Lodge Round Griddle 10.5 Inhes Diam 1/2"Deep (L90G3) - Cast Iron, Black

Star lodge product for the Indian household. Give it anything - rotis, omelette, dosa, pancake, crepe, kababs, cutlets it can handle them all. Doesn't take ages to heat up. Rotis don't burn easily on this. Works on Induction. What else would you need? Only few cons in my opinion. 1)heavier than most tawas 2)handle gets really hot and can be dangerous 3)expensive to the hilt. You could buy 5 to 6 Indian Tawas for that money. Maintenance is the same that we do for all iron Tawas at home. Don't soak. Don't scrub it like crazy to wash. Maintain a decent cleanliness and keep it oiled. Season once in a while. Enjoy good healthy food.

Quality is top notch. Browns food very well. Can sear meats like mutton and chicken on it, before cooking them separately. Can also make Uttapams and Dosas flawlessly. One tiny complaint is that, when I add ghee/oil before the sear, they don't stay in the middle of the tawa, and wander off to one side. But that may also be because my stove is slightly tilted.

After using for 6 months, I am satisfied with the product. The price can be little bit lower as lot of brand are available. First time using process is very simple and maintenance is very easy. It is very heavy , but be careful to handle it as there is no protection at the handle. The packing is awesome.

This was my first Lodge cast iron cookware. And I have recently picked up many Indian cast Iron cookware which are brilliant as well. But the quality and finish of Lodge products is a cut above the rest. While I am super please with transitioning to cast iron cookware, I am super excited with Lodge products. The price is on the higher side on account of freight and custom charges otherwise even with the exchange rate of USD it's a great value for money had it not been for the additional charges. Remember to be patient to season any cast iron cookware for a lifetime of exciting cooking. If the Lodge company gives special discount on sets and combos I will buy them all. Past. Keep a watch out for discounts and you can get lucky. Bought other Lodge cast iron cookware on special offers. Super cool for making Eggs and Omelettes totally nonstick and slides right off the skillet. Love every minute cooking with this skillet.

There is nothing on international quality and standards. The heat distribution is uneven - peripheries don't heat evenly; the surface is not perfectly flat - it's marginally elevated in the center. So when you spread the oil, it collects towards the peripheries keeping the center almost dry. And the greatest disappointment was poor seasoning. I seasoned it mildly thinking it was preseasoned. But to my disappointment, everything sticks to it. It's not better than a normal cast iron piece that you can get from your local vendor. MY SUGGESTION: DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY FOR LODGE, RATHER GET ANY OTHER CAST IRON TAWA IN HALF THR PRICE, AND SEASON THAT YOURSELF.

Lodge Cast Iron is very healthy to have. One can roast Chapati as well apart from Dosa. They have done good pre seasoning. Compared to other iron pan lodge iron pan is exemplary. It justifies the price of it. Only one has to maintain the same by regular seasoning by applying oil and rubbing with tissue paper. Incase of stain one can rub lemon with pinch of salt and clean it with water. And then season it with handful of oil and turning the gas on and then rubbing with tissue paper. For better results and to maintain for long run one is supposed to do seasoning with oil for 2/3 times by

I wanted to introduce cast iron in my kitchen and was a bit worried about all the TLC needed for the cast iron pans. I am more than glad to have opted for this well seasoned pan as it has not only given me confidence by being an ideal versatile pan but also earned myself a few brownie points for making excellent dosas.

When I received this the product was fine. Nothing stuck to it, even the first dosa, omlete came out perfectly well. I received this on 17th October and have been using it daily, following all the instructions. Was drying it completely by heating it, applying a bit of oil before storage, etc. For the last few days, the topcoat is flaking off and it seems as though the product had a layer of something applied to it to season it. Not sure how to completely remove that layer and use the Tava. Beneath it, it looks to be iron but without seasoning. I am not sure how authentic this product is..

Some reviewers talked about this pan as a great individual plate and I thought, huh? It's 15x9 approx., they must be giants! But, I looked at my rectangular pyrex dish for size comparison and I didn't figure that this pan's dimensions included the handle. Also, this pan is oval and this does make it narrow because of the tapering, making it feel much smaller than the actual dimensions, and it has a shallow lip, not deep like a regular pan, so pushing food around might get messy if you were grilling because it would probably spill over. That said, I kept it anyway because it's sturdy, has that handy wooden plate to rest it on so you can be sure you won't scorch any of your surfaces, and the handle holder is handy though you have to wrangle it onto the (hot) handle before taking the pan out of the oven, probably better to use a larger pot holder to take the pan out of the heat and then put the smaller cover on then. This would not be a problem if you were solely using it on a grill. I use this pan to roast sausages in the oven, it fits about five brats if they "spoon" behind each other. I do use a wee bit of oil to prevent the sausages from sticking, only because it takes a while for them to generate their own cooking juices and they can stick to the metal in the mean time which makes them hard to turn over. I let the pan cool completely before washing with warm water but no soap, pat dry, quick spray of oil, rub the excess off with a paper towel and then store. Never a problem with rust that way. Will probably get another one so I can do onions or other veg to bring to the table. Great value for money, stylish to look at, and cleverly designed.

I love all cast iron pans for their versatility, and especially the smaller ones, as they are not too heavy. This one is no exception. Its oval shape is even better than a round one, and it's the main reason for me buying it. I used it to bake bread loaf, grill some fish steaks, or a few veggies. It may be used on the stove or in the oven. It is small enough for my induction unit. Cleaning is easy. I use little mild dish soap especially after a smelly dish, like fish or a steak. Rinse it, and dry it with a paper towel. I either put it in the oven or even on the stove for a few min, for a better drying. Just before the heating I use a small drop of oil and spread it over the pan. The more you use it the better it is. Treat it with respect and it may last for a few generations.

Pues no hay mucho que decir, todos los productos Lodge me han resultado muy buenos, ésta plancha me ha funcionado muy bien para hacer huevos estrellados y carnes a la plancha. El secreto de estos productos es lavarlos antes de que se enfríen por completo con agua caliente y un cepillito para eliminar cualquier residuo (yo no uso jabón). Muy importante secarlo y volver a ponerlo en la flama para eliminar cualquier resto de humedad y todavía caliente, aceitar otra vez con una capa muy fina, esto para preservar la cubierta natural antiadherente que se les va formando. Estos sártenes son fabulosos porque entre más los uses, mejor funcionan. No es muy recomendable usarlos al principio con alimentos muy ácidos como tomate verde ó rojo ó algunos chiles porque te quedarías sin cubierta antiadherente al primer uso (aunque hay muchos tutoriales para arreglar esto). En general muy buenos todos estos sártenes y es fantástico que funcionan en flama directa, carbón, leña, inducción, eléctrica, etc. Son todo-terreno.

Product: The product (CI griddle) quality is amazing and robust. It is made of cast iron and very heavy in material. No joints make it much stronger. It was easy to use on electric stove and most ideal for Dosa preparation. the griddle gets no time to get hot and prepares dosa instantly. It is made in USA and the quality is great. Must buy for indoor and outdoor cooking purpose. Delivery and Packaging: The product was shipped by Amazon.ae. I purchased the product yesterday (4 PM) evening and I received it today morning (9 AM). Super fast prime service. The product did not have any brand packaging though, it came in a very protective bubble wrap and carton box. Thank you Amazon.ae

I bought these to go on top of my wood burning stove. I put caste iron pots on top of them with water in them. My husband keeps overfilling the pots and the stove was rusting prematurely. This gives him an idea that the pot is full before it hits the stove!
