Grill pans, griddles and basting covers

Grill cookware covers the pans and accessories used on a flat-top, range or grill: Lodge cast iron grill pans, reversible grill/griddle plates, a cast iron grilling basket, cast iron serving griddles for sizzling plates, Nordic Ware grill accessories, and American Metalcraft basting covers in aluminum and stainless steel.

It suits diners, burger and breakfast lines, and restaurants that want grill marks or a sizzle presentation without a dedicated char-broiler. Browse the rest of the range on the Pots & Pans page.

Types of grill cookware

  • Cast iron grill pans: ridged pans that give grill marks on a range burner; sizes from about 6.5" up.
  • Reversible grill/griddles: Lodge cast iron plates with a ridged grill side and a flat griddle side, in single-burner and double-burner sizes.
  • Serving griddles: oval and round cast iron griddles for sizzling fajitas, steaks and skillet dishes served at the table.
  • Basting covers: American Metalcraft domes from 6" to 10" that trap steam to melt cheese and finish burgers and eggs on a flat-top; replacement knobs available.
  • Grill baskets and tents: Lodge grilling basket for small items and a Nordic Ware grill tent for holding heat over food.

What to consider when choosing grill cookware

  • Burner footprint: a double-burner reversible plate covers two burners for volume; single-burner plates suit small stations.
  • Cast iron care: season and dry after every use; keep cast iron out of the dish machine.
  • Basting cover size: pick a diameter that covers one or two patties or eggs; larger covers work for multiple portions.
  • Aluminum or stainless covers: aluminum is lighter; stainless resists denting and staining.
  • Serving use: serving griddles stay hot at the table; pair them with an underliner to protect guests and tables.

Frequently asked questions

What is a basting cover used for?

A basting cover traps steam and heat on a griddle so cheese melts and burgers or eggs finish faster and more evenly.

Can I use a cast iron grill pan on induction?

Yes. Cast iron works on induction; lift it rather than slide it to avoid marking the glass.

How do I clean a cast iron grill pan?

Scrape while warm, rinse with hot water, dry fully on low heat and wipe with a thin coat of oil.
