Lodge L9SGR Cast Iron Square Griddle 11 Inch

Overview

An 11 inch square pre-seasoned cast iron griddle from Lodge, made in the USA with iron and vegetable oil seasoning only, no synthetic coating. Rated for stovetop, oven, grill and campfire use, for pancakes, eggs, bacon and similar foods.

Lodge markets this as heirloom-quality cookware meant to outlast a single owner, and cast iron of this kind genuinely holds up to decades of use if cared for, unlike coated nonstick pans that wear out. The finish comes from iron and vegetable oil rather than a PFAS or Teflon coating, which the listing calls out directly given how many shoppers now filter for that. Its square shape and 11 inch size fit a single burner and work for pancakes, eggs, bacon or tortillas.

Who it's for

Cooks who want a traditional, coating-free cast iron griddle for stovetop or open-fire cooking and are willing to maintain seasoning by hand. It suits campers as much as home kitchens given its oven, grill and campfire rating.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Cast iron holds and distributes heat evenly once it reaches temperature, which is what suits it to searing pancakes or eggs on a griddle surface. Lodge builds this one to resist denting and warping over repeated use, and because the seasoning is plain iron and vegetable oil rather than a factory coating, it can be re-seasoned indefinitely rather than replaced when a coating wears out. That same lack of synthetic coating means food release depends on how well the seasoning has been built up.
