Thank you for this video. I love your energy in this video. I am thinking of getting my dad this for Christmas and just needed to see what it looks like on a burner. Thank you so much!
We've used this griddler for a variety of items including steak, fish, vegetables ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxMcXT6_MuT0hB3ejyGQQHaeof9bwoWPUf and mushrooms and it's been great! Gets that great smokey flavor when using high heat or sear. The grill works amazingly simple and very low smoke for what it is. Heat gets up fairly quick, especially on closed position. The griddler side is fairly simple, better for eggs and pancakes rather than any cooking. Use the flat plates with the grill side if needed.Cleanup is easy and having heat on both sides is great for cooking a large amount or panini press.This definitely gets hot though so be careful with the sides.
Got my double side griddle from Home Goods for $25 bucks. Took a sander to the flat side and made it smooth as glass. 80 grit, then 120 grit. Probably didn't need too, but I don't have years to wait for a proper time infused seasoning. Coat it in oil and bake it for an hour in a 450 oven. Did it 2x. It worked like magic
I read this as soon as he said it and it put the biggest smile on my face 😂 he’s so happy 😁 I am too.. love a good pancake.. my mom (love her to life.. bless her heart) we always grew up with brunt pancakes.. when I became an adult I said “no more!” Lol I learn proper pancake “technique” and now we have pretty pancakes like those lol
Love at first griddle, ever met two people who fell in love because the girl he was dating has a lodge reversible flaptop and has always wanted one before as well. Brings it over on the first date, puts them side by side and it's almost like a real flat top grill. hahah
Good Job Buddy!! Been using my glass top for 8-10 years with Cast Iron Cookware. I have a few marks from iron use but hey... it’s aging! I finally talked my bride into going with gas since I added Natural Gas about 15 years ago when I converted to NG Heat. I added NG Fire Place Logs and NG for grilling. Went ahead and added a line for the kitchen and garage. FINALLY I’ll be cooking with GAS after approximately 18-20 years. It’ll be delivered on July 1st WootWoot
Thanks for this, I was worried about getting the reversible grill because that inch or so of space and lack of direct contact on a glass top might mean it wouldn't get hot enough.
I bought two of these griddles for my BBQ grill. They work great. A tip that I never see given for cast iron of any kind. Get it hot and once there put butter or lard or tallow on it (these are my preference as I despise seed/vegetable oils) . Let them melt and let the griddle get back to the temp you were going to cook at. And then griddle away. I didn't put any grease/oil down the first time and the meat stuck horribly to it. But since making sure I oiled the griddle first it's been fantastic. Yah I brain farted the first time. Tip to you. Put butter down for the pancakes and sausage. Once the sausage starts to cook, the fat that renders out of it will probably be enough to finish your meal. Bravo on the meal. The griddle may have been hotter than you wanted, but the egs still came out looking and im sure tasting fantastic.
Great video. Thinking about getting one but was worried about my glass stovetop. I guess if you lay it down carefully and don't move it, it shouldn't scratch anything.
That is correct. The glass top stove will be fine. Just don’t slide your pans around on the surface or set them down too aggressively. Thanks for watching.
Is there a good or proper way to use these where you don't smoke out your entire house? Got one for christmas, but regardless of running my fume extractor at high speed, my house is filled with smoke within minutes....
Thanks for this video, looks amazing! My only drawback in buying one is the thought of how much it could splatter without side on it. Have you found that it splatters oil everywhere?
Breakfast of Champions baby love it. Awesome great job man🤙🙈🤣 my mouth was watering watching this vid. I think I might get the pan type with the handle not sure what the diff is though other then the handle
I know cast iron is better but I dont like babysitting it so i ordered a cast aluminum one by Nordic Ware and am waiting for it to come in. I dont even use my 10" cast iron skillet because its annoying (to me) having to take extra measures. Completely agree about gas, you have way more temperature control. I have a glass top in my new house i moved to and hate it, the area I am in there is no natural gas lines so im fked
Hey Darwin, the post you saw in the group was undoubtedly from Jeff Rogers. He’s on UA-cam as The Culinary Fanatic. You’ll love his videos! Great looking pancakes (whole breakfast tbh), by the way! Keep ‘em coming!
Bob Fletcher JBR videos are a great & a treat to watch! Very educative informational as well. It’s been my go-to channel along with Cowboy Kent Rollins channel.
Hi! Is your heat source IH(Induction)? The edge of griddle seems not flat enough to get tightened to the induction. Is that wright? I want to buy both of them but not sure if it would work together. I would appreciate if you share your experience more. Thanks in advance!
@@DarwinYoung1969 thanks for asking . i am still working on it get to perfection . i think i need to try few more times . i need get the heating tempature right !
Not much, it’s just that you have a larger, more open surface to work with. You can basically cook everything in one place, no moving the pan around, no pan walls to hinder your spatula. Also, when you can grill the patties and toast the bun at the same time, you feel like a real chef at a burger place, which is pretty cool
@@JChackoFTP I am on the fence whether to go for the 16.75 inch one ( the one in this video) or the 20 inch one, we are a family of 4 and wondering how much it would grill in a single batch. Can you plz let me know how much of chicken breast in pounds I could grill in one batch ?
6:07 caught ya! somebody has messed with that pancake! It's ok though, I always enjoy a pancake cooked a little past golden brown because it adds a little caramelized flavor. looks delishhhh!
@@DarwinYoung1969 The pancake moved indicating it was picked up during the time lapse. I also mentioned how I like to cook a pancake past golden brown to enhance the flavor to a darkness like the one in your video, maybe even a tad darker.
Most of the ceramic glass range manufacturers say you shouldn't span cookware across two elements like this or you risk cracking the glass. No truth to this?
@@DarwinYoung1969 Sorry no when I first bought it today I put it on my two burners and the sides start smoking and the bottom started smoking and I only put it at 4/10 I was able to use it but I was just curious why that happened and if you experienced it
Well I can only make an assumption. Sounds to me you got it pretty hot and the seasoning was burning off. Are you on a gas stove? I typically bring home my new pieces, wash them real good and give them at least one round of seasoning in the oven prior to cooking on them. I do sometimes see a bit of smoke, but only when I am going for a high temp. Don’t forget cast iron prefers a low and slow cooking method unless you are searing meat. I wouldn’t be too concerned about the smoke unless you can see that the seasoning is literally burning off. If that is the case, turn down the heat! Hope this helps.
Probably running the heat too high. Cast iron retains heat, so once your iron is hot, turn the heat down. your iron will smoke once the oil seasoning starts breaking down, at around 400-425 degrees, since Lodge uses Canola for seasoning at the factory
I don't use metal utensils on my cast iron. Respect the seasoning and curing process. Just got a doible sided griddle. Look forward to all you can eat pancakes at my house.
@@fluffin4beanim sorry u made me do this ummm actually 🤓 seed oils are full of very harmful things like omega 6 fatty acids and are highly deodorised, oxidised and pressurised which makes it highlyyyyy inflammatory so butter and bacon grease are holy foods (in moderation) compared to those rubbish seed oils (there is no healthy amount for these) they r just rancid things that stay in ur body.stay healthy.

