rectangular cast iron skillet

One of the primary advantages of using a cast iron griddle plate is its superior heat retention. Unlike standard grilling grates, a cast iron surface can reach and maintain higher temperatures for longer periods. This quality is particularly advantageous when cooking foods that require a consistent and even heating, such as pancakes, eggs, or sautéed vegetables. The griddle’s surface allows for precise temperature control, ensuring that your food cooks evenly without the risk of burning or undercooking.

One of the standout characteristics of cast iron is its ability to retain heat. When preheated, an extra large cast iron skillet can reach and maintain high temperatures far better than traditional non-stick or stainless steel pans. This feature not only allows for even cooking but also creates the perfect sear on meats. The lid plays a critical role here too; it traps heat and moisture, ensuring that everything cooks evenly and reduces cooking time.
