This Lodge Cast Iron Griddle Is a ‘Powerhouse,’ and Right Now It’s 39% Off

There is probably an aluminum frying pan on your stove that has been cooking up bacon and eggs for years now, and maybe it's worked well enough—but there are some drawbacks to the typical frying pan when it comes to preparing breakfast. First of all, most standard frying pans can only cook one egg or a few strips of bacon at a time—and you might as well forget about efficiently cooking pancakes altogether. Plus, hot spots can result in bacon that is burnt in some spots and flabby in others. 

Sound familiar? Then it’s time to upgrade your breakfast cookware. Try this Lodge round griddle —Amazon shoppers swear by it, and right now, you can grab your own for just $20. 

Lodge Cast Iron Round Griddle

The Lodge cast iron round griddle measures 10.5-inches in diameter, and like all cast iron, has a naturally nonstick surface that becomes more effective the more often you use it—and lucky for you, bacon grease can be repurposed to provide an oily coating on the surface of the pan. 

The central benefits of switching to a cast iron griddle to prepare breakfast are two-fold: First of all, cast iron distributes heat evenly.  And thanks to excellent heat retention, once it gets hot, cast iron stays that way. That means that there are less hot spots to worry about while cooking, so you get crispy, evenly cooked bacon every time.

This cast iron griddle also has a larger surface area than the typical frying pan, which have curved sides. Not only can the flat surface of this griddle fit multiple fried eggs alongside bacon or several crisp, golden pancakes at once, but it is also ideal for grilled cheese sandwiches and quesadillas. Breakfast gets on the table much faster thanks to the fact that you pack much more food onto the griddle at a time, which everyone in your family will be thankful for.

Amazon shoppers agree that this is a must-have, awarding it more than 38,000 five-star ratings thanks to the fact that it's been a game changer at breakfast time. One shopper called it “powerhouse,” praising its “remarkable heat retention and even distribution.” They even added that “versatility is unmatched.”

Another shopper who bought this pan while “thinking of all the meals their grandpa made them as a child in a cast iron skillet,” loves that their “eggs cook beautifully with crispy edges and warm runny yolks and they slide right off this griddle.” 

Frying pans are great, but to make the best breakfasts possible, you need this Lodge cast iron griddle. Grab it on sale for just $20—and then invite all your friends over for brunch.
