Score: 80/100Rankings
The Lodge L9OG3 10.5-inch Cast Iron Griddle offers a spacious, pre-seasoned surface ideal for pancakes, tortillas, and outdoor cooking. At around 4.5 lb, it can be heavy to lift, and occasional sticking requires proper oiling. Great for home and camp cooks who value durability and even heating.
The Lodge 6-1/2 Inch Cast Iron Pre-Seasoned Skillet features a compact teardrop design with an assist handle, delivering solid heat retention for single-serve meals. Its small capacity and still-noticeable weight may restrict larger cooking tasks. Perfect for solo cooks or outdoor enthusiasts needing a portable, versatile skillet.

Professional reviewers commend the Lodge L9OG3 for its versatile, ready-to-use design, excellent heat retention, and broad heat-source compatibility, while noting the typical cast-iron sticking as a minor drawback. Its American-made heritage and PFAS-free construction add to its appeal for discerning cooks.
Everyday users appreciate the griddle's size, durability, and ability to handle breakfast staples and outdoor cooking, but recurring complaints focus on occasional sticking and the heft of the 4.5-lb cast iron piece.
