Cast Iron Griddle Pan   by Lynn Porter

Those who purchase a cast iron griddle pan immediately notice the difference between it and a different type of frying pan, as these pans bring out flavor that you have never experienced previously. These cast iron grills fit over two burners on your stove, making them the perfect option for making a large breakfast. Once you have one of these pans, you can make enough pancakes for your entire family, without worrying about running out of room. The fluffy, yet crispy, pancakes are sure to be the best that you have ever tasted, which is why so many people are now choosing this option. You can also make French toast, bacon, sausage and a number of other foods at the same time, so pick up your pan today and experience an entirely different side of cooking.
Many experienced cooks use a cast iron griddle pan because they know that it heats evenly and does not stick. A pan with a seasoned finish provides the perfect cooking surface and it much safer to use than a pan coated with Teflon. These cast iron grills will last forever and many of them come with a lifetime warranty. As long as you take care of your pan, you will never have to purchase another one. Another great feature is the fact that these pans are double-sided, so you can cook on either side. One side will be smooth and one will be ridged, so you can choose a side depending on what you will be cooking.
If you are using your cast iron griddle pan for more than breakfast, you will definitely be surprised with the results. These pans are great for making things like chicken, stir-fry and even sandwiches, so you will never run out of things to make with your pan. Once you have finished, you will notice that cast iron grills can be cleaned very easily, as all you need is hot water and a cloth to have them looking as good as new. Cleaning becomes easier as the pan ages, so you do not have to worry about it getting older.
Before you begin using your cast iron griddle pan, you will have to season it with oil, which allows it to develop a non-stick surface. The more you use your pan, the better it will get and more stick-resistant it will become. When you first season the pan, you will notice it has a brown coloring. As you use the pan, it will develop a black color, which is how you know that it has aged properly. Once it gets to this point, you will notice a different in the quality of your food.
It is also possible to find a pre-seasoned cast iron griddle pan, which allows you to cook like a professional immediately. It does not cost much more to pick up one of these cast iron grills and you will not have to worry about properly seasoning it when you choose this option.
