Great griddle - perfect size for multiple burners on the stove top.
I missed having the griddle completely flat when I pre seasoned the 1st time - but it’s still a great pan. Last night we did brats and potatoes and onions which turned out great. The pan is a nice size the also fits on my Webber grill outside. I’ve never had a cast iron pan before and I’m happy we chose he Carbon Steel from Made in. ( the grill press is also really beneficial)

Carbon steel griddle perfect for vegetables and shrimp on grill
This carbon steel griddle fits perfectly on my Weber grill. Of course, I had dreams of making endless smash burgers and it does work great for that. What I'm actually doing with it the most is grilling lots of shrimp and vegetables of all kinds. We've said goodbye to rolls of aluminum foil and little cages and baskets on handles. This griddle has made it easy to cook all those little things that were difficult to handle, perhaps too easy.I've learned how to keep the griddle seasoned with high smoke point oils and this keeps the griddle in great condition and easy to clean off.I can highly recommend this griddle, just be prepared for the new menu demands.

Needs to be seasoned regularly. Premium cooking surface at a premium price.
As far as cooking performance goes, this pan performs excellently. I like to make homemade pita bread as well as homemade pizza. The oven has to be heated to 450° to 500° Fahrenheit. This pan is not as heavy as my square pizza steel. This pan does not take as long to heat as my pizza steel. The biggest downside is this is much more difficult to store, because it is so large, and the handles stick up really high. Also, I feel like I need to season it regularly, after using it to keep it looking good. This works excellently on the barbecue grill, I cannot use my pizza steel on the barbecue grill, because it takes way too long to get hot enough.Figuring out the best place to store this is the most difficult thing about it. I like to use on the barbecue, butI can’t store it there, because it will rust. Because the handles are so deep, I can’t roll it behind the couch against the wall. So, I’m currently storing it in the oven, on the bottom rack, and take it out when I’m cooking other things.There are instructions included with this pan, but they’re not very good. They use and care instructions on the manufacturer website are much better. I’m deducting one star for that. I shouldn’t have to go looking for more information on how to properly take care of a brand new item.If you have a convection oven this pan might not fit, because the fan in the back of the oven decreases the depth of the oven, making it smaller than a normal oven. I can make the pan fit, so that the door will close, if I move the oven rack all the way down to the bottom and then push the rack all the way to the back wall. If trying to cook in the middle of the oven, I pushed the rack against the convection fan, and then set the pan up onto the back edge of the rack, so the pan is actually touching the back wall. The pan is slightly angled now, but that doesn’t interfere with my cooking, because none of my items are liquid.Since the pan is supposed to be preheated before seasoning it, I do put it on my glass cooktop for a few minutes to raise the temperature of the pan while the oven is heating up. It does not require much oil/wax. So the little container that I bought at Amazon should last me a long time. I don’t know if I feel comfortable cooking on this pan on my electric cooktop, because it is so large. I don’t want the heat radiating off of this pan to damage the controls underneath the smooth glass surface.I have an extremely large barbecue grill. This pan does fit on it, and the included smashing tool is heavy, and does a really great job. I do wish the pan had removable covers to go over the handles. But it doesn’t, so I will keep using hot pads.Overall, I wish I had an induction cooktop with huge burner that I could use this on, that would make it more versatile for my needs. If I was choosing between this and a pizza steel to go in my oven, I would choose the pizza steel. Because it stores easier. If I was spending more time using the barbecue grill, instead of the indoor oven, I would choose using this over a pizza steel or other cast-iron pan. So even though it is a great product, you’ll have to decide for yourself if you could use it enough to justify the price.

Classic Cast Iron Griddle
Not quite as thick as a cast iron frying pan so it gets hot much faster. This replaces the griddle that came with my grill. It didn't have any handles so was difficult to remove I left it out too often and kept having to re-season. The handles make all the difference. I bring it in after every use. Seasoning was easy, couple table spoons of coconut oil. Wasn't sure it would fit the griddle compartment on my grill however, it works better than when I place it directly on the main grill surface. Cleanup is a breeze, just rinse with hot water in the sink.The hamburger press is also pretty amazing. It has a leather sleeve on the handle that slips on and off easily. If you've ever used a hamburger press with a wooden handle you already know this but you should take this sleeve off if you are going to leave the press on the grill. I like using the press for bacon. Keeps and flat and cooks evenly.

Awesome Griddle for Serious Cooking!
This 17" round griddle is a game changer for grilling. Heats up fast and cooks super evenly. We've used it for everything from pancakes to smash burgers and it handles it all like a champ. The grill press is a great bonus too, helps get that perfect sear. We are really happy with it!

Perfect size
First off this is very big and fits the Weber type charcoal grill perfectly. We let it preheat and actually baked a take and bake pizza on it! Also did grilled onions, peppers etc that would typically fall through the grate when cooking. Cleanup was easy . The burger press it comes with is perfect for smash burgers. Although it's a bit on the heavy side, it's a very versatile cooking surface.
