Chef's Design 19-Inch Double Burner Griddle Review

The first time I used this griddle was the first time I've successfully turned out huge, perfectly browned pancakes that did not stick to the pan.One coat of Pam (recommended by the manual) glided me through a full batch of cakes.You can't use high heat with this griddle, and it takes about 10 minutes to heat up on medium.Next time I'll plan ahead so I won't be impatiently waiting around, flicking water at it every 30 seconds.Clean up was a breeze.Highly recommended!

This griddle is large, but light weight. It cooks evenly and browns well. Clean-up is a breeze--just soap and water. Design is outstanding. Have purchased other double burner griddles and they didn't fit my stove because the handles were in the way. The handles on this griddle are molded, low profile and don't get in the way. The defrost feature is great. I start the defrost in my microwave and finsh on the griddle. No cooked spots on the meat and the defrost time is incredibly short. Great product.

Works great and was a great deal (about $13 w/free shipping).The only minor complaint is it is a little small - a 14x14 would be better.

Hamilton Beach 80200 Flat Bread MealMaker Bread Press and Skillet Review

I'm glad I bought this flatbread maker.My family enjoys the tortillas and other wraps that I make.The flatbreads come out beautifully shaped, and they release easily from the press with a flick of the wrist.The tortillas and the wraps made from refrigerated biscuit dough (the kind that comes in a can) were especially good.I was a little disappointed with the pitas, since they were tough and didn't brown very well on the top griddle.I was happier with the results when I browned the pitas on my stovetop griddle.My guess is that the griddle on the flatbread maker just doesn't get hot enough.

Lodge Logic L8SGP3 Pre-Seasoned Square Grill Pan Review

Lodge Logic L8SGP3 Pre-Seasoned Square Grill Pan
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It's cast iron, so you can run this pan as hot as you dare to sear the flavor in. Makes excellent burgers and brats, with nice grill marks but no burned spots, even when well-done. Try that with a George Foreman and your burger will be black outside and dryer than the Mojave Desert inside.
The square pan provides plenty of room to fry up a few burgers and the hot juices in the bottom are made-to-order for sauteeing a few mushrooms, onions, or peppers to go on top. The handle is fatter than older Lodge designs and quite ergonomic as long as you're wearing an oven mitt. Cleans nicely by boiling a little water in the pan and giving it a quick scrub with a stiff round natural-bristle vegetable brush and the hottest water that'll come out of the tap.
I would recommend this pan over the 11.5" one Lodge also offers because the thicker bottom, smaller sides, and deeper walls of the 10.5" pan provide fairly even heat over the entire grill surface.It appears that the 11.5" pan is based on the griddle of the same size, and my 11.5" griddle is hot near the center and cooler near the edges when used on a burner - OK for hash browns, but bad for burgers, grilled cheese, and such.
Excellent product; if you can't grill outside, this pan is the next best thing!

Product Description:
Pre seasoned and ready to use, this square cast-iron grill pan provides an array of convenient features. The pan's ribbed bottom keeps food up and away from grease for low-fat cooking, while at the same time making tasty-looking stripes across grilled favorites. To avoid what some consider the mysterious or time-consuming process of "seasoning" cast iron pans, Lodge makes the benefits of cast iron effortless. After evenly coating all surfaces with an electrostatic spray of vegetable oil, the cookware is put into an extremely high-temperature industrial oven, which bakes the coating into the surface. The result is a better-looking and better-performing pan than if it was seasoned at home. A hole in the pan's sturdy handle allows for hanging the item when not in use. The square grill pan measures 10-1/2 by 10-1/2 by 1-3/4 inches and carries a lifetime warranty.

Lodge Logic LPG13 Pro 20-by-10-7/16-Inch Cast-Iron Grill/Griddle Review

Lodge Logic LPG13 Pro 20-by-10-7/16 inch Cast-Iron Grill/Griddle
Average Reviews:

I absolutely adore this griddle, and I use it almost every day.

At first, I wasn't sure that I wanted a cast iron griddle.They are HEAVY and not dishwasher safe . . . so I tried a few nonstick brands first --top dollar brands with high ratings.

I hated them.The nonstick surface was inferior.On a reversible griddle, the underside became sticky and difficult to clean.The heat was distributed unevenly.One claimed to be dishwasher safe, yet when I put it in the dishwasher, some of the nonstick surface came off.

I am extremely health conscious, and I use very little oil when I cook.Food often stuck to the "non-stick" surface -- go figure.

