Made In Cookware - Carbon Steel Griddle - Professional Cookware - Crafted in Sweden - Induction Compatible

Great griddle! I was hesitant to make this purchase due to the price point. I knew I would use it at least weekly for tortilla restocks, but I hesitated for a long time. It arrived yesterday and I used it today for flour tortillas. It spans two burners, because it’s just the right size, and the entire surface heats evenly, making it possible for me to have three tortillas cooking at once. Since I flip each twice, I start closest to me, flip once to the middle and the second time to the far end to puff up. As soon as I can get the next one rolled out, I am removing last one, flipping other two and adding to the front. Beautiful! Makes tortilla day go quickly and the tortillas come out great. I started my gas stove on medium and turned down to low by the end. Cleanup is a breeze with a little soap and water…and the seasoning stayed just fine! I am already thinking of all the other things I will use this for…it’s like an indoor blackstone!

This is a DELIGHT to cook with on a double burner induction cooktop. Make sure to season the metal even though it comes lightly seasoned from the factory. It'll grab your food otherwise on the first use. It is robust and heavy - the handles are extremely sturdy - no bend whatsoever. I ended up putting a silicon barrier on the induction cooktop to protect it from scratches since this feels like it could do that by weight. But the two times I've used it without protection, there was no damage to the glass surface of the range. Granted, I was being careful not to slide it. It retains heat VERY well, yet responds to intentional temperature changes in just a few seconds. I look for reasons to use this. It's enjoyable to cook with. Thick steaks cook perfectly on it. Sear then reduce to medium - easy every time.

A local chef recommended this griddle during our cooking class at an appliance store that sells induction ranges and cook tops. It's become a workhorse in our kitchen because of its versatility and because I can grill a whole meal on it at once. The griddle arrives pre-seasoned but I didn't trust it to be nonstick, so I heated a thin film sunflower oil on it for the first use. It is almost perfectly nonstick (I always cook with at least a little oil) and it heats up very fast on our cooktop. The handles do heat up but they remain cool enough for me to move the griddle quickly with my bare hands. For cleaning I do not use soap or detergent. I rinse it with hot water, rub a sprinkle of table salt to remove any food residue, rinse again, dab it dry and then put it on the cooktop on low heat for 5 minutes to thoroughly dry. I also use a large metal lid from another pot for covering food and a large flat metal spatula with wood handle.

Really nice griddle. Its different than I expected, the surface is not smooth, but it works. I seasoned it a couple of times, and it releases food well. My conclusion is a pan with a coating (that is going to wear off) is what "non-stick" has become to be known as, and even those most I have seen recommend adding a little fat. This griddle, like stainless steel, you should use more fat, but at that point it is very slick. This griddle feels more like cast iron than I expected albeit a lighter version, but it is still pretty heavy, which i have grown to appreciate, as it doesn't move around while I am cooking. All in all this is a griddle I can see lasting a long, long time. A word if caution, if you've been cooking for a while the handles get very hot. I deducted 1 star for this, it is an unsafe design in my opinion, so have an oven mitt, or 2 handy if you need to move it.

Bottom line up front: It is no where near worth the $170 that Made In asks for, and doesn't resemble the beautiful craftsmanship of their other products. 1. They do not include the necessary handle protectors any longer.....you know, for when the thing is super hot. You can buy them separately though. (No thanks, there are far cheaper options). 2. The edges are sharp (won't cut you or anything) and have a completely unfinished feeling to the. For something in this price range I expect a finished feel. Rounded edges, smooth surfaces.....you know, the things that set it apart? 3. The surface is rough to the touch akin to the cheap cast iron of today that can be found at any grocery store. Certainly not a high end piece of cooking equipment. Find 100 year old carbon steel or cast iron cookware and it's incredibly smooth and almost non-stick without seasoning. 4. Does not fit my standard size oven unless I jam it in there and even then the door stays cracked which is unsafe.......kind of makes it hard to season the cook surface which, given the poor quality, means everything will stick.

