Utheer Cast Iron Griddle, Pre-Seasoned, Nonstick, 17 x 13 in Flat Top

I used this inside a 20x40 cook chamber in an offset smoker. 1st picture is it sitting in the pit. Weighs about 20 lbs, very sturdy. Definitely has nonstick coating over cast iron. Watched youtube videos about nonstick/ceramic griddles. Learned important stuff. Keep temps medium, like you would any nonstick pan. I put it over 1.5 chimneys of briquette charcoal and it got hotter than I even expected it to. Even heat, tremendous heat retention. It stayed hot enough to cook on for well over an hour. No warping, no peeling. I cooked 4 burgers and mushrooms as a test run. Came out awesome. Picture 2 is during cook. Picture 3 is burgers pushed to side jut to melt cheese. You can have a cooler spot if you leave an end over part with no charcoal. Took 4 minutes/side then about 90 seconds to melt cheese. Another tip from videos: only use silicone/nylon utensils. Pit Boss makes a nice set for under $40 on Amazon. Steel utensils may scratch the nonstick. May not, but I don’t want to chance it. The silicone stuff worked great. The no stick surface performance was excellent. Cleanup was incredibly easy. Only challenge was waiting long enough for it to cool. Picture 4 is after just using a nylon scraper to push stuff into grease trough (youtube hack: put paper towels in grease trough and it makes cleanup even easier. When it was just warm to the touch I wiped it with a paper towel and it looked like it just came out of the box (picture 5). That was all I did to get it to look like that, wiped it with a paper towel. You can wash it like a pan if you need to. No need to season, you can wash it with disb soap, it’s strong and sturdy. Great non stick, even hear with greatheat retention. I think the negative reviews either got lemons or there was user error. Excellent option to convert a charcoal pit to a griddle, and good alternative to the rolled steel griddle tops (which are also awesome when used properly) because if the nonstick. Super easy cooking and cleaning. I recommend. Especially if you take a little time to educate yourself on how best to use this type of surface

Perfect on the grill and much less weight than carrying two types of cookers. Appears to be great quality and should last for years with proper care. Looking forward to adding it to our RV adventures.

This grill is amazing! We used it on our outside barbecue to make cheesesteaks & the size was perfect! I highly recommend this one .

Excellent quality. Keeps BBQ clean below. The front oil trough keeps the cooking are clean. Clean-up is a breeze.

Works great, seasoned well and heats evenly. Easy to place onto the grill and works perfectly, no sticking or makes great smash burgers, my only issues are that it is such great quality that its super heavy and not the easiest to store. Also cleanup is a little laborsome but thats the nature of a griddle.

I love this griddle. Turned my gas bbq into a blackstone. Cooks really well and the nonstick is so easy to clean. Used it for the first time on July 4th. Made 5 burgers, 8 hot dogs and 8 sausages and had room to toast a few buns. Can’t go over 400 degrees but really don’t need to. Browned the meat nicely and was barely over 300 degrees. Love it!

Study, well made heavy construction. That's where the fun stops. Does NOT retain heat like cast iron cookware. Maybe not true cast iron as others allege, or maybe it's too thin to effectively maintain heat. Case point: Heated to 380F degrees (measured via laser thermometer) on a 52,800 BTU gas grill on high heat. Dropped to 150F within seconds of placing 6 cups of room temperature mixed vegetables on the surface, then failed to return to a reasonable cooking temperature in the process - staying right around 200F. It really just stewed the vegetables. No sear whatsoever. Ended up switching mid-cook to a trusty cast iron frying pan. My car dashboard in the summer sun may be an equally effective cooking surface. Bummer. Had really high hopes for this. Believe the low ratings and skip this "A for effort" but failed product.

This item is well-made. It fits well inside our Weber. My wife says it is an excellent supplement to her various cooking items.

exellente qualité

Use on my gas stove

Using in a sandwich shop. It’s very good but will only probably last about 4/5 months. Still worth the money though

Great hot plate, cleans easy while still hot. Cooks food brilliantly especially smash burgers.

The only reason for 2 stars was because it came damaged. Other than that its good value
