Cast iron cooking griddles are versatile and essential tools for any kitchen or outdoor cooking setup.  Whether you want to grill steaks, pancakes, or roast vegetables, a cast iron cooking griddle is perfect for delicious results.

Uses Of Frying Pans

Steak Weight: A cast iron steak weight, also known as a steak press, is used to flatten and sear meats such as steaks, burgers, and poultry. It aids in achieving uniform cooking and creating appealing grill marks while locking in the juices and flavors of the meat.

The details: These pans solve the frustration of food sticking, and they require little oil for cooking. Plus they’re lightweight, easy to clean, and affordable. But they can’t take the high heat of a cast-iron or stainless steel frying pan. “You’re not going to get much of a sear in a nonstick pan,” says Cindy Fisher, who conducted Consumer Reports’ cookware tests.

And they don’t last as long as cast-iron, stainless, or copper frying pans. “Nonstick is going to wear out the fastest,” Nitahara says. “The nonstick coating is fragile, and once you scratch it, it’s hard to flip an egg.”

In our tests of nonstick pans, we cook four eggs in quick succession. An excellent rating means all four eggs easily slid out of the pan. A poor rating indicates that some egg residue was left behind. To test nonstick durability, we rub the pan with steel wool for 2,000 strokes or until the coating has worn through.

Cast iron is usually what you think of when you mention the word “skillet.'' Cast iron is heavy, and it can be hard to maneuver in the kitchen. However, many people love cast iron because it can retain heat. Newer pans will need to be seasoned with a light coating of oil. After the pan is seasoned, cast iron has excellent non-stick abilities. 

Flavor Enhancement: By pressing meats during the cooking process, bacon presses and steak weights help to enhance the caramelization and browning of the exterior, resulting in richer flavors and appealing textures in the finished dishes.
