FAQs
Do I need to season the griddle pan again after I buy it?
The Taylor & Brown Reversible Cast Iron Griddle Pan comes pre-seasoned and is ready for use. However, regular maintenance by lightly oiling after each cleaning helps maintain and improve the non-stick seasoning over time.
Can I use metal utensils with this griddle pan?
While cast iron is durable, it is best to use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils to protect the seasoning and prevent scratching the surface, especially during the initial seasoning periods.
How do I clean the ribbed side effectively?
For the ribbed side, use a stiff brush to dislodge food particles. You can also use a scraper or pour hot water onto the warm surface to help loosen residue before brushing.
Is it safe to put this cast iron griddle in the dishwasher?
No, never put cast iron cookware in the dishwasher. The harsh detergents and prolonged moisture will strip the seasoning and cause the pan to rust.
What is the best way to store my cast iron griddle?
Ensure the pan is completely dry and lightly oiled. Store it in a dry place, ideally with a paper towel between the cooking surfaces if stacked, to prevent moisture buildup and protect the seasoning.
Can I use this on an induction cooktop?
Yes, this griddle pan is fully compatible with induction hobs, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops.
Troubleshooting
Food sticking to the surface.
Ensure the pan is properly preheated before adding food. Re-season the pan if the non-stick properties have diminished. Use adequate cooking oil.
Pan has developed rust spots.
Scrub the rusted areas with steel wool or a wire brush until the rust is gone. Wash, dry thoroughly, and re-season the pan completely.
Uneven heating.
Ensure the hob burner is centered correctly under the griddle. Allow sufficient time for the entire cast iron surface to preheat evenly.
Difficulty lifting the pan.
Always use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves to grip the built-in side handles, as they will become hot during use.

Care and Maintenance:
To maintain the natural non-stick surface and prevent rust:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean while the pan is still warm (but not hot) with hot water and a stiff brush or non-abrasive sponge. Avoid using soap or harsh detergents, as they can strip the seasoning. For stubborn food residue, you can gently scrape with a wooden or plastic spatula.
- Drying: Immediately and thoroughly dry the griddle pan with a soft cloth after washing. It is crucial to prevent any moisture from remaining on the surface.
- Oiling: Once completely dry, apply a very thin layer of cooking oil (like vegetable or canola oil) to the entire cooking surface with a paper towel. This helps protect the cast iron from rust and maintains the seasoning.
- Storage: Store the griddle pan in a dry place. If stacking with other cookware, place a paper towel between them to protect the surface and absorb any residual moisture.
