La Cuisine 63080 Cast Iron Crepe Griddle Pizza Pan - 11.8”, Matte Black Enamel Coating. A Wood Spatula & A Silicone Handle Holder Included.

If you want to make Poffertjes this is your pan. I love it.

When I bought it, I only had one thing in mind which is to convert one of my induction burner to a traditional burner. But I found it is also a lovely griddle. I found myself using it all the time. It is versatile.

First off, this thing is heavy, it takes a bit to heat up and it needs some seasoning. It also has a bit of a rough texture.You won’t be picking it up with one hand and flipping pancakes.With that out of the way, this is a great big flat skillet with minimal sides that works incredibly well on an induction cooktop. You will have to spend some time with it getting it seasoned, don’t be skimpy with the oil, especially for the first couple of weeks. I’ve used it for crepes, regular pancakes, bacon, sausages, hamburger patties…My regular cast iron fry pan gets up to temperature a bit quicker, but this thing does a much better job at holding temperature. It provides excellent, even heat.For its price, this is a great deal and incredibly useful.

Edit, I've knocked a star off of 5 down to 4 even though I really wanted to give these really nice skillets a 5 star and would if only the measurements were properly advertised. However I've just found another measurement to be off in addition to handle length, the height is wrongly advertised as well. The photo says 2.5" and 1.8" but the actual measurements as far as I can see on my tape are 2.25" and 1.5". That's when measured straight up and down at the edge of a table using the edge as a straightness guide for the tape as the picture shows straight up and down. However the advertised measurements are much closer to accurate if you measure the metal edge diagonally as constructed but that's not the same thing as the up and down height of that edge. Basically in short the skillet has a slightly lower volume than advertised and the diagonal should have been longer than the advertised height. I think this is hard to forgive if they do not update either their design or advertising to match properly after I point it out. So far I'm not going to seek a return or refund but I'd like to report incorrect information.The only "bad" thing so far is that length measurements are off by 0.5" and 0.3" respectively for the large and small, I got 18" and 11.5" on my tape measure. All that means though is a slightly shorter handle. The diameter measurement (the important one) is pretty exact at 12" and 7.8". So all in all I'm pleased.The enamel feels generally smooth though there are a few small rough bumps here and there.From what I understand from this design the enamel is porous and is supposed to be seasoned with oil like regular seasoned cast iron. Then when seasoned it is supposed to provide better rust and surface protection than regular seasoning along with similar non-stick properties. It is likely supposed to eventually wear away with decades of use with the hope of leaving behind a good layer of protective magnetite from low oxygen rusting due to the (limited) porosity, thus prolonging the life even further for use as a regular seasoned cast iron skillet thereafter. They haven't really explained this in that much detail so that what I am supposing from what they have said and what I've now seen of it.All that said if you left it on the shelf unseasoned I do worry that the porosity could absorb water and cause it to rust. So best at least wipe it over with some fresh oil after giving it a first wash and dry even if you do not want to be bothered with baking on a coat of seasoning in the oven, maybe it will absorb.Other than these measurements and thoughts it seem nice if you can be a little forgiving of a few places the enamel seems thin or rough and realize it will probably season and smooth with care, use and time.

Very well made , top quality material. It made a mini tiny tiny little cake that is not deep less than 1 cm depth . Delivery was super fast good condition stomper service .