Love how excited you are with pan cake experiment
Thanks for watching. It’s the little things that get me. 😁
I have an electric stove and after watching this video I'm going for it and getting one of these things!
I'm sold.....many thanks!!!!!
My pleasure. I am glad I could help you.
Please consider preheating in oven then transferring to stove.
@@DarwinYoung1969 did u do that in this vid?
I use cast iron on my glass top all the time..just bought a grill griddle can't wait to try it
My suggestion is preheat it in the oven depending on what you are cooking. Enjoy!
Those pancakes are gorgeous!
Darwin young, you’re something else!!!❤
Love the shape of the first pankcake.
Thank you so much for doing this video! It’s snowing heavy in the PNW & we can’t use our grill. Off to go buy this!!
Thanks for watching! Let me know how you like it!
Did you get one??
Thanks for this video. I was wondering about using mine on my glass cooktop. Hibachi Steak, Chicken, and Shrimp here I come
Hope you enjoy
I have been afraid to try as I have glasstop too but thanks I will go for it now and try it.
Simply try to be gentle. They are tougher than most realize. Thanks for stopping by!
You're rockin it bud!!
Looks like the breakfast of champions! 💪🏼
I love the video! I searched for this after wondering if this would work well on m electric as opposed to gas stoves, thanks!
My pleasure Christopher. I’m glad I was able to help. Just a hint, I preheated it in oven prior to cooking just to build some heat.
Great video. Thinking about getting one but was worried about my glass stovetop. I guess if you lay it down carefully and don't move it, it shouldn't scratch anything.

