Lodge Cast Iron Grill Topper

Yes, it is designed for use on both gas and charcoal grills. Because it is made of heavy-duty cast iron, it handles high heat exceptionally well, making it perfect for searing vegetables, seafood, and smaller cuts of meat.

Yes, it arrives seasoned with 100% natural vegetable oil. This creates a non-stick surface that improves with every use, though it will still require regular maintenance and re-seasoning over time to keep it in top condition.

No, this grill topper is not dishwasher safe. Like all traditional cast iron cookware, it should be hand-washed with warm water and a stiff brush, dried immediately, and lightly oiled to prevent rust.

While the seasoning helps, cast iron is not a synthetic non-stick surface. We recommend lightly oiling your food or the topper before cooking to ensure the best release, especially with delicate items like fish or marinated vegetables.

For stubborn residue, you can use a chainmail scrubber or a plastic scraper while the topper is still warm. Avoid soaking it in water or using harsh detergents, as these can strip the seasoning you have worked to build.

It weighs 6.68 pounds, which is substantial enough to provide excellent heat retention and stability on the grill grates. You will need to use sturdy grill gloves or mitts when moving it, as the entire piece, including the handles, will get very hot.
