Made In Cookware | Seasoned 17" Round Carbon Steel Griddle + Grill Press - (Like Cast Iron, but Better) | Professional Cookware | Crafted in Sweden | Induction Compatible

I have been a cast iron cooking devote for many, many years and when I saw this Made In Cookware - Seasoned Carbon Steel Griddle + Grill Press I just knew that I had to order it and give it a try. Upon unboxing you are presented with griddle in a cloth storage bag, the grill press in an individual cardboard box and instruction card. I ordered the 17" round griddle but instead received the 24" rectangle griddle. This turned out to be a good mistake because the rectangle griddle was a much better fit for my BBQ than the round one would have been. I having been using the griddle exclusively on my propane BBQ. What I noticed instantly upon taking it out of the box was its substantial weight. This is definitely not some thin lightweight griddle. The manufacturer claims that carbon steel is half the weight of cast iron and while it does feel somewhat lighter than a comparable cast iron griddle I can't verify that it is half weight. The rectangular griddle is 24" from handle to handle with the actual cooking surface approximately 19.5" x 10.5". It has two handles which are part of the griddle (not welded or bolted on). The handles are not insulted so gloves are necessary to move the griddle when hot. The griddle also features raised edges to keep any juices from spilling over the edge when cooking. The company logo is embossed in the griddle surface. The griddle comes pre-seasoned and this was evident as it had a small oil drip running on the surface. There is also a heavy grill press included. The grill press has a one piece construction which ensures that there are no cracks and crevices to hold dirt and dried food. It also has a removable "leather" handle sleeve to protect your hand from burns. The grill press appears to be made from a different material than the griddle but is still a very substantial and solid item. The grill press is perfect for making smash burgers. The manufacturer has also included an instruction card explaining how to season carbon steel, how to cook with carbon steel, how to clean carbon steel and do's and don'ts of carbon steel. There are also QR codes to access recipes and to register the warranty for the product. This is a good read especially if you have never used this type of griddle previously. I have been using this product on my propane BBQ and the results I have achieved are outstanding. My burgers are now at a different level than being cooked directly on the grill itself. Steaks are equally impressive when cooked on the griddle. Another upside to the griddle is that you can use it on your BBQ to cook items that previously would have been impossible to cook on a grill. I can now make breakfast (eggs, potatoes, bacon, pancakes, etc.) on my BBQ with stellar results. This is great especially in the hot summer months when you might not want to use your stove in an already hot house. Heat retention is very good with the griddle. My BBQ will be cool after use and the griddle will still be warm for some time afterwards. Overall, despite its quite hefty price this griddle and grill press live up to my expectations and even exceed them. The griddle cooks every bit as well as cast iron. Its heavy one piece construction and weight exudes a quality product. Based on my personal experiences using this product I highly recommend it. If you want to take your BBQing to the next level this griddle and grill press are definitely worthy of your consideration. RATING 5.0/5.0 The rectangular griddle is priced at $299.00 at the time of this review.

Heavy duty construction fits on the Weber charcoal grill will work on the gas grill. Excellent for gas burner stoves easy cleanup, one of my most excellent choices.

I missed having the griddle completely flat when I pre seasoned the 1st time - but it’s still a great pan. Last night we did brats and potatoes and onions which turned out great. The pan is a nice size the also fits on my Webber grill outside. I’ve never had a cast iron pan before and I’m happy we chose he Carbon Steel from Made in. ( the grill press is also really beneficial)

This is a huge disk of a grill with 2 handles on it, but it is very, very nice quality. The edges are a little pointy, but nothing dangerous or uncomfortable. It has a rough coating on it. The handles do not have any sort of heat barriers on them, so be aware to have gloves or something should you need to remove it. I was actually surprised at how thin it is, but it is still very rigid and very sturdy. It comes pre-seasoned do you can use it right out of the box, but they say that it doesn't hurt to season it more (more is better?) if you want to. They also give some nice tips for keeping it in good usable condition. I can't really say any complaints about the quality of this, but I'm not entirely sure it is worth $400. Not in the sense that the material doesn't cost that - it may be close, I don't know - but in the sense that is it really needed? I could definitely see it being useful for cooking non-grillable foods over an open fire. Like bacon and eggs or something. But given the weight and size of this, why not just bring a regular griddle. Perhaps I'm just not the target audience. But don't let that dissuade you if you are thinking about buying it because it is an excellent piece of equipment.

Beautifully made product. I will be buying more soon
