Emeril Lagasse , pre-seasoned cast iron 11-inch round griddle , black

This item looked good, what i expected. However, when I opened the package, the handle was broken. I believe the USP person who delivered just threw the package over the fence and the heaviness of this item made the handle crack off. If the person didn't know how to open the door, I expect a notification of attempt delivery instead of just throwing an item over a fence. I Gave it a 4 stars because of the delivery service and because of the wait in order to get a new one, other than that, the product looks good. I got a refund and I might buy the same product again or choose another.

I must admit off the bat that I could have caused the damage on this item. I removed the coating with a sander and went through a 3 step process of reapplying the coating. I think, after the first phases, I noted a crack in the upper right hand corder going to approximately midline. Part of the process is heating the item on the stove. I noticed the crack after heating it for the first time. That being said, it is a beautiful griddle. It fits perfect and serves the purpose that I intended which is to make keto friendly tortillas and eggs.

Love the item, especially for the price. It was a gift for my husband who loves to cook. His only complaint was that it wasn’t “seasoned” properly.I’m not even really sure what that means, but he said it after the Dutch oven rusted inside. It happened after his first time using it. It was no big deal. He properly treated it w heat & oil and hasn’t had any issues since.

Have used this pot pretty heavily. But it’s been religiously cared for - no soap, no acidic liquids & seasoned regularly. Has functioned we’ll but just noticed a chip this week, which is a shame as this is the pot’s “heavy season”. Reasonable cost so I don’t feel shafted. Not sure if the wear I’m seeing is what other users are seeing. But I’d still give it 4/5 stars!

Have used the grill for meat, vegetables and tofu and all were well-cooked and the meat had a nice char after using the press. The press handle did not get hot. I suggest seasoning even though the pan is pre-seasoned. It is so much easier to clean than the non-stick grill I used in the past.

Great grill, but it is very difficult to clean!

Purchased as a gift. The recipient is an excellent cook. He loved this grill press. He stated it gets very hot and makes excellent panini sandwiches. He has used this item as a grill press and as a griddle. He stated this grill press was ready to go when he received it (pre-seasoned). Worth five stars.

Very nice looking cast iron pot and well seasoned too! Does the job. Just hope it will last, --so far so good. Looks really nice and fancy too to serve up some Beef Stew or Gumbo or a favorite casserole and serve it up on the dinner table too! The cast iron on this pot is not as thick as the cast iron on the Lodge cast iron pots, but it is a very good quality made cast iron pot nonetheless.

It works. Not as good as my other cast iron pan. They differ in shape, it’s flat so heat is distributed differently I think

It was a gift. They like it very much

I didn't know you could get something like this! It fits on my gas range perfectly. Can hardly wait to try out the possibilities

Not impressed, creates too much smoke when grilling. If the manufacturer would provide some tips on lessening the smoke my rating might be higher. That being said it is built well just not great for I door use.

This was a disastrous purchase. Did not act at all like it was preseasoned. The pancake batter cooked into the finish....a nightmare to clean.
