Read on for a complete owner's view of the cast iron griddle: heating, cooking, cleaning without fear, and honest guidance on whether it fits your cooking style.Pair it with a 5-Blade Herb Scissors and your searing station is fully equipped.
Why a Cast Iron Griddle Earns Its Stovetop Space
The included press multiplies what the griddle can do. A cast iron griddle with a smash press handles burgers, paninis, bacon, and anything benefiting from firm, even contact, pressing food into the hot surface for maximum crust.
Cast iron also lasts essentially forever. A cast iron griddle does not warp, its cooking surface improves with seasoning over years, and there is no coating to degrade. With basic care it becomes an heirloom rather than an appliance.A handy companion is a Silicone Kitchen Tongs Set for the prep before food hits the griddle.
The core advantage of a this iron griddle is heat retention. The heavy iron soaks up burner heat and holds it, so when cold food hits the surface the temperature barely dips. That stability is what creates deep, even browning instead of gray steaming.

- For smash burgers on the this iron griddle, place loosely packed beef balls on the hot surface and press firmly with the press for ten seconds. Season after pressing, not before.
