 Great for making 3 egg omlets August 26, 2003

I love cooking with cast iron. This pan is great for making those 3 egg omlets, pancakes, fried eggs, etc. The low lip makes it easy to get the spatula under the eggs and flip them. On the down side if you fry bacon or sausages in it, the grease will spatter the stove. On a campfire that of course won't be a problem.However if you have limited space in your kitchen cabinet get the combo cooker. The lid is nearly as large as this one and you get the fry pan as well. On the plus side, this pan being thin fits right under the stack of cast iron pans I already own. So if you cook for a large family and want to serve everyone faster, this is a good way to go as an additional pan.
Now I can make pancakes!! April 18, 2006

I'm a lousy cook and I love pancakes. I've always had to go to a restaurant to get a decent pankcake because I never figured out how to make them right.
But when I got this Griddle I started turning out perfect pancakes every time! There must be something about iron. I've never had any iron cookware before. And the size is just small enough so it's not too heavy, but the flatness allows me to make a "short stack" of pancakes all at once.
This is the most joy that $12.00 has brough into my life in a long time. And, I'll save a ton of money over the rest of my life not going to restaurants to get pancakes!!
 Heavy base is great for omelettes and tortillas but handwash and keep from rusting! January 11, 2007

I love this girdle as it is such a convenient size. The heavy base means that you can cook your omelette on low flame and it would cook through nicely before you flip it. On lighter pans the omelettes start burning on one side while the other side is still liquid. I make tortillas/ and Indian rotis and paranthas on it too. It works very well as you have to heat the girdle on high flame for perfect rotis and teflon coated girdles just get runied very quickly if you use them for high flame dry cooking. Cast iron is "non-stick" and you can take it to high heat without worries...and even use your metal spatulas on it.
The only reason why it gets 4 stars is that the handle heats up too and you have to use a pot holder to move the girdle around and remember never to touch it while cooking. The other reason is that since it is made of cast iron you always have to hand wash it and wipe it dry to store. Other wise next time you need it you will be scraping off rust spots from the girdle. All of which makes it a little less convenient. However, it is an invaluable addition to my kitchen, especially for my Indian breads.
My most used stove top utensil! November 17, 2005

How did I ever live with out this thing? I use it for most every dry-cooking task. My fave: flour tortilia pizza-dilia. Always on hand in my house: Flour Tortilias, jarred tomato pasta sauce and cheese...plus anything in the fridge. Olives, peppers, sausage, turkey pepperoni, frozen spinach, you name it. Preheat griddle, throw tortilia on, spread sauce on top then cheese and any thing else. I pre-cook onions and bell peppers in microwave to soften (i use to saute, but we're talking desperation dinner here) I run it under the broiler to brown off and voila! PIZZA-DILIA! Above all, it's quick and I'm pretty sure it's better for you and know it's quicker than delivery.
