Do you want an inexpensive way to transform your backyard grill into a griddle? The Lodge reversible BBQ griddle plate instantly turn a barbecue into a griddle, plus you can use it inside on your kitchen stovetop!
Get a Grill and a Griddle in One Cast Iron Plate:
One side of the cast iron plate is completely flat, while the other side has ridges. So, you can fry eggs, cook pancakes or stir fry vegetables without having to buy a complete griddle.
In addition, you can flip the griddle plate over and use the side that contains ridges. This gives you a way to cook meat inside and still get those nice grill lines without even having a BBQ!
While you get various cooking options, this BBQ griddle plate only costs about $30. Not to mention, the cast iron plate comes already seasoned and ready to use.
The durable cast iron will last many, many years. Plus, the more you cook with it, the more you enhance its seasoning. You can save a bunch of money if you don’t need a complete full-size griddle.
Note: After each use, you want to wash and dry the cast iron immediately. Don’t let the griddle plate remain wet, or the cast iron will rust. Each time you finish cooking, rub the surface with a light layer of cooking oil to continue the seasoning process.
Pros & Cons of Portable Griddle Plates VS Full-Size Griddles:
Compared to freestanding units, like a Blackstone Griddle, you can use these griddle plates on a barbecue or on indoors on a stovetop. Therefore, you can get a lot more use out of them because they are portable.
Plus, their compact size makes them easier to transport, wash and store. With these advantages, the Lodge Grill/Griddle can provide a handy portable cooktop if you already have a grill or heat source.
The downside is that these cast iron grill plates are significantly smaller. Consequently, they don’t give you as much space to cook on like a Blackstone or Camp Chef Flat Top Grill.
That said, you can purchase 2 portable griddle plates and still save a few hundred dollars compared to buying a stand-alone griddle.
