Recently ordered this griddle because I had great memories of my grandma making pancakes on hers, which of course, were made from scratch. Also, nothing else out there can compare with cast iron. I was so happy to see that it was already pre-seasoned and had a beautiful, smooth surface. Of course, I had pancakes the very next morning (not like grandma's pinch of this and just- so of that). It performed beautifully with not a hint of sticking. Thank you Lodge and Lehman's for providing such a great product.

Now I can make foods that taste like my Grandma made years ago, she always made the best eggs and burgers, now I know her secret after I went back to the Lodge skillet, it heats evenly and works wonderfully.

I got one of these years ago when Lodge still had the 'polished' pans. Since it is so shallow it is ideal for frying eggs (easy to get the spatula in for flipping) and better than any non-stick pan I've ever seen. Of the 7 pieces of Lodge that I own, this is my favourite. My particular pan is extremely flat and works just fine on my smooth top and apparently should work on the induction stove I have ordered.

...makes the best grilled sandwiches, my daughter and son-in-law, in Maine use nothing else!!
