The Best Cast Iron Griddles
A cast iron griddle produces pancakes, bacon, eggs, tortillas, and flatbreads at a consistent heat that no thin aluminum griddle can approach. The thermal mass of cast iron maintains temperature through multiple batches without recovery time. These are the griddles worth having.

How to Choose
For stove top use: a single-burner flat griddle (10 to 12 inches) fits standard burners; a two-burner reversible griddle (10 x 18 to 10 x 20 inches) spans two burners and has a flat side and a ridged grill side. The reversible format is more versatile. For camp use: the same reversible griddle works over any fire grate.

One piece for every flat and grilled surface cooking task. The most useful kitchen griddle made.

The standard single-burner cast iron griddle at 10.5 inches -- the correct size for a single household burner. Flat on both sides, with two handles for lifting. Makes perfect tortillas, pancakes, and crepes. The thermal mass means the surface does not cool significantly when cold batter hits it, which produces consistent results across an entire batch.
For the kitchen with one burner or the camp cook who needs a single flat surface.
