Lomello & Co. — 3/16" Solid Steel Griddle

This griddle is a beast! Lots of real estate to run pancakes and bacon or sausage side by side for breakfast or enough smashburgers at once to feed a small army. The thick steel really retains heat. I've used it across two burners on an induction cook top and a gas grill so far. Like all carbon steel and cast iron...pre-heat on low and cook on no higher than medium. Because of the heat retention and mass, you don't need or want higher heats, which will just make things more prone to sticking and the pan more prone to warping. Also, manage your heat across both burners. It's better to have the two burners on low-medium than one on low and one on medium which can cause uneven heating and warping.

I'm shocked how nice this griddle is. 7 gauge (3/16") American carbon steel. The welds and craftsmanship are top notch. This griddle is made from one piece of steel, no rivets. The design is great, the sides are somewhat tall, but flared out perfectly to be able to easily get in there to get to the food. This sidewall design reduces splatter. Its big, but not too big, and it sits dead flat with zero wobble. This griddle takes seasoning extremely well and it's virtually non-stick out of the box. I also looked at the Made-In griddle, it is nice, but this griddle is thicker, better made, bigger, and less expensive. This is the best value among all competitors. It's a no brainer to buy.. ..

Very impressive piece of Carbon Steel cookware!
