Summary: Great cast iron grill
Comment: The unit tranfers heat evenly to the cooking area. We have used the grill and the griddle and they both worked excellent!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great stove top giddle/Or use for broiling!
Comment: I have a cheap gas stove and I always wanted one of those expensive versions. (You know the one's on everyone's TV kitchen) ... This griddle cooks pancakes, french toast, cheese sandwiches and eggs on the smooth side wonderfully. Just kick the burners on high, let it warm up, knock them back to medium until its hot evenly and throw the food on. Don't worry about heating an empty pan, Cast iron can take it. When a water droplet bounces and its not smoking its ready. (Smoking is too hot, duh!)
The other great use is to put it in the oven, turn the broiler/oven on and let it heat up. Then toss on the steaks, ribs, or fish! Yum!
The Lodge seasoning is ok for that first time cooking. You do need to wash off the manufacturing dirt, and a good coat of oil is a good way to start that carbon buildup.
On the down side, the burner grates on my stove instersect with the indented handle slots. There is a slight lip on the pan so that it rests directly on the grate. If you slide the pan down just slightly and to the center of the stove, it sets in just right. But I could see that on not all stoves it would fit as well. The alternative would be to get two of the open cast iron rings that fit on the stove grates and put the griddle on top of them. (These rings are normally designed to aid in holding a small pot over a larger more open gas stove grate) (I got two cast iron grates from the hardware store. I think they were "storm" grates. In an outside fire I burnt the paint off them and now they work fine holding the griddle up off the stove. Also Lodge has a 8" castiron trivet which looks like it should work as well.)
It is heavy, yup. It doesn't fit in my sink very well, but then if you've ever watched the guy at the bar & grill clean his grill, he does it right on the stove. So while the giddle is hot, give it a good scrape with the spatula, and wipe it with a paper towel. You'll get 90% of the food/grease off the pan. Then a quick rinse when it cools down gets the rest. (In the sink put a large sponge under the edge and one behind it to avoid scratching things. Wet it down, soap it up, and let it sit for 5 minutes, come back and give it a scrub and everything will come right off. Some things like burnt on like sweat terraiki sauce require a copper or steel coil wire scrubby. But most things like fish skin, burnt bits of chicken etc, come right off.)
Also if you cook bacon, or other high fat food, it splatters. Since the lip is low, it doesn't catch the grease spatters the way a good fry pan does. More stove cleanup...While it grills ok on the stove top, It's not a replacement for the charcoal cooker. You will need a good vent hood to catch the smoke. (Well yeah)
Also if you plan on using it inside your oven, measure first! Not all ovens are 20" wide inside.
(I have much older cast iron fry pans and everything that's been said about them becoming smooth and non stick is true. Took about 5 years of off and on cooking to do it, and 10 to become perfect. Grandma's pans went to my mother so I had to season my own pans myself. This pan because of the dual sided cooking only took about a month to equal that old fry pan.

Summary: TOO HEAVY, TOO HARD TO CLEAN
Comment: Yes, I read all the reviews about the weight. It's 13 or 15 lbs I believe. I'm strong, that's not the worst issue. Cleaning is a major production. Sink not big enough to soak more than half at a time, seasoned it three times and tried three times to cook simple steak and chicken on it. Food stuck no matter what, even with extra olive oil spray. I returned it and got two smaller teflon type grills for two of my burners and we've been using THEM every day! If this one wasn't so darned messy and expensive, we'd have used it outside on the grill. BUT, someone still would have to clean it and no one wanted to spend an hour each time cleaning it!

Summary: Grill indoors over cast iron
Comment: I really like this product. I cooked kebabs as my first dish on it and my guests were impressed. I am glad I went with the 20" pro-model as I think the smaller would have had trouble spanning both burners of my range. As it is, this grill barely reaches the end of both burners. I am assuming that my burners are widely spaced. As a result there is a little uneven heating skewed towards the ends, but I have been satisfied with the results. It is difficult to clean as is any grill. The pre-seasoning Lodge applies helps a lot with that. Because of the non-stick layer of the seasoning I sometimes don't get the grill lines I am looking for on fish and other meats. Hopefully this will come with time.
I have used the griddle side to fry eggs and warm tortillas, no pancakes yet. It works really well despite the uneven heating; again, I believe my burners are wide.
