Lodge Cast Iron Griddle And Hot Handle Holder, 10.5", Black/Red

Product: The product (CI griddle) quality is amazing and robust. It is made of cast iron and very heavy in material. No joints make it much stronger. It was easy to use on electric stove and most ideal for Dosa preparation. the griddle gets no time to get hot and prepares dosa instantly. It is made in USA and the quality is great. Must buy for indoor and outdoor cooking purpose. Delivery and Packaging: The product was shipped by Amazon.ae. I purchased the product yesterday (4 PM) evening and I received it today morning (9 AM). Super fast prime service. The product did not have any brand packaging though, it came in a very protective bubble wrap and carton box. Thank you Amazon.ae

After a thorough research, we purchased this dosa pan. However, we were so disappointed for the first time when we used it. Dosas were sticking one after another and not a single dosa was successful despite pouring oil on to the pan, lost all the hopes. We didn’t use it for more than a week or two, thinking that we should go for a different pan. To our surprise, when we used it for the 2nd time, dosas started coming up so clean and perfectly, just like hotel dosas. Fully enjoying it. Must have for South Indians. I would prefer a bigger pan though as it is too small to put a family dosa.

Recently purchased the Lodge pre-seasoned Cast griddle iron round pan 10.5 inch. Was very excited when Amazon delivered the product to me. The pan looks very nice and strong. When you pick it up, you realize it is very heavy, as it should be. I wanted to try it out at the earliest, so for breakfast I greased the pan with some clarified butter and fried an egg. The egg base did get stuck on the pan, will have to research some more on how to use the pan. Despite this, the egg had cooked beautifully and had a very unique taste which we don’t get from the usual non-stick Teflon pans. The pan is really flat, the clarified butter did not run on to any sides as happens with my other pans. And the heating is very even across the pan and I noticed that the heat retention is for a long period after the heat was switched off. Remember not to touch the handle without protection – it is as hot as the cooking surface. Overall am very happy with this purchase. The weekend looks set for making some pancakes.

It is a great product which i use for making dosas. Fantastic build quality. However the handle is not heat protected, so will need to be careful when using. Wonder why they have it? Not useful for those not used to wearing gloves.

It is rusted right from 1st wash and cannot even make dosas on them. Very heavy and does not serve the purpose.

Product is as described, good finishing

the OG of cast iron pans. While it is mentioned as pre-seasoned, it will take a few rounds of seasoning to get it working, don't get frustrated. When it does, it is as good as a non stick. I use it for crisp, restaurant style dosas, adai, pancakes and street style bread omlette. Throw out your non-stick and get this bad boy for your kitchen. Its heavy and needs a little bit of extra care, but very very well worth it. I liked it so much, bought one more which i use only for roti and chapathis

Made in China. i received a slightly edge chipped product that had an attempted repair done on it. So put it up for return as soon as i received it. Not sue if its an original or fake product. My understanding is that all Lodge products are made in USA.

This is a heavy, versatile griddle. Cooks eggs, pizza, anything you put on it. And if you are camping and a stranger with less-than-pure intent happens to come along, it has, um, "other" handy uses as well. Get well soon, Carl.

One of my best purchases ever. Have been using this for years and it hasn't failed me. Make sure to not use soap to wash it. Only scrub and plain water.

Pues no hay mucho que decir, todos los productos Lodge me han resultado muy buenos, ésta plancha me ha funcionado muy bien para hacer huevos estrellados y carnes a la plancha. El secreto de estos productos es lavarlos antes de que se enfríen por completo con agua caliente y un cepillito para eliminar cualquier residuo (yo no uso jabón). Muy importante secarlo y volver a ponerlo en la flama para eliminar cualquier resto de humedad y todavía caliente, aceitar otra vez con una capa muy fina, esto para preservar la cubierta natural antiadherente que se les va formando. Estos sártenes son fabulosos porque entre más los uses, mejor funcionan. No es muy recomendable usarlos al principio con alimentos muy ácidos como tomate verde ó rojo ó algunos chiles porque te quedarías sin cubierta antiadherente al primer uso (aunque hay muchos tutoriales para arreglar esto). En general muy buenos todos estos sártenes y es fantástico que funcionan en flama directa, carbón, leña, inducción, eléctrica, etc. Son todo-terreno.

Long ago, I tried a cast iron dosa tawa of different brand which is not pre seasoned. It was hectic and smelled cast iron when making dosa. Just today I got my lodge iron griddle. Worth buying. Just washed with soap water and wiped it. Added few drops of oil liberally and fried some onions in it. Again wiped and added oil again which helped it well seasoned. First dosa was sticky. After that, I wipe it with oil and spread it with half cut big onion using fork. Works better than non stick. All dosas are super tasty like hotel once’s. We have to add bit extra oil while cooking for first few times. Worth buying. Go for it. 👌🏻👌🏻👍

It is very good but after cleaning in water immediately we have to dry with cloth and put oil to it otherwise it get rusted soon.
