Once it's seasoned well, all you have to do is wipe it with a wet cloth or paper towel

Cleaning also is difficult because of the rough finish, even though I have seasoned it three times

After this griddle was reasonably well seasoned, and after I learned how to use it, it works wonderfully

A smooth finish on the surface of the griddle would make it easier to to establish the perfect seasoning that is the great pleasure of cast iron.

Like any Lodge cast-iron pot, this is sturdy, well-made, and nicely pre-seasoned.

It seems well seasoned, but I have to use more oil than I would like.

Once we get it well seasoned though that should stop.

I got into cast iron / outdoor cooking with Scouts, and learned how to get a good season coat on Cast Iron, which makes this griddle the best 'non-stick' cooking utensil I have ever had!

It's perfect after a proper seasoning

Yes, Cast iron take a bit of care - but once you get that good season coat on it, it becomes easy to care for

My one issue with Lodge is their pre-seasoning

The rough "pre-seasoned" finish the griddle comes with stands in the way of real natural cast iron seasoning.

This pan comes pre-seasoned.

It seemed to have ruined the seasoning

I'll be starting the proper seasoning this weekend with a large Lodge frying pan and a 2 burner griddle.

With a good seasoning on this Lodge pan, pancakes, french toast, sandwiches - even eggs and cheese slide right off!

Don't use oil, as you could ruin the seasoning and cause food items to stick.

Works great, pre-seasoned, and is USA made with a lifetime warranty

I invested several hours in smoothing and re seasoning my new pan before using-- new pans are too rough and have sharp casting flash on the edges

Once you get a good seasoning on this pan it works wonders

(I don't care for the rough finish/seasoning on the new pans/griddles)

The pre-seasoning is good and this pan has a perfect amount of real estate to fry up a half a pack of bacon at a time

Second is the pitted frying surface and last the less than adequate pre-seasoning which causes food to stick

Proper seasoning takes multiple application of oil and heating.

The season is good, and the cook is great

The pan cannot be too hot as it will burn off any seasoning on the pan

A good seasoning before use insures that you have a non-stick pan for perfect pancakes.

Excellent quality and pre seasoned, but still needs a light seasoning.

this is a great pan, my wife loves it.very well seasoned and cleans up well.

Well seasoned, but I always give a light re-season before first use

Melted cheese just brushed right off, great seasoning right from the box!

This works great, heats evenly and is well seasoned right from the start.

As always, it takes a few uses for cast iron to get well seasoned

It works as it should pebbly or not

Holds four pieces of bread easily and doesn't have the grill marks, yay!!As far as I can tell it is made very well

it was perfect, but after a few weeks use, not any more, it wobbles a
