The Best Griddle

A 9.5 x 16.75 inch cast iron griddle that’s flat on one side and ribbed on the other. It spans two burners and is pre-seasoned and ready to use.

The flat side is good for pancakes and grilled cheese. The ribbed side creates grill marks on burgers and vegetables and lets fat drain away.

Usage

Preheat over medium heat for several minutes before cooking. Use the flat side for delicate items like eggs and fish. Use the ribbed side for foods that benefit from grill marks. Let the griddle cool gradually to avoid thermal shock.

Cleaning

Clean while warm with hot water and a stiff brush. Don’t use soap - it strips the seasoning. Dry thoroughly and apply a thin layer of cooking oil to maintain the seasoning. Never put cast iron in the dishwasher.
