Coghlan's Cast Iron Griddle Reversible 18 x 9 in — Pre-Seasoned Heavy-Duty Skillet & Grill, Open-Flame Safe

Coghlan's Cast Iron Griddle is a heavy-duty, pre-seasoned reversible 18 x 9-inch pan that functions as both a smooth skillet and a ridged grill for dependable outdoor cooking.

This versatile griddle is built from solid cast iron and pre-seasoned so it’s ready to use right away for camping, backyard fires, tailgating, or cabin kitchens. Designed to sit on portable stoves, open flames, and standard barbecues, the pan’s two cooking faces let you fry, sear, and grill without carrying multiple pieces of cookware. At about 17.9 x 8.9 inches and weighing 7.25 pounds, it balances a roomy cooking surface with a durable heft that holds heat evenly for consistent results.

What surfaces and heat sources can this griddle handle?

The griddle works with most outdoor and indoor heat sources: open campfires, charcoal grills, propane stoves, and many backyard fire pits. Cast iron’s thermal mass delivers steady, even heat across the pan, making it suitable for slow-simmering stews or quick sears.

• Open flame safe — sit directly on campfire coals or over a grate
• Compatible with portable propane or white-gas camp stoves
• Works on charcoal and propane grills when used as a flat or ridged surface
• Not for glass-top electric ranges unless used carefully with proper protection

How does the reversible design expand cooking options?

One side is smooth for pancakes, eggs, and sautéing, while the other side is ridged to create grill marks and allow fats to drain. The two surfaces let you swap between breakfast and dinner tasks quickly, reducing the need to pack multiple pans.

• Smooth skillet face for batter, delicate fish, and stir-fry
• Ridged grill face for steaks, burgers, and vegetables with sear lines
• Flip the griddle to change functions without extra cookware
• Edge design helps contain liquids and prevent spills

What maintenance does a pre-seasoned cast iron griddle need?

The griddle arrives pre-seasoned to provide an initial nonstick layer, but regular cleaning and occasional re-seasoning will keep it performing well for years. Use hot water and a brush after cooking, dry thoroughly, then apply a thin coat of oil to protect the metal and refresh the seasoning.

• Clean with hot water and a stiff brush; avoid soap when possible
• Dry completely to prevent rust, using gentle heat if needed
• Apply a light coating of cooking oil after each use to maintain the seasoning
• Re-season in an oven or over coals if food begins to stick or dull the surface

Who is this for? Outdoor cooks, campers, and backyard grillers who want a single, heavy-duty pan that covers frying, searing, and grilling will appreciate Coghlan’s reversible griddle. It’s especially well suited for families or small groups who need a substantial cooking surface for pancakes, burgers, steaks, and vegetable medleys without hauling multiple pieces of cookware. If you value heat retention, straightforward maintenance, and the flexibility to switch between smooth and ridged cooking surfaces, this griddle is designed to deliver reliable performance on the trail or at home.
