Reversible Cast Iron Griddle Rectangular BBQ Plate 43×24cm Double-Sided Flat Top Griddle Pan and Grooved Grill for Gas Stovetop Oven Black

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this griddle on my gas cooktop or do I need an outdoor BBQ?

You can use this reversible cast iron griddle on both! At 43×24cm, it's designed to fit over gas stovetops, but it also works perfectly on outdoor gas BBQs, charcoal grills, ovens, and even open flames. So whether you're cooking brekkie inside or grilling at a backyard barbie, this griddle handles it all.

What's the difference between the flat side and the ridged side?

The flat side is perfect for cooking delicate items like pancakes, eggs, and seafood where you want direct contact with the cooking surface. The ridged side has grooves that are ideal for grilling meats, poultry, and vegetables—it gives you those classic grill marks and lets fat drain away. You get two cooking styles in one 43×24cm pan, so you don't need to buy separate equipment.

How does the shipping work and what's your returns policy?

Yarra Supply offers Australia-wide free shipping on this griddle, so delivery costs aren't a worry no matter where you are. If you're not happy with your purchase, you've got 30 days to return it. This takes the risk out of ordering online, especially for a bigger item like cast iron cookware.

Is cast iron hard to look after, or is it as low-maintenance as non-stick pans?

Cast iron is actually simpler to maintain than you might think. This griddle develops a natural non-stick coating the more you use and season it—so it gets better with age. Unlike modern non-stick pans that wear out after a few years, proper cast iron can last a lifetime. Just season it regularly and avoid soaking it, and you'll have a reliable cooking tool for decades.

Will 43×24cm be big enough for cooking for a family or is it too small?

At 43×24cm, this is a generous cooking surface that's plenty big for family-sized meals and batch cooking. You can cook multiple items at once—for example, several steaks on the ridged side while pancakes cook on the flat side simultaneously. This larger size means less waiting around between batches and makes it ideal for entertaining or feeding a family in one go.

Is this griddle lighter than a traditional cast iron skillet or just as heavy?

Cast iron is naturally heavy, and this griddle will weigh a fair bit—that's actually a feature, not a bug. The substantial weight means superior heat retention and even distribution across the entire 43×24cm surface. Corner handles are designed to help you manage the weight safely whether you're moving it on the stovetop or carrying it to your outdoor setup.

Can I use this on an induction cooktop?

Yes, cast iron works on induction cooktops because it's magnetic. However, the 43×24cm rectangular shape may overhang some smaller induction zones, so check that your cooktop can accommodate the size. For stovetops and outdoor cooking, you won't have any compatibility issues.
