Investing in high-quality cookware can certainly seem intimidating-especially if you're on a budget. And while chefs and professionals rave about the benefits of pricey All-Clad and Le Creuset, there is a slew of cookware brands out there that are just as high grade without the three-digit figures.
Lodge, the Tennessee-based cast iron cookware manufacturer, brings just that, from skillets and heavy-bottomed Dutch ovens to deep woks. And right now, shoppers can snag one of the brand's beloved cast iron griddle pans for over 50 percent off on Amazon.
The pre-seasoned 10.5-inch griddle pan is ready to be used once it's pulled out of the box, conducive to all cooking surfaces including grills and campfires. Use it to sear, sauté, bake, broil, braise, and fry, and the pan is complete with unparalleled heat retention, lower side walls for easy flipping, and an extra-wide cooking surface. It's the perfect size to flip pancakes, crepes, and dosas, to brown tortillas, and to place over a hot grill to sear everything from steaks to delicate pieces of fish. Plus, the comfortable easy-grip handle makes it easy to move from high heat into the oven.
