Pay attention to how heavy your skillet is if you plan to travel with it or frequently move it around your kitchen. One of cast iron’s greatest features is that it can be used everywhere from an induction stovetop to a campfire, so if you plan to cook in multiple locations, a lighter griddle will be easier to transport. Keep in mind that cast iron is notoriously heavy, so if you’re looking for a skillet on the lighter side, 10 pounds or less is a good benchmark. Number of Handles The steam that’s produced from the water along with a good pan scraper or a griddle cleaning pad should remove about 99% of anything that’s on your griddle. Never use steel wool pads to clean your cast iron griddle.

If you love pizza as much as me, then a good cast iron round griddle is necessary for making the perfect pizza. After looking at about 10 different pizza griddles we decided on the Victoria round griddle.It has a large surface area of about 12.5 inch diameter, perfect for medium-sized pizzas. Overall, with the removable wire handles, it’s nearly 18″ wide. The handles say ‘cool touch’ but I would still use hot pads. Cooking on a medium or low heat gets the best results — even for frying and searing. Let the product heat up gradually for great tasting food that’s cooked evenly. If you do need to use a higher heat, lower the setting once the desired heat has been reached. Cleaning is very easy and there are no complaints about this griddle rusting. As with all cast iron griddles, they will rust if you don’t take care of them. Simply clean them by using a little salt and water on a paper towel. You can also look into specific scrubbers and oils designed for preserving your cast iron griddle for gas grills. Versatile: Our cast iron griddles aren’t just great for large family breakfasts. Use them to grill or fry up steak, fish, or entrees too big to fit into a cast iron skillet. The generous size also makes this griddle perfect for roasting veggies on the grill. Pouring spouts: look for skillets that come equipped with pouring spouts as they prove incredibly useful when it comes to disposing of fat or grease or when making a delicious gravy or sauce, as these spouts allow for mess-free pouring. Spouts on either side of the pan mean they’re easy to use for both left- and right-handed users.

How easy they were to clean and store: cleaning a cast iron pan is pretty simple, just wipe clean, rinse and coat in a thin layer of oil. We made sure that there was no rusting after cleaning and looked for useful additions, like hanging holes in the handles. Great tasting food: the cast iron construction retains heat for even cooking and browning. Your delicious creations will also stay warmer at the table for longer. Enamelled or non-enamelled: enamelled pans not only add a touch of visual appeal with their range of vibrant colours, but they also offer easier cleaning due to their finished surface. However, it's important to remember that you won’t be able to build up the same patina on an enamelled pan because of it’s finished surface, and therefore will miss out on the flavour and natural improvement over time that non-enamelled cast iron brings. Heat distribution: although hardy pieces of kit, we still expect quality craftsmanship and performance. Even heat distribution means food cooks at the same temperature. Since it’s smaller than the double burner griddles it heats up faster and the center of the pan doesn’t get cold like the double burner griddles.