For a piece costing $170 you would think they would include the handle covers. Not a smooth surface, pricey for the quality..... was expecting more. (UPDATE) after leaving my initial review at two stars the good Folks at made in reached out to me and offered me a full refund, which I received. They told me to keep the griddle and use it and if I changed my opinion to update my review so that's what I'm doing. I will stay with my initial review that for $170 they could throw in the handle covers, and the piece is a bit on the Rough Side initially. However after 3 coats of seasoning in the oven with avocado oil at 500 degrees the piece is much smoother and works flawlessly. It accepts seasoning very well and I highly recommend at least a couple seasoning processes before use. I did notice after the second seasoning the surface became much smoother. Also I've seen a few reviews of people saying that it will not fit in the oven. I was not able to set it on an oven rack however I was able to use the oven by removing the oven rack and sliding the griddle into the slots where the oven rack goes. My reasoning for changing my review from two stars to five stars is this 1. The customer service at made in is the best that I've ever seen, I did not reach out to them, they reached out to me after my initial review, which says they care about their product and people's opinion. 2. After a few seasonings in the oven the piece accepted seasoning well and smoothed out nicely. I am satisfied with the outcome and after I put a few coats of seasoning on it, it does not stick whatsoever and I feel like this will be one of my go-to's in the kitchen. After seeing the results of of the seasoning, Im purchasing the 10-in carbon steel pan. I'm sure that I will have to put some seasoning on it as I did the griddle with that being said I have yet to find a carbon steel pan that you don't have to season. seasoning is part of the process and the more you season it the better the pan gets I will be looking forward to using both pieces in the kitchen.

Excellent!

Those handles make it too large to store in any of my cabinets or even in the oven. $180 going to Goodwill.

Has helped us in the kitchen on a gas stove to make many grilled cheese sandwiches. Was a great find for the price!

Should of measure the length first, doesn't fit across one burner of Bbq

Too be honest I tend to write few reviews, time consuming and tedious. However sometimes you have to make an effort. I’m a retired chef of 50 years from the UK. I’ve purchased just about every kitchen toy you could imagine. My thoughts on this item? 1. Second you open the package you know, touch, see, feel you’ve purchased a quality item. 2. It’s heavy, nice, has great heat retention properties. 3. Pretty much….. (not 100%) but pretty much none stick straight out of the package. A few cooks resolves any minor issues. (im being really very picky) 4. Can cook pretty much anything you wish. Stir fry, steaks, fish, eggs, veg, omelettes, potatoes…… you name it, you can pretty much do it. 5. Fits my gas stove top at home perfectly. I can use lower the gas burners as I wish. Get the heat where I want it. 6. Easy to wipe clean. 7. Great cooking size surface area. 8. When you hold it, work with it, quality shines through. You know….. just know this is a one off life time purchase. It will last your whole life. 9. A cover/lid and press available. I already had both within my BBQ kit, I did not purchase these items. 10. Nothing negative to say. Once again, retired chef of 50 years.yes, yes, yes…. It comes at a price, it’s costly there are many cheaper. But this is a classic case of :- “You get what you pay for. Buy once, buy right” Strikes me, even in these early days as pretty much indestructible, kinda thing will be handed down through the family. That’s the kind of life expectancy you can anticipate. It’s carbon steel. Leave it hanging about wet it will rust. This is how carbon steel is, it’s not a fault of the product. Your finished working smear it with tiny bit of cooking oil On paper towel. Tiny amount, just enough to make it shine, takes five seconds. If you do mess up? Leave it outside for two weeks in the rain…. IT WILL RUST! BE AWARE IT WILL RUST. That said? If your a bit practical and own a brain you can easily recondition it, your good to go again, with no ongoing damage problems. Because of cost it’s probably not for every home cook. If you cook, like to cook seriously, cook fresh food (Not packet junk) like to experiment….. go for it. You won’t regret it. Great cooking area, stands high heat, huge flexibility, heavy great heat retention, a one off purchase. PS. Yeah…. It is a bit costly. Get over it, stop “looking” and buy. Promise you won’t regret it.

Fantastic griddle, amazingly nonstick after a few uses. Easy to look after and will last a lifetime. It warped by a millimetre or so and we use a silicone mat to stop it skidding on induction hob. Still worth 5 stars!

Really good. Works on induction cooktop. Wish the side where higher but is still good
