Crofton Cast Iron Reversible Double Burner Griddle Review

This is the black cast iron reversible griddle with a flat face and a ridged grilling face, seasoned with vegetable oil on both sides and fitted with integrated handles.

Cast Iron Reversible Griddle vs. Aluminum Two Burner Griddle

The aluminum Two Burner Griddle with its Xylan Plus coating is a separate product. The aluminum model's cooking results, warranty and oven limit do not apply to this cast iron griddle.

Model Details and Specifications to Verify

The listing states oven safety up to 500 F. Current dimensions, weight and warranty are not published, so check the box before you buy. Older versions measured about 18 x 10.25 inches, but sizes vary by production version.

The Flat Side for Breakfast and Sandwiches

The flat face is made for pancakes, eggs and patty melts.

The Ridged Side for Grilling and Searing

The ridges leave distinct grill marks on chicken and burgers and let fat drain away. Only the ridge tops touch the food, so browning is less complete than on the flat side.

Heat Across Two Burners: Evidence and Limitations

We have no temperature map of this exact model, so we will not promise even heat. As with any cast iron plate spanning two burners, expect the area over the flames to run hotter.

Dimensions, Burner Spacing, and Weight

Measure your burner spacing first. Because the current dimensions and weight are unverified, we cannot promise a fit on a compact range.

Cooktop Compatibility and Oven Use

The older manual allows gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops, subject to your cooktop's own manual. The current listing does not mention induction, so treat that as unconfirmed. The oven limit is 500 F.

First Use and Seasoning

Wash with mild soap before first use, dry it at once, then oil all surfaces lightly.

Cleaning Both Sides and Preventing Rust

An older Crofton reversible griddle cleaned up easily after cooking. Hand wash only, never soak, and never put cold water on hot iron. Our approach to cleaning and drying bare cast iron is simple: dry fully, wipe on a thin oil film.

Aldi Pricing and Seasonal Availability

The Crofton is a limited seasonal Aldi Find, and stock varies by store. It returned for the week of January 21, 2026, which is historical availability, not a current stock claim. It sits in the budget tier.

Crofton vs. a Comparable Lodge Reversible Griddle

The Lodge Double Play LDP3 costs more but publishes its specifications.
