Lodge Chef Collection Reversible Grill/Griddle

Yes, this cast iron griddle is fully compatible with induction cooktops. Because it is made of magnetic cast iron, it will heat evenly and efficiently on induction surfaces.

No, it comes pre-seasoned with 100% natural vegetable oil, so it is ready to use right out of the box. You can begin cooking immediately, though the seasoning will continue to improve and become more non-stick with regular use.

No, this piece is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning and prevent rust, you should hand wash it with warm water and a mild soap, then dry it thoroughly and lightly oil it before storing.

The Chef Collection features larger, more comfortable handles designed for better leverage and control. This makes it significantly easier to maneuver the heavy cast iron, especially when flipping the griddle or moving it from the stovetop to the oven.

No, this model does not feature a grease drainage channel. It is designed with a flat, spatula-friendly surface on both sides, which is great for searing and griddling but means you will need to manage excess fat manually while cooking.

Absolutely. The durable cast iron construction is built to withstand high heat, making it an excellent choice for campfires, charcoal grills, or gas grills. Just be mindful that the handles will get extremely hot, so always use heat-resistant gloves.
