, that has 2 flat grates that go vertically across 2 burners. This Logic Grill/Griddle fits perfectly on top. The half moon shaped handle is on each end away from each of the burners. I measured my stove, specifically across the 2 burners before ordering. I recommend, you measure your stove and distance from burner to burner before ordering. If your grates are not flat enough that would make the grill wobbley, you could buy some flat grate to place on top of each burner, like some people have suggested.As cast iron is supposed to be, the Logic Grill/Griddle is a little heavy, but not too heavy that you can not carry it around. I also ordered the 7 inch round Logic press that weighs approx. 4 lbs. and both items came in the same box. I am a 5'5" and 122 lb and 60 yrs. old female and I carried the box in, from the porch all the way to the kitchen, with no effort at all. Also, I believe that being a little heavy helps to keep the grill steady and firm on the grates on the stove, so I like that aspect of cast iron plus all the cooking benefits. Just in case you're not familiar with cast iron cookware, cast iron is supposed to be heavy. If you are over 80 yrs. old with a back problem, arthritis or parkinson, then perhaps it's not the type of cookware for you.I leave the grill/griddle on the stove. When I need all 4 burners, I just remove it and lean it against any wall in my kitchen out of the way. The other good feature about this grill/griddle is that if you are using just one burner, you can place your cooked food on the other end to keep it warm, while you cook something else.To clean it, I just use a paper towel to remove any burnt particles that were left and recoat with the oil before using it, if needed. Water and soap DO NOT kill germs 100%. Heat does. If it gets extremely dirty with hard to remove particles, I will scrub with just just water and if there stubborn stuck particles scrub it with the green scrubbing pads with or without soap, dry it on medium high heat on burner and coat with a very thin layer of oil. That's what I do with all my other cast iron Griswold cookware I have bought on Ebay. Always use stainless steel spatula and utensils on your cast iron cookware. Never use plastic or vinyl.You may remove old crud from your cast iron cookware with oven cleaner. After 24 hrs., wash it and scrub in water. Repeat process if there is still crud left. Then remove rust using a 50/50 white distilled vinegar and water solution, watching it carefully. Dry well and place it in 200 degrees F oven or on stove to dry completely and to open pores. Oil it immediately with a very thin layer of flaxseed oil. Place in cold oven and pre-heat at 450 to 500 degreesF (or highest your oven heats) and when it reaches temperature, bake for an hour. Turn oven off and allow it to cool in oven for 2 hrs.. You may repeat process about 6 times. Never add thick layers of oil that would drip because it'll make your cast iron sticky.There are other brands of good cast iron cookware like Griswold and Wagner, but I believe they are out of business today. You can find those items on Ebay but they go for an arm and a leg. Besides I haven't seen a grill by them so far. So, for this price you can't beat the Lodge Logic stove top grill. Perhaps not the best brand, but does the job!I used the Logic 7" Round Press on chicken breast, steaks, fish fillets and sandwiches and it worked great! I keep the press in the warming drawer. I might order another press.I'm not a chef or professional cook, but I've always loved to cook and to create recipes, so I'm familiar with many cookware and products and of certain cooking temperatures.I'm adding a some pictures of an Argentinean Grill that I made on the Lodge Logic grill side. The pictures will only show the food after removed from the grill, but you can see some of the grill marks. I just love it!I have ordered many products from Amazon throughout the years and my experience has always been WONDERFUL. I used the Super Saving Shipping with these items and they still arrived within 5 and 7 days after I placed the order. Can't beat that!Good luck and hope you enjoy this product as much as I do! 🙂

