While cast iron skillets have been considered the all-stars of the kitchen for decades now — especially this $15 best selling option from Lodge — other types of cookware made of cast-iron materials exist and, based on reviewers’ reactions, they’re just as epic.

Case in point: over 10,000 Amazon customers have been raving about this cast iron griddle from majorly respected cookware brand Lodge. In fact, a hefty chunk of those shoppers specifically lauded its ability to produce “perfectly uniform pancakes,” among other things. What’s even better is that the hot ticket item is currently on sale for 55 percent off its original retail price.

This deal isn’t one to ignore as Lodge’s products — all made in the U.S.A. — usually cost a pretty penny (quality costs, right?). So, this $15 bargain proves to be a deal that’s hard to come by.

Originally retailing for $33.18, this 10.5-inch pre-seasoned cast iron griddle comes with an easy-grip handle and is suitable to use on all cooking surfaces, grills and even campfires.

This Lodge cast-iron griddle is also oven safe and is said to be ideal for sautéing, searing, frying, baking, and even stir-frying.

As previously mentioned, all of Lodge cast-iron products boast a “homemade” charm as each item is made in the United States — in South Pittsburg, Tennessee — by the family-founded brand.

So, what have shoppers been saying about this product? From over 10,000 reviewers giving their hands-on experience with this Lodge griddle to its overall customer rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars, it’s safe to say that it’s a ratings-winner.

One reviewer, who dubbed this griddle “one of the essential items in your kitchen,” gave a heavily detailed explanation of just why pancakes are made best using this griddle.

“Because cast iron does not dump all its temp right away, when you put food on cast iron, the surface temperature does not drop dramatically,” the five-star reviewer explained. “When we pour cold pancake mix onto this griddle, the surface will not drop in temp dramatically, yielding you perfectly uniform pancakes.”

The only con reviewers seem to have for this product, like many other cast-iron cookware pieces, is that “while being sturdy, it’s heavy.” This, however, is certainly not a deal-breaker since, as one reviewer put it, “the pros outweigh the cons.”
