🍳 Lodge Reversible Grill/Griddle: Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Tray, 20" x 10.5" - With Handles for Versatility Review

Cooking with cast iron is always a pleasure. So happy to receive this. I've had several in the past. BUT. It banged. Seriously, it ripped while making pancakes. Used no more than a dozen times.

Bought as a gift for my husband. The first time we used it, we put it on the stove with some heat to warm it up. CRACK! It looked like a shot. I was afraid we broke the glass top, but the pan itself broke on the rim. We called Lodge and the lady said it happens from time to time; she would email us the form. We never received it and have been trying to contact the lodge again ever since. I even filed a claim online and sent them pictures of the crack but no response. It's a shame because we…

If you have a 5 burner stove like the Samsung NX58 series, about 3 inch pan on either end is not hot enough. 5 minutes to warm up. The best I could get was 330 degrees Fahrenheit in the center and 270 degrees Fahrenheit in the corners in the midrange.

I like most of the Lodge products that I own. This is no exception. I bought most of them through Revain due to the competitive prices and wide selection.

I was having a hard time deciding which pan to buy so I bought this one and ended up buying a smaller one at my local Big Box store with credit. Anyway, I had a hard time deciding and looked at the lodge website as they have detailed…

Here's the thing. Anyone who rusts should take a little time to familiarize themselves with the care of cast iron. There is no defective cast iron that causes rust, only improper cleaning and baking methods. ALL cast iron will rust if not handled properly so ignore these reviews. Also, for those who complain of uneven heating, there are two things to keep in mind. First, two burners are slightly less efficient at achieving heat than a central, dedicated pan burner. We have just received a new…

A good cast iron skillet is an essential tool in any culinary arsenal. The Lodge LPGI3 reversible frying pan meets all requirements perfectly. It is currently located above the two gas burners on my stove (see photo). My burners are 17.5" in diameter and fit nicely in a 20" pan. It has become my favorite dish. It's large enough to sear multiple steaks at once and gives them a nice fragrant crust. Eggs, pancakes, french toast, grilled cheese, bacon, stir fries, salmon, literally anything I added
