STANSPORT - Cast Iron Reversible Griddle for Stove Top and Grill (15" x 15")

I use it in the oven to bake pizza. It works fine for that. When I bought it, it was much less expensive than a pizza steel. It’s more versatile and durable then a pizza stone. Haven’t tried it on the charcoal grill yet but might.

I’ve been working on a crisper crust since 2019. I knew I needed more heat than my home oven and heard about pizza stones and steels. This seemed just right…as big as would fit my oven, weight in the middle of the steel choices, ridged flip-side for other things like bacon, normal cast iron care that I’m used to.It arrived obviously seasoned but I did one more heat/oil cycle for good measure.The first pies in came out just fine from the oven, about average crusts for me in 9-10 minutes, slightly faster than usual. Putting it in I hadn’t pulled out the oven rack out all the way due to the weight of the griddle. That was a mistake ‘cuz it made it harder to transfer the pie from the peel to the steel and it got slightly discombobulated. It still made an excellent dinner.Second batch was yesterday, a week later, on the gas grill. Success! I raised the crusts for about an hour in a moist 100° oven until the dough was puffy. The grill got to 600°, 50° hotter than my home oven. Easy access with the lid open made for a successful transfer to the griddle . First pizza came off at about 7 minutes and while everyone said it was delicious and chowed down, truth is the bottom was a little burned. Gave the steel 10 minutes to reheat and then slid in Pie Number Two. 4.5 minutes later out it came, cheese melted, toppings just browning, and the crispest, bubbliest, most delectable crust I’ve made to date. I doubt I’ll ever reach my goal of Trieste taverna thin crust, but this was a huge leap in that direction.Couple small points:The rim of the flat side is perfect at about 1/4”. Just high enough to contain small spills and prevent a fresh pie from sliding too far back, and low enough to not interfere with peels or spatulas.Corn oil is a good cast iron seasoning oil since it has the highest smoking temp of commonly available plant oils (Wikipedia “Template:Smoke point of cooking oils”). Beef and pork fat are also good for seasoning.I had slight sticking on both the grill pies, probably due to overcooking the first one. A little help from a thin spatula and they slid off cleanly. I’ll season again before the next batch.

When I bought this griddle in 2016, it was $19 dollars, and makes an excellent pizza stone for my oven that I've used quite a bit over the last year. No complaints for that purpose.However, as of this review, it now goes for $42 on amazon, and it's not worth that.

This cast iron plate is really good but it does take alot of cleaning perhaps I should not put so much barbecue sauce on the food I cook on it , I do like the way it cooks it certainly stops the burning that happens with the propane grill.

Product came noticeably warped, it looked like someone had taken a grinder to it to even out the flat griddle side, poorly made.

It's an OK griddle. The corners are not finished as nicely as I'd like, and there are two chips in the edge. I tried contacting the seller, but have not seen a reply.

love the size of this griddle. I make large tortillas. It's just what I wanted. I use it on my gas stove.It is a bit heavy duty so it is heavy. Stores easily in my oven.Haven't used the other side for outdoor grilling yet.

Not flat, does not heat evenly. The "smooth" side of the griddle was not evenly smooth, and the lip is so low that it was difficult to keep the stuff I was cooking from going over the edge. Because it was not flat, the oil ran off to the sides. The part over the burner was much hotter than the rest. Other than that, it was ok.

Reçue rapidement, exactement comme illustrée sur le site d'Amazon et parfait sur mon brûleur à paella; j'y ferai cuire des grillades comme prévu.

Very thick and heavy, looks to be great quality.

pour plaque au gaz

It's a big slab of cast iron. Casting quality is really poor compared to lodge. Not flat, and has a lot of pit marks, also the rim thickness is inconsistent. I use it for pizza, and for that it works just fine.

Love it. Used on my bbq works.
