This is a great cast iron griddle! The POSITIVES: -double sided (smooth side and grill side) -VERY heavy/sturdy -holds a lot of food (e.g. at least 10-12 strips of bacon) -Unlike many other large griddles, I can get the whole thing positioned over a single burner on my smaller gas stove. The edges don't get as hot as the center this way, but I can still use the entire surface of the griddle to cook. I also have access to my other burners. I love it for making breakfast sandwiches. I can fry bacon & eggs, as well as onions and mushrooms all on the same skillet (at the same time) with little crowding. Saves me a ton of time and fewer dishes! It's also great for making pancakes and French toast. I have only cooked hotdogs on the grill side. They turn out as good as you can get without the actual BBQ grill. Good enough for me (and my grill master husband when he's not in the mood to fire up the grill). I'm looking forward to grilling burgers and chicken on it soon. POTENTIAL NEGATIVES: -Its weight may be too heavy for some. You'll definitely need two hands and forearm strength to maneuver it. If you have arthritis or poor hand strength, you'll likely have difficulty cleaning it. -It does not arrive very smooth, but many cast iron pans don't. I've only used it 5-6 times so far, and there is less and less sticking with each use. The only real trouble I had were sticky eggs on the outer edges. But they did fine in the center, even when it wasn't seasoned in the beginning. I'm new to cast iron cooking, but loving it so far. My husband grew up on cast iron and introduced me to it. I never thought he'd give up his favorite 10" round skillet, but he absolutely LOVES this griddle! I would highly recommend this item to anyone looking for a larger sized griddle for stovetop frying and grilling.
I planned to use this griddle on the stovetop but it has a very bumpy surface texture and seems better suited to outdoor use on the grill.
Love the fast delivery and the quality of this Bayou Classic Cast Iron Reversible Griddle!!! Reversible is what sold me...Great item!!
Its the same type used on all the cooking shows. Also very heavy, its cast iron and needs special attention otherwise it will rust.
This is a quality cast iron grill. No nonstick, no aluminum - this is the real deal. The grill marks on my chicken are a sight to behold!
The quality of this griddle is great. Very sturdy, heavy cast iron, Perfect for the grill or inside on the stove, Fish, grilled cheese, steaks were all cooked perfectly. Highly recommend!!
As yet, I have only seasoned the griddle and but I am looking forward to using it.. I love grill lines on my meat and I think cast iron is the best cookware available. I don't have a grill and will use this on a induction cooking plate. It should work well.
Very good griddle, we have used it on the Gas grill about 4 times, and cooks good, and cleans very easy.
Great multi surface. Used probably best with outdoor grilling. Side note: Do NOT use soapy water to clean, just boil water on surface to disinfect and clean and rub vegetable/crisco oil to help prevent rusting on surface. Great buy!
Griddle came very quickly, only a couple of days from order to delivery! Fantastic quality and it works perfectly for my purposes. I am using it on my gas grill to sear meat. This heavy grill retains heat very well and makes for an excellent sear. I bought this for cooking steaks but I also found that burgers sear very well on it and are exceptionally juicy when cooked on this griddle. I would recommend this to anyone.
I cook a lot and often would like to grill or griddle most of the times. Bought several ones before and return them. But this one ended up being a keeper. The griddle is thick enough and cooks perfectly. first couple of uses might get tricky if you was the new product with dish soap before use ( like my friend did), so it comes ready to use and all you have to do before first use is just rinse it. Awesome for pancakes, meats, sandwiches, bacon or anything u want to do on it. my only complaint is the size. As much as it has a large working area it fits oddly on any traditional 4 burner apartment style stove. it would be better if it is 14"x18" instead of 14"x14"
A+++ on product quality. would definitely order again. it is great for grilling outdoors. I cooked eggs and bacon, burgers and steak on outdoor grill.
Arrived very well packed, seasoning was simple (used bacon) and afterward cooked beautifully. Using this on my Weber gas grill and am absouluty a joy to grill on. You will not be disappointed.
I wanted a griddle large enough to make a weeks worth of pancakes. My husband love to grill meat on the grill side. He just can’t get enough grilled meat and vegetables. My only complaint is that the grill takes too long to get hot and heats unevenly. On the whole, I think it’s a good buy.
HATED this griddle! Very rough surface and everything stuck to it even after conditioning (which it supposedly didn't even need). I thought it would be heavy because all cast iron is, but it is extremely unwieldy, VERY heavy, and the handles are not even really handles and you can't even grip them properly. Let my husband take it out to try on the grill, but I will continue to look for a nice indoor griddle!
I gave this to my daughter for Christmas. She loved it. The griddle side was great for French toast she said and they grilled chops later in the week. She said it was nice to have one pan wi5h two functions. Space saver. A hit to be sure.
bought to take camping for cooking on
This is a live saver on the grill. Whether it is steak night or vegetable delight!
Like the skillets it cooks well but there is a lot of maintenance:involved. If you forget and use dish detergent you get rust, which you then have to scrub off and the re-season . Happened to me twice Also this grill is VERY heavy. Don't try lifting with one hand
Have used this all summer on the grill for seafood,many uses for inside as well nice to be able to grill a steak in February. Good Value
