Unidanho Cast Iron Griddle 17x13 in Universal Gas Grill & Stove Insert with X-Brace and Grease Channel

Unidanho's 17" x 13" cast iron griddle is a heavy-duty, one-piece grilling plate designed to fit as a universal insert for gas grills, stove tops, and open-fire camp cooking.

This flat cast iron griddle combines a reinforced X-brace base, integrated grease channel, and ergonomic side handles to deliver stable, even heat and easier cleanup whether you're cooking on a backyard gas grill, at a campsite, or during tailgating. Built from thick forged cast iron, the pan is engineered to resist warping under high temperatures and provide reliable searing, browning, and heat retention across the whole surface.

How does this griddle perform on different heat sources?

The Unidanho griddle is made to be versatile: it transfers evenly on gas burners, charcoal setups, and open flames. Its heavy cast iron mass stores heat well and the X-brace reinforcement keeps the cooking surface flat under intense temperatures.

• Works on gas grills, stove tops, charcoal grills, and campfires.
• Thick cast iron ensures consistent heat distribution and retention.
• X-brace prevents warping when exposed to high heat for long periods.
• Flat surface suited for searing, pancakes, teppanyaki, and more.

What features make cleanup and maintenance easier?

Cleanup is simplified by the built-in grease channel that captures drippings and reduces flare-ups. With routine seasoning and hot-water rinses, the pan keeps improving with use and becomes naturally nonstick.

• Integrated oil groove channels grease away from cooking area for easier disposal.
• One-piece forged design eliminates seams that trap food particles.
• Seasoning the cast iron forms a durable protective layer for low-maintenance care.
• Wipe, rinse with hot water, and re-season as needed—no harsh detergents required.

How does the griddle handle weight and movement during cooking?

Ergonomic side handles are molded into the pan for safe, balanced lifting even when hot (use mitts). The reinforced bottom keeps the plate level when transferring between grill and table, and the thick iron prevents tipping or flexing under cookware or heavy foods.

• Sturdy side grips provide a comfortable, secure hold for moving the griddle.
• X-shaped reinforcement supports the center to avoid sagging under heavy loads.
• Generous 13" x 17" cooking area accommodates multiple servings at once.
• Solid one-piece construction reduces pressure points that cause damage over time.

What can you cook and how will results differ from a standard grill grate?

The flat surface offers full contact heat for even browning and searing across delicate foods that would fall through grates. It’s excellent for eggs, vegetables, seafood, flatbreads, and any item that benefits from a continuous cooking plane.

• Great for pancakes, teppanyaki-style stir-fries, and seared steaks or burgers.
• Prevents small items from falling through grill grates while still delivering char and flavor.
• Grease channel helps manage drips for cleaner smoke and fewer flare-ups.
• Large surface feeds groups—ideal for backyard parties, tailgates, and camping meals.

Who is this for: Outdoor cooks, tailgaters, campers, and home grill owners who want a durable, no-frills cast iron griddle that performs across fuel types. If you need a heavy-duty, universal cooking plate that resists warping, captures grease, and gives a wide flat surface for varied recipes, this Unidanho 17" x 13" griddle is built for consistent results and long-term use.
