Introduction
A reversible grill/griddle is a cooking appliance that has two sides, one with raised ridges for grilling and one that is flat for griddling. The grill side is typically used for cooking foods like burgers, steaks, and chicken, while the griddle side is often used for cooking eggs, pancakes, and sandwiches. Reversible grill/griddles are convenient because they allow you to switch between grilling and griddling with just the flip of the appliance. They are also versatile, as they can be used on the stovetop or outdoors on a barbecue. Some reversible grill/griddles are even large enough to be used as a tabletop appliance for outdoor cooking.
USE & CARE
Seasoned cast iron
To keep this cookware for one hundred years
- Wash cast iron by hand with mild soap or none at all.
- Dry promptly and thoroughly with a lint-free cloth or paper towel.
- Rub with a very light layer of vegetable oil, preferably while the cookware is still warm. Hang or store cookware in a dry place.
- That’s it! You’ve just preserved your future heirloom.
SEASONING BASICS
Seasoning is simply oil baked into the iron, giving it a natural, easy-release finish. Lodge pre-season 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 for the first few uses. Acidic foods like tomatoes and some beans should only be cooked once the 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.
Your new cookware is right at home on or in any heat source, indoors or out, except the microwave.
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.
DO YOU HAVE A LODGE LID?
- Glass lids are oven safe up to 400° F. They can go in the dishwasher, but not in the microwave.
- Iron lids feature either self-basting tips or concentric rings that keep your food from drying out.
- All iron lids should be cared for like the iron piece that they cover.
- When storing lids, place a paper towel between them and the pot to prevent moisture build-up.
DID YOU PURCHASE A REVERSIBLE GRIDDLE?
If yours is for 2 burners, heat both ends evenly (may not perform on induction tops).
All reversible griddles perform best when heated gradually.

Frequently Asked Questions
The best way to clean cast iron is to use a stiff brush and hot water. If you have stuck-on food, you can soak the pan in hot water for a few minutes, then scrub with a brush. If the pan has cooled, reheat it before scrubbing. Do not use soap, as it will take away from the seasoning. Dry thoroughly and rub with a very light layer of vegetable oil.
To season your cookware, wash it thoroughly with hot water and mild soap, then dry it completely. Rub a thin layer of vegetable oil all over the surface of the cookware, including the handle. Place the cookware upside down on a baking sheet in an oven heated to 350°F for one hour. Turn off the oven and let it cool completely in the oven. After cooling, wipe off any excess oil with paper towels or a lint-free cloth. Your cast iron is now ready for cooking!
If your cast iron cookware rusts, it’s because moisture has gotten inside and formed a chemical reaction with the metal. To remove rust from your cast iron pan or skillet, fill it with enough cold water to cover the bottom. Add 1/2 cup white vinegar and bring to a boil over medium heat (do not use high heat). Boil for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and let stand for 20 minutes. Drain water from pan and rinse well with hot water to remove all traces of vinegar. Dry thoroughly before using again.
If you have enameled cast iron pots or pans that are discolored or rusty looking, you can restore their original appearance by soaking them in warm water mixed with 1/2 cup white vinegar overnight (or longer if needed). Scrub them gently with a nylon brush while they are soaking, then rinse well and dry completely before using again. You may need to repeat this process several times before your pots look like new again!
Very well done. Make sure not to slide your electric stove over the stovetop if it has a glass top since you may scratch the glass.
I can confirm that the model of Samsung induction cooktop DOES heat uniformly and consistently when the ridges are facing down. With a family member’s thermidor, it DOES NOT WORK. Consequently, it depends on your induction cooktop.
Yes, both gas and electric can be utilised with it. The silicone pot holders I use to move it make the heat manageable and are thin enough to fit under the handles because the corners get so hot. Due to the low burner profile and little depression of the griddle side when used grill side up, this almost touches the top of my electric stove.
I compared it to my existing griddle and found that it is noticeably shorter and thinner. With minimal room for movement, it might fit over the Burnetts. I’d check the size of your stove.
This will function on any stove. Just be careful because the weight could damage the cast iron’s surface or cause it to break. if there were a problem, I’m sure Amazon will fix it. Otherwise, you’ve received good service.
Yes! It’s fantastic! You won’t get a good sear on the meat if you don’t first warm it on HIGH for some time. I believe that modern glass cooktops are made of “gorilla glass,” which makes them resistant to almost everything.
