Lodge Round Griddle 10.5 Inhes Diam 1/2"Deep (L90G3) - Cast Iron, Black

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.

Star lodge product for the Indian household. Give it anything - rotis, omelette, dosa, pancake, crepe, kababs, cutlets it can handle them all. Doesn't take ages to heat up. Rotis don't burn easily on this. Works on Induction. What else would you need? Only few cons in my opinion. 1)heavier than most tawas 2)handle gets really hot and can be dangerous 3)expensive to the hilt. You could buy 5 to 6 Indian Tawas for that money. Maintenance is the same that we do for all iron Tawas at home. Don't soak. Don't scrub it like crazy to wash. Maintain a decent cleanliness and keep it oiled. Season once in a while. Enjoy good healthy food.

After using for 6 months, I am satisfied with the product. The price can be little bit lower as lot of brand are available. First time using process is very simple and maintenance is very easy. It is very heavy , but be careful to handle it as there is no protection at the handle. The packing is awesome.

This was my first Lodge cast iron cookware. And I have recently picked up many Indian cast Iron cookware which are brilliant as well. But the quality and finish of Lodge products is a cut above the rest. While I am super please with transitioning to cast iron cookware, I am super excited with Lodge products. The price is on the higher side on account of freight and custom charges otherwise even with the exchange rate of USD it's a great value for money had it not been for the additional charges. Remember to be patient to season any cast iron cookware for a lifetime of exciting cooking. If the Lodge company gives special discount on sets and combos I will buy them all. Past. Keep a watch out for discounts and you can get lucky. Bought other Lodge cast iron cookware on special offers. Super cool for making Eggs and Omelettes totally nonstick and slides right off the skillet. Love every minute cooking with this skillet.

Quality is top notch. Browns food very well. Can sear meats like mutton and chicken on it, before cooking them separately. Can also make Uttapams and Dosas flawlessly. One tiny complaint is that, when I add ghee/oil before the sear, they don't stay in the middle of the tawa, and wander off to one side. But that may also be because my stove is slightly tilted.

Horrible ....Dosa was sticking every time

Lodge Cast Iron is very healthy to have. One can roast Chapati as well apart from Dosa. They have done good pre seasoning. Compared to other iron pan lodge iron pan is exemplary. It justifies the price of it. Only one has to maintain the same by regular seasoning by applying oil and rubbing with tissue paper. Incase of stain one can rub lemon with pinch of salt and clean it with water. And then season it with handful of oil and turning the gas on and then rubbing with tissue paper. For better results and to maintain for long run one is supposed to do seasoning with oil for 2/3 times by

The pan I received has some imperfection on the edges (outer surface) on some areas. It looks as though a thin portion has been shaved off - it is not visible from the top though. (Not sure if this is a normal casting issue.) As for the pan itself, whether it is a good investment depends on what you are looking for. The primary reason I went for the Lodge pan is because of its handle. In a space constrained kitchen, it helps in handling/moving the pan quickly if needed when compared to the locally manufactured cast iron dosa pans which all seems to have a small holed protrusion for a handle. (The heavy local pans are superior when it comes to the cooking surface itself as they have a smooth finish. I don't think the pebbly surface of Lodge will ever wear well wnough to match the local pans.) Like other Lodge ware, the cooking surface of the pan is 'pebbly' (uneven). This as such won't be a problem, provided you season the pan well and use it as much as you can. Even a few days of careful use make a lot of difference. (The pre-seasoning is not enough to create a real non stick surface. You can cook on it of course - but it will take some oil initially.). The pan doesn't heat up uniformly - especially over small and medium burners - as is to be expected with cast iron. However, you can move the pan once in a while to counter that issue to some extent. (Once it gets hot, the pan stays hot for a long time.) PS: Please be careful if you have never used pans with non insulated handles (or haven't used one in a long while). There is a good chance of you forgetting that the handles of cast iron pans can get very hot and burning yourself. It takes a while to get used to the pan if you are new to such pans.

Excellent .,!

Like the product very much and also the sales prices… thks

I love all cast iron pans for their versatility, and especially the smaller ones, as they are not too heavy. This one is no exception. Its oval shape is even better than a round one, and it's the main reason for me buying it. I used it to bake bread loaf, grill some fish steaks, or a few veggies. It may be used on the stove or in the oven. It is small enough for my induction unit. Cleaning is easy. I use little mild dish soap especially after a smelly dish, like fish or a steak. Rinse it, and dry it with a paper towel. I either put it in the oven or even on the stove for a few min, for a better drying. Just before the heating I use a small drop of oil and spread it over the pan. The more you use it the better it is. Treat it with respect and it may last for a few generations.

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.

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
