Utheer 25" x 16" Pre-Seasoned Nonstick Cast Iron Griddle for Gas & Charcoal

I used this inside a 20x40 cook chamber in an offset smoker. 1st picture is it sitting in the pit. Weighs about 20 lbs, very sturdy. Definitely has nonstick coating over cast iron. Watched youtube videos about nonstick/ceramic griddles. Learned important stuff. Keep temps medium, like you would any nonstick pan. I put it over 1.5 chimneys of briquette charcoal and it got hotter than I even expected it to. Even heat, tremendous heat retention. It stayed hot enough to cook on for well over an hour. No warping, no peeling. I cooked 4 burgers and mushrooms as a test run. Came out awesome. Picture 2 is during cook. Picture 3 is burgers pushed to side jut to melt cheese. You can have a cooler spot if you leave an end over part with no charcoal. Took 4 minutes/side then about 90 seconds to melt cheese. Another tip from videos: only use silicone/nylon utensils. Pit Boss makes a nice set for under $40 on Amazon. Steel utensils may scratch the nonstick. May not, but I don’t want to chance it. The silicone stuff worked great. The no stick surface performance was excellent. Cleanup was incredibly easy. Only challenge was waiting long enough for it to cool. Picture 4 is after just using a nylon scraper to push stuff into grease trough (youtube hack: put paper towels in grease trough and it makes cleanup even easier. When it was just warm to the touch I wiped it with a paper towel and it looked like it just came out of the box (picture 5). That was all I did to get it to look like that, wiped it with a paper towel. You can wash it like a pan if you need to. No need to season, you can wash it with disb soap, it’s strong and sturdy. Great non stick, even hear with greatheat retention. I think the negative reviews either got lemons or there was user error. Excellent option to convert a charcoal pit to a griddle, and good alternative to the rolled steel griddle tops (which are also awesome when used properly) because if the nonstick. Super easy cooking and cleaning. I recommend. Especially if you take a little time to educate yourself on how best to use this type of surface

This grill is amazing! We used it on our outside barbecue to make cheesesteaks & the size was perfect! I highly recommend this one .

Fit our grill perfectly. Fish cooked great!

Very good quality, and works wonderful.

Someone said that "this griddle doesn't retain heat". I'm not sure if their review was for this specific model described here. But baby when I say it retains heat!! It retains heat. It also heats up quickly, its sturdy, it has handles for easy carrying. The only reason that I gave it 4 stars is because it slides easily. Keep in mind, I've only used it on my kitchen stove. And while using it, if I push like vegetables using the spatula too hard, it slides a bit. I wish there was some sort of heat proof grips that keeps this from happening. I like it so much, I'm not sending it back. I just hold on to it with an oven mitt, if I see it sliding. Otherwise, I love it!

I have been using this griddle for about 18 months now about 4-5 days a week. I have Blackstone type stand alone griddle that is an absolute pain to maintain, with all the cleaning and seasoning it requires. This griddle with its non stick coating is very easy to maintain, after I cook I use a dry paper towel to wipe off the big stuff followed by a wet paper towel to give it final clean. Total cleaning time is about 3 min. Love it. After 1.5 years and some unintended abuse, ( Temps up to 600 degrees) it is still in pretty good shape. It has a few scratches but overall quite good. I have just recently purchased a new one from Utheer with the new ceramic coating and while I have only used it for a couple of cooks I like it very much. Surface is so slick it's hard to flip the food as it just slides away from the spatula. It is even easier to clean than the original.

Wow...is this thing heavy and well built. It is the perfect size for my Weber grill, but a good thing I also took some measurements before ordering because no way can you just eye it. I've seasoned it and used it once and it was great. Very easy clean up and will be used regularly. One thing to keep in mind, once heated up, this is very dangerous to handle because it is radiating heat like crazy and what ever you do, don't use anything plastic on it. Now that it's properly seasoned, it's a great piece to have when grilling. Use and cleanup is a snap. I hope to get many years of use out of this and I believe I will.

I wanted so badly to love this thing!! The safety issue.. After a few uses (and I mean just a few..) it began to rust in spots, and I am unable to clean the rust without whipping out the power tools.. I don't want to do that because I'm pretty certain it's not Cast Iron underneath and I don't care to try to recoat this thing. Anyway.. at this point I doubt that it's safe to eat food that's been cooked on it. Besides the quality issue.. there are a couple of things to consider if you're thinking of buying one. This griddle will take a lot of care to keep it from rusting. You will need to store it in the house after each use. If you leave it outside for any amount of time it will rust. You will need to bring it inside clean it and coat it with oil. This is easier said than done because the thing is heavy! It is also pretty large.. (at least the one I bought..) So it's not practical to use as a bring it out when you need it type of cook top. My thought was that it would live inside the grill. This won't work because it will rust before you can blink an eye!! Another thing to be aware of is that though it has a drip tray at the front edge.. You will need to lift the whole cook top out of the grill to drain and clean it out. And again.. Heavy! So.. I'm not saying not to buy one.. Just know what you are buying. If this was an item I could cook on, give it a wipe down with some oil and leave it in the grill, I'd love it. This is NOT that!! In all honesty I would almost be tempted to buy another one now that I know what it would take to make it last... but I know I'm not that vigilant and It wouldn't take more than a night left on the grill without the proper care for things to go south. I'm reluctantly giving it a star back because I suppose you could make it work... You'd just need to be obsessive with it's care.

exellente qualité

Use on my gas stove

Using in a sandwich shop. It’s very good but will only probably last about 4/5 months. Still worth the money though

Great hot plate, cleans easy while still hot. Cooks food brilliantly especially smash burgers.

The only reason for 2 stars was because it came damaged. Other than that its good value
