Paula Deen 12 by 20-Inch Cast Iron Double Burner Griddle

 (9 customer reviews)

I love my grill/griddle! Very heavy. I re-season it every time I use it to keep it nice and basically non-stick and rust free. However, had I thought out beforehand how I plan to use the griddle, I might have considered single purpose one sided ones. When I put the grill/griddle on the range burners, the seasoning oils on the bottom surface drip off onto my range leaving the stove needing cleaned. So perhaps for my use, since I want to keep the surface non-stick, it may have been better to have a separate grill and griddle instead of flipping the surface and burning dripped oils onto my stove.

I bought this griddle for my mother for Christmas because of its surface size. I didn't see anything else this wide. My mother makes flour tortillas and this looked perfect. I also wanted something to grill on indoors. The day after Christmas, I gave it a quick light wash in soapy water, rinsed it well, and dried it. My mother made pancakes on it, which is always risky with new cast iron but they didn't stick a bit!

The next day, I grilled chicken that had been marinating in a slightly sugary marinade all day. Even with the marinade, the chicken did not stick to the grill and they turned out absolutely beautiful.

I made hamburgers on it the next day. I just can't stop using it. I love it! You'd think I bought it for myself.

I haven't had any uneven heating issues, but I use it over an elongated center burner and I give it plenty of time to heat up all over before throwing my food on it.

I have a professional 4-burner range, each burner is 1ft. square. This fits perfect over 2 burners. It weighs I beleive almost 20 lbs.? so not for the weak. It is well seasoned and this is something that can be handed down many generations.
