A rectangular Lodge cast iron griddle, reversible: a flat side for eggs, bacon or smash burgers, and a ridged side to mark vegetables and proteins. It comes factory pre-seasoned and shrugs off the brutal heat of a kamado.
Cast iron is the king of searing: it holds a huge amount of heat and releases it slowly, so the crust on a ribeye or smash burger comes out perfect. This Lodge griddle does two cooks in one piece — flat side and ridged side — and being rectangular it sits on the kamado grate or straight on a home hob. Factory pre-seasoned, ready to use; with basic care it lasts decades. It's the most versatile cast iron accessory for the money.
A reversible cast iron griddle that does it all: sear, griddle and grill marks. Pre-seasoned, near-indestructible and the best value Lodge makes.

Who it's for
For any kamado or home cook who wants one versatile cast iron piece for searing, breakfast griddle and grill marks.
Not for
If you mind the weight of cast iron or the seasoning upkeep, it's not for you. And its rectangular shape leaves gaps on small round grates.

FAQ
Which side of the Lodge griddle do I use for what?
It is reversible: the smooth side (griddle) is for eggs, bacon, pancakes or thin vegetables, and the ribbed side (grill) leaves sear marks and drains fat from meat and chops. It measures 42×24 cm, so it covers a good part of a large kamado grate. Just flip it depending on what you cook.
Does it come pre-seasoned or do I have to season it?
Lodge ships it pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, ready to use straight out of the box. Even so, it helps to build that layer with use and wipe on a thin coat of oil after each wash so the natural non-stick keeps improving. The more you use it, the better it behaves.
Can I wash it with soap or will it ruin the seasoning?
A little mild soap occasionally will not destroy a well-built seasoning, but the ideal routine is hot water, a brush and immediate drying over heat so it does not rust. Never the dishwasher and never left to soak. After drying, a drop of oil and it is ready to store; with a Rapicca-type glove you handle it hot safely.