Title: Simply Blown Away!
Review: I have been cooking on cast iron for over 20 years. For those unfamiliar with cast iron, you simply dont know what your missing. The flavor is second to none and the pans are virtually indestructible. I only had 2 10" skillets and I have wanted to buy some new pieces for quite some time. In particular, I have wanted to buy a 12' skillet, a dutch oven, and a griddle. I was actually hesitant to buy from Lodge based on the price being so low. How often does something like that happen? Anyways, after doing an ample amount of research I decided to pull the trigger and I ordered 2 pieces, this griddle and the 12" skillet. To say I am impressed is a massive understatement, especially when you consider the price. Lodge cast iron could very well be the best deal going in the entire cookware market. I certainly cant think of its equal, at least not that has this price point.My biggest concern was with the pre-seasoning. Its not that big of a deal as seasoning cast iron is very easy but I didn't know if that was something I was going to have to do or not. I was pleasantly surprised as these pans really are ready to go right out of the box. Cast iron has never been this easy. The first thing I cooked was eggs using the 12" skillet and the flavor was just as good as my 20 year old pans, something I wasn't expecting. I then cooked up some pancakes using the griddle and they were nothing short of amazing. Of course, having a griddle of this size is great as it allows me to cook 6 pancakes at a time. I used to have to cook one or 2 at a time depending how big I made them. By the time you got three plates worth done, the initial pancakes were already cold. Well, say good bye to that problem. I also love that this griddle doubles as an indoor grill. I openly admit, I was initially only looking to get a griddle but the fact that this doubles as a grill is just amazing and it ultimately makes this pan just that much more indispensable and that much more of a bargain as your really getting 2 pans in one, 2 bigs pans at that. We tried the grill side out by cooking up some burgers and some asparagus and red and orange peppers. Once again the results were amazing. We have since cooked on both pans multiple times and each time the results were top notch. I had my doubts about the Lodge pre-seasoning but no longer. Its top notch and is really quite ingenious. Its important to note that this pan is extremely heavy. I would estimate that it weighs roughly 20 pounds. Its one big piece of cast iron! So if lifting heavy objects is a problem for you then you might want to consider that before buying.For those new to cast iron, just remember a few simple rules and your pans should last forever. When cooking, bring the heat up slowly and when using the griddle, make sure you heat both sides evenly even if your only using one side. In regards to cleaning, always hand wash with a stiff nylon brush. Never use detergents or soap and always use hot water as rinsing a hot cast iron pan with cold water can actually cause your pans to crack. Follow these rules and your pans will most likely outlast you.Bottom line - I am absolutely blown away by Lodge Cast Iron. The quality is amazing, the price is amazing, and the pre-seasoned pans are literally ready to go right out of the box. Again cast iron has never been this easy. This grill/griddle is easily one of the nicest pans I have ever come across. For those that have never tried cast iron, what are you waiting for? With Lodge's pricing, what do you really have to lose? As I stated in my 12" skillet review, I will be recommending Lodge Cast Iron to everyone I know, right after I order a few more pans.5 Stars and then some!!!

Review: Not a very good picture but, those were two massive rib steaks. The griddle fits nicely across two burners on my stove. It gets nice and hot, consistently across the grill enabling an excellent sear! Itâs dead easy to clean, just stick it in the sink and give it a good scrub. Heavy but not so heavy I canât lift it. I think it smoked a bit the first time I used it but that wasnât an issue. For grilled cheese, I think it was my error. I burned them! The griddle gets so hot, I should have been more careful with the heat setting and turned the burners down.I am loving this griddle and will use it whenever I donât feel like going outside to bar-b-que steaks etc.

Review: Love it. Can cook loads on it. Pretty easy to clean...just run under hot water and scrub with a plastic brush or a little scrape for really tough stuff. After cleaning I pit back on the hob for a few minutes to make sure fully dry and rub a bit of oil in with a paper towel. If particularly bad for any reason whack on the hob full blast for 15 mins and open the window and seems to self clean

Review: La calidad de los productos Lodge esta fuera de duda, esta hecho con toda la mano y no tienen defectos sus productos, cuento con dos sartenes y ahora con esta plancha (comal). Por que pagar mas por este comal que con otros que se consiguen en mercados? Porque el material y el acabado es de primera calidad, por que tiene doble vista: por un lado esta completamente liso ideal para tortillas, huevos, tocino, hotcakes, cebollas, etc... y por el otro lado tiene una parrilla que es excelente para que la grasa de cortes de res, pollo, hamburguesas caiga la grasa que se desprende al cocinarse, dejando las proteinas sin tanta grasa, bueno, eso dice mi esposa, tambien ese lado cuenta con un resaque que ayuda a mandar ahi dichas grasas... Esta pesado el comal, no es liviano pero nada que algun adulto pueda manejar. El envio y servicio de Amazon, como siempre excelente, llegando antes de lo estipulado. Recomendable 100%.

Review: trotz der negativen Rezensionen, habe ich es gewagt diese Gusseisen-Grillpfanne von Lodge zu kaufen. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Produkt. Meine Grillpfanne ist auch von 2012. War original verpackt. Eventuell etwas nachgebessert. Das spielt aber für mich keine Rolle. So eine Gusseisen Grillpfanne wird über Generationen weiter vererbt, mit ein bisschen "Flugrost" sollte man umgehen können.
