The Lodge Cast Iron 10.5-inch Griddle is a multi-functional cookware that works wonders with all your favorite foods. This griddle is essential for big breakfasts, tortillas, quesadillas, roasted vegetables and grilled sandwiches. Cast iron loves a campfire, a stovetop, or an oven, and can slow-cook foods without scorching. It retains heat well so you can sear meat at higher temperatures and will keep your delicious meals warm for a long time. Whether used in a kitchen or camp, theses virtually indestructible cookware should last for generations. Made of cast iron, this griddle evenly distributes heat from the bottom through the sidewalls. Sporting a stylish black color, the cast iron cookware looks good in most kitchens and it doubles up as an excellent source of nutritional iron. Measures 10.5-inches diameter and .5-inches deep. Cast Iron, like your grandmother used, still ranks as one of the best cooking utensils ever made. It gives you a nearly non-stick surface, without the possible harmful fumes generated by preheating chemically treated nonstick cookware. The American-based company, Lodge, has been fine-tuning its construction of rugged, cast-iron cookware for more than a century.

SEASONING BASICS

Seasoning is simply oil baked into the iron, giving it a natural, easy-release finish.

Lodge pre-seasons all of our cookware with soy vegetable oil and nothing else.

Seasoning is an ongoing process that gets better and better the more you cook.

With some foods, new cookware might require a little extra oil or butter the first few uses.

Acidic foods like tomatoes and some beans should only be cooked once seasoning is well-established.

Dishwashers, metal scouring pads, and harsh detergents are no-no’s, and will harm the seasoning.

LET’S COOK…

All new cookware should be rinsed and dried thoroughly before your first use.

Use any utensils you like, even metal. There is no chemical coating to damage.

Always lift cookware on smooth-top stoves. Sliding anything can scratch the surface.

Be sure to protect your hands, our handles get hot too.

Cast iron performs best when heated and cooled gradually.

Cast iron has superior heat retention and rarely requires a “high” heat setting.

RUST!? DON’T PANIC, IT’S NOT BROKEN

Without protective seasoning, cast iron cookware can discolor or even rust.

It’s easy to fix. Simply scour the affected area with steel wool, rinse, dry, and rub with vegetable oil.

If problems persist, you may have to re-season. Just visit www.lodgemfg.com for instructions.
