Lodge 18 Inch Carbon Steel Griddle — Pre-Seasoned, Versatile Cooking Surface

Turn Your Grill into a Short-Order Kitchen

The Lodge 18 inch carbon steel griddle transforms your grill or stove into a compact, reliable kitchen station. Built from heavy 12 gauge carbon steel, it heats quickly and holds a steady temperature for even browning from edge to edge. The 18 x 10 inch surface provides ample space for everything from breakfasts to weeknight staples, including pancakes, eggs, pilaf, shrimp, and vegetables. Pre-seasoned with Lodge's proprietary vegetable oil formula, the surface develops a natural, easy-release finish that only gets better with use. The combination of durability, heat retention, and a broad cooking area makes this griddle a versatile tool for campers, home cooks, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

You can use it on the oven, on a gas stove, on the grill, or over a campfire; it fits across two burners on many home stoves and across camp stoves. After cooking, cleaning is straightforward: scrub with a stiff nylon brush and hot water, avoid soap, towel dry immediately, and apply a light coat of oil while the pan is warm. Not recommended for induction cooktops. Lodge is a family-owned brand since 1896, made in the USA with non-toxic materials and no synthetic coatings.
