Onlyfire Universal Cast Iron Cooking Griddle, 18.5" × 14"

This cast iron cooking griddle has quickly become my go-to for everything from pancakes and bacon in the morning to burgers and steaks at night. It arrived pre-seasoned, so I could start cooking right away, and the nonstick coating works surprisingly well—food releases easily, and cleanup is quick. The flat top grill design gives me a large, even-heating surface with no annoying hot or cold spots. It’s perfect on my stovetop, in the oven, or even over the fire when camping. The heavy-duty construction feels like it will last for decades, and the sturdy side handles make it easy to move (even though it’s nice and hefty, as cast iron should be). I love how versatile it is—whether I’m making breakfast for the family, searing meat, or cooking veggies, it handles it all beautifully. And the more I use it, the better the seasoning gets, adding even more flavor to my meals. If you want a reliable, long-lasting piece of cookware that works indoors and outdoors, this is it. Fantastic quality for the price. Highly recommend!

I recently purchased this griddle for our new (to us) 1950s Era Dixie gas apartment stove. We got the non-ceramic version, and so far, we are loving how well it cooks. Since it is too large to season in any of our ovens, we used avocado oil to do its initial seasoning on the stovetop. We bought a 20" apartment range specifically for a dedicated griddle top, and it sits beside our 1970s Kenmore gas range, so we knew we might have to have a griddle top custom-built to our specifications, but when we found this one, we thought we would use it as a trial to see how we liked it. The griddle is 20" wide, and fit the range perfectly, but is too shallow to use all four burners as effectively as we would wish. A lot of heat leaks out the back side, since its 16" depth is just barely big enough to cover the rear burners. Another feature we like is the raised side on the side and rear of the griddle, along with handles to lift it up. for draining grease from the catch tray, which is across the whole front - another selling feature for us. Some of the custom carbon steel griddles we looked at before this purchase had a single hole for grease drainage, and we preferred the front tray. The major downside we have discovered is that the whole griddle has to be lifted off and tilted over a bowl to drain the grease when cooking anything remotely fatty like burgers, bacon, or sausage. We ordered a separate grease drip pan online, and plan to drill a 1/4" drain hole in the bottom of the grease tray on the griddle, which will allow the grease and oil to drain off the side without lifting the griddle and tilting it. Ultimately, I think we will continue experimenting with ideas for our indoor set-up, and likely will replace this griddle with a custom one once we can afford to have a machine shop fabricate one to our specs which will fit our stove range exactly. In the meantime, this griddle is definitely serving its purpose for our family of eight, and will be super handy for taking camping and using either on a firepit, or on our large, two-burner camp stove. Its 5/16" cast iron heats very evenly, with no warping, and creates a nice sear on meat, as well as cooking good griddle cakes. A lot of reviews of other custom griddles made of carbon steel complain about warping from heat, but we have had zero issues with this one. The price was a good value for money, and it seems to season very well, with minimal sticking. It is extremely sturdy, and is small enough to stand up on end and wash in a kitchen sink if you wanted to - which I don't, since it's seasoned cast iron, and cleans perfectly with a few ice cubes on the hot surface. I got a flat griddle scraper which also is fantastic for cleaning it. The casting has curved edges on the sides and back, and scraping food and excess oil off it is a breeze. Like all cast iron, it is prone to rusting if not seasoned properly, and I will probably get out the camp stove soon, and thoroughly season the bottom of it as well. I think this would probably work excellently as designed for a rectangular grill, which we don't have, so I freely confess we are using it as an improve on the stove top. Since our four burners share a common grate, it sits nice and level on the top, but I'm not sure how it would work on a flat glass top or ceramic range. It works very well on our gas range setup. This feel like it will last forever, and could be a heirloom piece if treated with care. It is sizable enough that storing it in a kitchen may be difficult, however, since we plan on keeping it in use on the stovetop, that isn't an issue with us. It *is* heavy (come on, it's *supposed* to be; it's cast iron), but that keep it well in place on the stove with no shifting about, even when vigorously scraping it clean. The handles are nice, but my wife says it's heavy for picking up to drain the grease, hence the earlier modification for the auxiliary drip pan. Pros: Good value for money, seasons well, has deep splash guard and nice handles. Easy to clean on the stove top, and 320 square inch (16x20) actual cooking surface is plenty sizable for a large family. Versatile for indoor or outdoor cooking. Heats evenly without warping. Cons: Inconvenient to store, and is heavy (for a woman) to lift in front of her and tip to drain the grease tray, particularly while it's hot. Handles add 3" to total length, meaning it doesn't fit in some ovens (like ours) for easy (and smokefree) seasoning.

I bought this to get in on the smash burger craze and it works great! ! I measured my grill carefully and the 23" x 16" is the perfect size for my grill. Very heavy duty cast iron that will last a lifetime. Made and designed very well. And it came pre-seasoned! Heats up quickly and cleans up easily. You won't be disappointed. Good price too.

I’ve had mine for years and it’s incredible. I take care of it but it doesn’t have a single scratch on it despite heavy usage. It’s pretty heavy but not much of an issue if lifted with caution, when it comes to storage it doesn’t really develop any rust and it can be cleaned pretty easily. When it comes to cooking with it the only thing I can say is that it doesn’t hold heat as well as I expected but it’s incredibly good while the heat source is present.

I've wanted a flat top grill for a few years, but don't like the idea of a stand alone on my back patio since the rest of the kitchen is built in. I've looked at several types of these, but they all seemed a little flimsy or would warp with too much heat. This seasoned up nicely and I was able to make great cheesesteaks and then fajitas that day. It cleaned up nicely and is definitely heavy duty. I'd buy again- but I'm sure I won't have to! This should last a lifetime (as long as my husband doesn't try to put it in the dishwasher! Lol)

Fits the Camp Chef Everst II perfectly.

High quality, heavy duty griddle. Perfect for stir frys and breakfast on the grill.

Really enjoying this on my grill. I am using it more than the normal grill grates. A real game changer. The oil trap is kind of shallow. I will probably use a turkey baster to pull oil out. You only need it if you are cooking a lot of oily food. Like 10 burgers.

Just buy 1. Easy to clean, nice and heavy so the quality can be felt when holding it, quality cast iron. Heats up perfectly and working on it is a dream. Excellent for smash burgers, bacon, omelets, and pancakes, steaks and all food types.

Excellent

This is well made and a fantastic grilling tool

I am a very fussy person. The surface was a little rough for my liking so I took sandpaper to it and then re-seasoned it. All in all not too bad of a product.

Bought this to use with my weber genesis bbq and it fits great! i love that there is a back wall and side walls so that when you're scooping things off the grill they don't go over the edge. It fits the size of the grill quite nicely while allowing the lid to close as well. The grill is heavy and we don't store it outside to keep it in good condition so it's a little bit of a workout getting it in and out but that's a small price to pay for a grill that heats consistently, is easy to use and offers a very large cooking surface! pancake breakfast done in a jiffy, lots smash burgers done in minutes..., I can now cook fish and other aromatic dishes outside without having to smell the same meal in the house all day/night.
