Lodge L9OG3 Forged Iron Spherical Griddle, Pre-Seasoned, 10.5-inch

More long-term reliability and fun than non-stick and better for the environment.
When the ceramic coating started chipping off my waffle maker, I was not happy. The only cookware I have that is long lasting is cast iron. But I can’t find a castiron waffle maker from a source I trust buying.I decided to start making crepes because I don’t like the soggy floppiness of pancakes. But the non-stick electric crepe maker made me uncomfortable each time I took it out of the cupboard. I wanted to feel at ease with all my cookware, not just my cast iron, but that seemed very unlikely for making waffles.I immediately washed the griddle with soap and water, rinsed thoroughly, and seasoned a couple times in my oven.Before this griddle arrived, I researched a few recipes in preparation. So I made crepes for several days. Not a single crepe burned or stuck to the griddle. Every crepe slid off easily onto a waiting rack.I have never made crepes on a griddle or skillet but it was easier than using the electric crepe maker. And I didn’t have to shuffle zen garden tools around my small work area.Making crepes wasn’t my only interest for this new griddle. I have other Lodge cast iron, 12 at the time of this review. They are of a solid build and versatile.Making crepes is just doing the same thing, same batter, same heat setting, same spatula again and again. You learn a lot more about your cooking abilities with using cast iron when you make different food.No one wants leftover fried chicken or pizza that is soggy. Using this griddle as a sheet pan in the oven is perfect for reheating leftovers. Bits of cheese didn’t stick when making grilled cheese. Peppers and onions can be sauteed quickly. Homemade bread rolls, biscuits, and dough wrapped sausages bake with an even crust color.Using cast iron, you owe it to yourself to do some experimenting. Use stainless steel spatulas with your cast iron? Yes! If you are really heavy handed you might get a scratch or two. But repeatedly seasoning your griddle makes it so it’s practically self-healing. Keep using the cast iron and those scratches disappear more quickly than you can guess – as you season. I cut food while still on the griddle regularly and I can’t see a single scratch.You can use a mild soap when cleaning the griddle. I usually only use soap before the first use. I have not had food stick to the point where I have to soak it in water. Run water, use a brush or scraper, and a little coarse if needed. Cleaning is done in about a minute, then dry and season. For me, doesn’t matter if it’s as soon as the griddle has cooled, or the next day. That’s not heavy maintenance at all. Any one tells you cast iron is too much time and work to maintain is just lazy or not well informed.The first Lodge cast iron I purchased for myself was a 12″ skillet and with each new Lodge, I am more than satisfied with the performance and excited to explore new recipes and make old recipes more fun. Yesterday I made giant 10 inch cookies with this griddle. Rumors that sugar ruins cast iron seasoning are false. I make cookies, brownies, cobblers, hand pies, cheesecakes, pound cakes, scones, etc. often because I have a passion for baking. My giant cookies released from the griddle after using an angled spatula in one spot. Cookie nearly popped up like a jack-in-the-box. Again, success and easy cleanup, much better than my old non-stick cookie sheets ever did.Am I pleased with this griddle? Yes, absolutely! Would I recommend it for crepes, pancakes, reheating food, making giant cookies? Yes, certainly! I know this griddle is a Lodge and as always reliable cast iron. I also know that I am looking forward to learning to make the most of it and learn to make food I have not tried, like dosa, corn tortillas and whatever recipes others want to share.

No se pega, se lava rápido, se calienta rápido,Ni se oxida , perfecto para asar

Great pan for making crepes and any other things that fit in it. Cast iron finish is smooth. Only downside is you have to clean it afterwards, burn it until all moisture evaporates and apply oil seasoning to keep it rust free and that takes some time (no dishwashers etc).
