Lodge Chef Collection Cast Iron Square Griddle

Yes, the griddle arrives pre-seasoned with 100% natural vegetable oil. You can start cooking with it immediately, though the nonstick performance will continue to improve as you build up more layers of seasoning over time.

Absolutely. Because it is made of cast iron, this griddle is fully compatible with induction stovetops, as well as gas, electric, glass-top ranges, ovens, grills, and even open campfires.

Hand wash the griddle with warm water and a stiff brush. Avoid using the dishwasher, as it can strip the seasoning, and always dry it thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil before storing to prevent rust.

The integrated dual handles are designed for easy lifting, but they are made of cast iron and will get hot along with the rest of the pan. You should always use heat-resistant oven mitts or handle covers when moving the griddle.

No. The nonstick surface is created entirely through the natural seasoning process using vegetable oil. It is completely free of PFAS and other synthetic chemicals.

This griddle features a flat, open design without drainage channels or high walls. It is best suited for searing meats, pancakes, or vegetables rather than dishes that produce a significant amount of grease or liquid.
