I know there are lots of electric pancake makers around but I have to say I like to make them in a proper pancake pan and I was introduced to this one a few weeks ago. It would be unfair of me to keep it from you - it’s brilliant for doing the Leek Pancakes Recipe. The Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned 10-1/2-Inch Round Griddle is a fairly hefty Cast Iron pan but it is preseasoned so there’s no problem there. You would be well advised to handwash and dry it but it’s not too much hassle and a pan like this is worth taking care of. It’s not fancy, it’s not even particularly pretty but it is a great pan - I had to laugh at one of the reviews I saw on Amazon …

“I’m a lousy cook and I love pancakes. I’ve always had to go to a restaurant to get a decent pankcake because I never figured out how to make them right.

But when I got this Griddle I started turning out perfect pancakes every time! There must be something about iron. I’ve never had any iron cookware before. And the size is just small enough so it’s not too heavy, but the flatness allows me to make a “short stack” of pancakes all at once.

This is the most joy that $12.00 has brought into my life in a long time. And, I’ll save a ton of money over the rest of my life not going to restaurants to get pancakes!!”

All I can say is - I agree!
