I am looking for a decent griddle that will work on a two 2500 watt elements on a GE Cafe induction range. Must be magnetic. Any recommendations are welcome! Tx.
Lodge makes a couple of cast iron griddles⌠but they are reversible (as are most cast iron models), meaning that they do not have smooth, flat bottoms so I donât know how well theyâll work on induction.
The only perfectly smooth bottomed cast iron griddle I recall is the Le Creuset⌠with the only downside being it is expensive.
Made In has one that they advertise as induction compatible, but I do not own it.
Yeah, but it is carbon steel and youâll get better heat retention from cast iron. Given they are pretty much the same price, I would choose the LC.
The Demeyere plancha/teppanyaki is still the gold standard.
Recall OP is asking for âdecentâ, not necessarily âbestâ.

I think the context might mean âdecentâ is better than the usual crap. When it comes to double griddles, most are crap. The Demeyere does go on sale occasionally, too.

Do you know if they discontinued it? I was searching for it and one of the hits was your testing results from 2016.
Looking at Zwillingâs website the only teppanyaki I see is the Staub cast iron.
Someone just asked this question. I think I found it for them at Berondi.

The one I got did such a heat-retaining number on my old smoothtop electric range that Iâm afraid to try it on the induction stove.

Yeah, and it even got the oven into the act.
I flipped The breaker and it cleared, but I replaced the stove within the year, because it was about time to redo the appliances.
What I call the Amazon Lemon Reviews (1 and 2 star reviews combined) are over 17%. Many complain that the âlegsâ or ridges or whatever under it, make it not useful with induction, apparently raising it up just enough that induction heating does not work well.
(âRustâ is an also common complaint, but obs thatâs not a maker problem, LoL)
I donât use it for induction, but if thatâs a problem this is why you order it from Amazaon.
Free and easy returns for 30 days.
The ad copy suggests Viking knows itâs going to be a problem on induction.
Oh, I think it clear by obfuscation that theyâre a no-go on induction, which is conspicuous by its absence.
And then thereâs âCompatible with Most Cooktopsâ

It may actually work somewhat on induction using the side with the taller sidewalls/moat oriented upward.
Bear in mind that Viking once accomplished the unthinkable: It marketed induction appliances that would not âworkâ with Le Creuset ECI.
What a WIN!!!
Okay, give, please. How did they manage this? An induction field that was too diffuse higher than 2 mm off the ceramic surface or something?
