NutriChef Cast Iron Reversible Griddle 18x10 Inch – Pre-Seasoned Flat Top & Ridged Grill Side, Stove Top Griddle for Gas Grill, Outdoor & Indoor Cooking

Much heavier than expected but that's a good thing, it's noticeably sturdy. Also, it comes with a nice tiny pair of gloves to grab it while hot. It's a very nice surprise.

I started by seasoning it twice in the kitchen oven which seemed to be a rather simple process using grapeseed oil. I've only used the grill plate once for burgers and it worked perfectly. Started our outdoor gas grill with the cast iron griddle in place to get things nice and hot. After a warm-up of about 15 minutes, I put the burgers on the cast iron and smashed them with a wide spatula. After flipping and when they were nearly done I added the cheese. Keeping the grill cover closed held in the heat and melted the cheese perfectly. Clean up was a breeze with a couple of paper towels and then a quick rinse in the kitchen sink. This was much better than worrying about the burgers coming apart on the open grill and having the grease flame up to burn the meat. So far I like this a lot.

I chose this griddle after reviewing many other options. It’s good quality, heavy as expected for a cast iron. Unfortunately had to return because it was too heavy for my 1 burner outdoor grill. I had to rate 4 stars because I didn’t get a chance to use and can’t comment on ease of cleaning or heat distribution. I would purchase again if needed.

I purchased a griddle like this one from another company only it was a stone enamel cast aluminum pan. I keep it because it was cheap and used it until the enamel chipped but it was advertised as cast iron. So most importantly this is real cast iron and it needs to be treated as such.Do wash it after you receive it and do season it yourself. I usually season my cast iron with different vegetable oils. I think I get a better varnish with a variety. I used grape seed as the first coat, then sunflower oil cause I had it, then grape seed again because I got confused as the bottle looked like my olive oil, which I used on the fourth coat. After that always give your cast iron a light coat of oil for whatever fits your dish that you're about to cook.I've cooked hamburgers on the grill side. It's been raining a lot so I didn't want to go outside. The grill worked like a charm. I used canola oil on a paper towel and brushed it on thin. While the hamburger might have not have stuck anyway because of it's fat content, I mixed in onions and other fillers that might have stuck before the fat could render out of the meat.On the griddle side I made pancakes, hash browns, eggs, and nothing stuck because I gave a light oil. So far my seasoning isn't glass smooth yet and I ripped my egg yokes trying to do over easy. I'll just have to use it more.It came with two silicone finger mittens.

Exactly what I ordered I have to cure it and then I'll let you know more

First, what we liked was that this was easy to clean and fit perfectly on top of our induction stove top. We liked that it worked on both sides, the flat side for frying eggs, hash browns and fish, and the grill side for cooking steak, bacon and veggies.However, about 2 months into using it, we were cooking lamb chops on it, when it suddenly made a loud popping noise. About a minute later, it made a second popping noise, and seemed to jump about a centimeter off the stove top. Immediately, smoke started to cover the stove top and we noticed that grease from the lamb was now leaking onto the stove top. When trying to move the plate, we then noticed that it had completely split in half. Somehow, the heat of the lamb grease was too much for the grill plate and caused it to split.Because this had worked so well beforehand, and the cost is reasonable, we have considered trying another one. However, because of the split, and the concern that it could have damaged our induction stove top by cracking and jumping, we have held off.UPDATE: We have since purchased 2 more of these hoping that maybe cooking with a lower heat would solve the problem, because this is the only griddle we could find that would fit and work on our induction stove top. However, both griddle plates cracked in half exactly the same way on 6/10 heat. On one we were cooking turkey burgers and on the other bacon. Each time, it was after around 2 months of use. These look great, but they are poorly made are NOT built to last more than few months before completely cracking in half.

I cook for a living in the past and it well worth the product

This is my everyday work horse. I get so much more use out of this than I ever thought I would. It took a little while to get a decent seasoning on it, but now that it is well-seasoned, it is my go-to for cooking breakfast in the morning. I can cook my eggs, bacon, and heat up my bagel all on this one griddle. Therefore, only one item to wash. I do feel like the "bottom" side, which for me is the grated side, is getting a bit messed up from the direct fire of my gas stove. But for me, it's not a super big deal because I just about exclusively use the flat side. I sometimes wish that the ledges on the sides were a bit taller to contain grease or juices, but that is a minor complaint. I would buy this thing over and over again; the good thing is that you don't need to!

Parfait, fonctionne super bien sur vitrocéramique. Pas oublier de l'assaisonner avant premier usage. Super comptent, bien grande pour plusieurs viande en même temps

great cast iron plate, used on bbq and on electric stove for my pancakeslove it , can make many at the same timegreat for big familytotally recommend

Just received the grill plate and it looks excellent. It's a bit rough, so a bit scary to put on my glass induction stove, but just have to handle it with care. Tried heating it up a bit and it heats up well, so all great. It comes with care instructions, which is excellent, especially for those who do not have a lot of experience with cast iron pans (like me). It also came with a card to encourage feedback and on the back it says to register on the website for 3 months extra warranty beyond the one year and a free gift (exclusions may apply). So I scan the QR: Page Not Found. I visit the website manually and click on Register "Page Not Found". Guess I'm excluded?

Ziet er mooi uit en het gewicht is goed maar ik heb hem nog niet in gebruik genomen

Ich nutze die NutriChef Grillplatte aus Gusseisen jetzt seit einigen Wochen regelmäßig – sowohl auf dem Grill als auch auf dem Herd.- InduktivErster Eindruck:Die Platte ist richtig massiv und schwer, was bei Gusseisen aber auch ein gutes Zeichen ist. Sie wirkt sehr stabil und hochwertig verarbeitet. Durch die Größe (ca. 50 cm) passt ordentlich Grillgut drauf.Hitze & Leistung:Ein großer Vorteil von Gusseisen ist die gleichmäßige Hitzeverteilung und die lange Wärmespeicherung – genau das merkt man hier deutlich.Die Platte wird gleichmäßig heiß und hält die Temperatur stabil, auch wenn man mehrere Sachen gleichzeitig zubereitet.Im Alltag:Besonders praktisch finde ich die zwei Seiten:• geriffelte Seite: perfekt für Steak, Würstchen → schöne Grillstreifen• glatte Seite: ideal für Gemüse, Eier oder PancakesSo kann man sehr flexibel kochen, egal ob draußen oder in der Küche.Positiv:• sehr gute Hitzeverteilung• vielseitig einsetzbar (Grill, Herd, Ofen)• wendbar (glatt + geriffelt)• große GrillflächeNegativ:• recht schwer (typisch Gusseisen)• Reinigung etwas aufwendiger (kein Spülmaschinenprodukt)• muss gepflegt werden (einölen gegen Rost)Fazit:Eine klassische, robuste Gusseisen-Grillplatte mit viel Power. Wer gerne grillt oder auch in der Küche „Grill-Feeling“ haben will, bekommt hier ein sehr vielseitiges und langlebiges Produkt. Perfekt für Familienessen.