I wanted to find a great griddle that I could use for many things, including cooking like the chefs in Japanese Steak Houses -- I dreamed of using a small dash of my favorite oil and flinging shrimp, chicken and veggies on the griddle like a pro.No, I didn't think I could toss my tools in the air or catch the shrimp in my pocket . . . I just wanted the flavor and the ease of cooking.

By this time, I was on a quest, and the non-stick stuff just wasn't cutting it.I did a little research, and I learned that pros recommend the Lodge griddle, so despite my apprehension, I thought I'd give it a try.

Wow!The pre-seasoned surface is perfect and better than any non-stick surface I have ever used.Just a tiny bit of non-stick spray is all I need, and everything from pancakes to eggs flip with ease.Grilling Japanese style works perfectly.

On the grill side: whole steaks, chicken, fish -- fabulous, fast, and everything has those beautiful grill lines.Nice for grilled vegetables, too.

The griddle is indeed heavy, but it's okay.I wouldn't recommend lifting it if you have serious muscle or joint problems, and I wouldn't want to drop it on my foot, but otherwise, go for it.I'm a softie, and if I can handle it, so can you.

As for not being able to put the griddle in the dishwasher:I don't believe I'm going to say this, but I don't care about having to handwash it.The griddle cleans so easily, a few swipes and I'm done.If I forget to clean it and wake up to it the next morning (okay, so I'm not Suzy Homemaker), I just lay it straight across the top of my sink -- not IN the sink, but rather, balanced from edge to edge, on top . . . and I run a little water over it, let it set for a few minutes, and it'seasy to clean.

A word of advice:Just as it says in the instructions, you need to clean the griddle without soap (water only) to preserve the pre-seasoned finish.However, should you want to use soap, you can.There are instructions included in how to re-season the griddle -- it's easy.

I frankly didn't like the idea of not cleaning with soap.I didn't feel as though the germs were destroyed . . . but soap doesn't really kill germs, it merely works as a surfactant that makes water wetter so things become easier to clean.

If you want to kill germs, heat is one of the best ways to do it.Every time you use the griddle, you preheat it on the range for about five minutes or so -- you're killing far more germs than if you had used soap!

You can also rub your griddle with a very light coating of oil, stick it in a hot oven and disinfect it that way (this is also similar to how you reseason it).

This is one of the easiest, most wonderful kitchen tools I own.It is a breeze to use, I feel like a pro flipping all that food around.Everything comes out great, and it is very easy to use, and food does not stick.

I have since added six more pieces of cast iron to my collection, one triangle cornbread/scone, a round muffin/biscuit, and four cast iron skillets.Two of the skillets are antique -- talk about well-seasoned! I do not use the bread/muffin bakers as much as I thought I would, but I use the skillets almost every day.I love them.

PS:I remember reading somewhere that using cast iron also adds iron to your diet.A nice extra, yes?

I'm a lousy cook and I love pancakes.I've always had to go to a restaurant to get a decent pankcake because I never figured out how to make them right.

But when I got this Griddle I started turning out perfect pancakes every time! There must be something about iron.I've never had any iron cookware before.And the size is just small enough so it's not too heavy, but the flatness allows me to make a "short stack" of pancakes all at once.

This is the most joy that $12.00 has brough into my life in a long time.And, I'll save a ton of money over the rest of my life not going to restaurants to get pancakes!!

Product Description:
A useful addition to any busy kitchen, this cast-iron griddle pan features a smooth, round cooking surface, which measures 10-1/2 inches in diameter (pan measures 15 by 10-1/2 by 1/2 inches overall), and its slightly raised peripheral edge keeps oil, batter, and other ingredients neatly contained. Breakfast in particular somehow tastes extra hearty when cooked in a cast-iron pan. Use the heavy pan for anything from pancakes, hash browns, or omelets on a Saturday morning to grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch or dessert crepes to serve to guests after dinner. Cast iron loves a campfire, a stovetop, or an oven, and can slow-cook foods without scorching and sear meat at higher temperatures.
The American-based company Lodge has been fine-tuning its construction of rugged, cast-iron cookware for more than a century. No other metal is as long-lasting and works as well for spreading and retaining heat evenly during cooking. Lodge's Logic line of cookware comes factory pre-seasoned with the company's vegetable-oil formula, and is ready to use right out of the box. Even though the pan comes pre-seasoned, applying a little vegetable oil before use helps prevent food from sticking. After cooking, simply scrub the cast iron with a stiff brush and hot water, no soap, and dry immediately. Its looped handle helps ensure easy transport and comes with a hole in the end for convenient hanging storage. Whether used in a kitchen or camp, this virtually indestructible griddle pan should last for generations and carries a lifetime warranty.