You are fun to watch and listen. Good job
Awwwwww thank you.
I recently bought the same griddle! ❤️
Great video mate!
Excellent video, thank you!

damn that flip was pure drip
Thanks for your sharing and I come from Hong Kong and nice Pancakes

Do you have to pre-heat in the oven beforehand, or can you put it on the stove right away?
That looks amazing!
Great video👍🏽
Thank you!!! 💕
Does the whole griddle get heated though the middle hasnt got a ring directly under??
Hey Darwin, the post you saw in the group was undoubtedly from Jeff Rogers. He’s on UA-cam as The Culinary Fanatic. You’ll love his videos! Great looking pancakes (whole breakfast tbh), by the way! Keep ‘em coming!

Do you have an induction cooktop?
Thank you now i will use mine.
Please do!!! I love mine.
So these have enough contact to the glass top?
I preheated it in the oven for even heat. But yes, they do, just watch your heat.
Great video
Tomorrow, im trying mg griddle pan to my glasstop.
Go for it! Have fun!

It’s a glass top electric.
Thank You BROTHER!!!!
Is this a box mix?
hey can you use a cast iron griddle on a gas stove
just do just put griddle on top of your hubs right
Yes it can be used on a gas stove. Just monitor your heat very closely.
@@DarwinYoung1969 so you just put it over the hub like when you put a pot
That is correct. And once again, monitor your heat closely. Low flame and take the time to allow it to preheat.
so put on hub bruns at low heat and on from 10 to 15 mins befor use
Monitor your heat, keep it low and slow.
Nice circle pancake 🥞
thanks, man i have an electric stove so I just bought it . I am planning to make smash burgers .
How did your burgers turn out?
@@DarwinYoung1969 thanks for asking . i am still working on it get to perfection . i think i need to try few more times . i need get the heating tempature right !
Hi I am thinking of purchasing this griddle .can you plz let me how much of chicken breast in pounds I could grill in one batch ?
I have no idea.
About 4 pounds
Glass top? I’ve still got coils
Looks so good! But what is the difference between using a frying pan or skillet?
Not much, it’s just that you have a larger, more open surface to work with. You can basically cook everything in one place, no moving the pan around, no pan walls to hinder your spatula. Also, when you can grill the patties and toast the bun at the same time, you feel like a real chef at a burger place, which is pretty cool
What size grill did you go with? Deciding between
the 16.75 Inch x 9.5 Inch and the 20 Inch x 10.5 Inch.
This one measures 16”x8.5” approximately.
@@DarwinYoung1969 After measuring my stove top and some research, I'm going with the 20". Thanks for your help homie!
@@JChackoFTP I am on the fence whether to go for the 16.75 inch one ( the one in this video) or the 20 inch one, we are a family of 4 and wondering how much it would grill in a single batch. Can you plz let me know how much of chicken breast in pounds I could grill in one batch ?
Any other stoned people watching this pancake cook in real time dun-dunning the Mission Impossible music to themselves?

I’m confused. What are you talking about?

@@flyinshu9419perfect explanation

Looking to buy. Thanks!!
A+ on the pancake 🥞
Do you notice any cold spots?
Only due to being spread across 2 burners.
Now that’s a thumb !
Nice !!!!
Why does the side of my griddle start smoking?
Can you be more specific? Is it oil? You mean on the stove? How long have you had it. Have you seasoned it yourself?
@@DarwinYoung1969 Sorry no when I first bought it today I put it on my two burners and the sides start smoking and the bottom started smoking and I only put it at 4/10 I was able to use it but I was just curious why that happened and if you experienced it

What size is this griddle
9.5x16.75”
Love my cast iron skillets just FYI don’t use metal against a cast iron skilletb
Why would I not? It does not harm the cast iron.
Eggs are raw man
you sound like tom hanks.. specifically, forrest gump
Hahahahahahahahhahahaa!!!!!! You have to do the best with what God gave you!
I don't use metal utensils on my cast iron. Respect the seasoning and curing process. Just got a doible sided griddle. Look forward to all you can eat pancakes at my house.
I use metal exclusively. It will not harm the seasoning.
Sausage looks a little....well....burnt , 9:44
Simple note STOP using seed oils, instead use butter or bacon grease. Seed oils are very bad for you!
Butter and bacon grease are very bad for you too. 😂😂😂

High quality butter and meat fats, are indeed good for us because of the omega fatty acids.
Lard?
A good butter is healthy.
Nice burned meat
