Lodge Carbon Steel Griddle — 18 x 10 in Pre-Seasoned Flat Top, Fast-Heating & Lightweight

This Lodge Seasoned Carbon Steel Griddle combines a broad, flat cooking surface with a lighter feel than traditional cast iron, so you get dependable heat and easier handling. It arrives factory-seasoned with 100% vegetable oil, creating an initial nonstick layer that improves each time you cook. Built to work on gas cooktops, ovens, grills, and open-fire setups, this griddle is designed to simplify everything from weekday breakfasts to large, shared meals.

How does this griddle perform for everyday cooking?

The carbon steel construction heats quickly and reacts responsively to temperature changes, making it simple to go from a gentle warm to a fast sear. Its flat design gives consistent contact with food for even browning and simple flipping of pancakes, eggs, and sandwiches. Over time the seasoned surface becomes more naturally nonstick as oils polymerize with use.

• Fast heat-up and responsive temperature control
• Even contact for uniform browning and searing
• Seasoned surface improves with repeated use

Will it handle cooking on different heat sources?

This Lodge griddle was made for flexibility: it performs on gas ranges, inside ovens, on backyard grills, and even over campfire setups when used carefully. The solid carbon steel tolerates direct flame and high oven temperatures while distributing heat efficiently across the 18 x 10-inch surface. Dual handles make it safer and easier to transfer between heat sources.

• Compatible with gas stovetops, ovens, grills, and open-fire cooking
• Dual side handles for secure lifting and movement
• Durable metal construction for high-heat use

How do I care for and maintain the seasoned surface?

After use, wipe or rinse while the griddle is warm and dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. Reapply a thin layer of cooking oil after drying and heat briefly to reinforce the seasoning. Avoid harsh detergents and extended soaking; regular seasoning upkeep keeps the surface slick and durable.

• Wipe clean or rinse warm water; dry completely to avoid rust
• Apply a thin coat of oil and heat to maintain seasoning
• Avoid abrasive cleaners and long soaking

What size and cooking capacity can I expect from the 18 x 10-inch surface?

The 18 x 10-inch footprint provides ample room for preparing multiple servings at once—think several pancakes, a full breakfast for two to four people, or a batch of grilled sandwiches. Its rectangular shape maximizes usable area on stovetop burners and grill grates while still fitting in most ovens. The lighter carbon steel body makes it easier to maneuver than heavier cast-iron flats of similar area.

• Generous flat area for family-style breakfasts and group meals
• Rectangular shape optimizes stovetop and grill space
• Lighter than comparable cast iron for easier handling

This griddle is ideal for cooks who want a versatile, quick-heating flat top without the weight of cast iron. It suits home chefs who prepare breakfast classics, seared vegetables, sandwiches, or multi-portion meals and those who like to move cookware between stove, oven, and outdoor grills. Built by Lodge in the USA and pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, it’s a practical addition for anyone seeking durable, long-lasting cookware that improves with use.
