This is the Lodge 8-inch round griddle — a compact flat cast iron cooking surface sized for single-serving flat cooking. The 8-inch size is the traditional comal for heating tortillas, warming flatbreads, cooking a single pancake, or making a grilled cheese without bringing out a bigger pan.
It’s the pan that lives on the stovetop for anyone who cooks tortillas from scratch or regularly heats flatbreads — a flat cast iron surface holds heat steadier than a nonstick, which is why taquerías and home cooks both use cast iron comals. Pre-seasoned at the foundry and oven-safe to any temperature.
Lodge has been making cast iron cookware in South Pittsburg, Tennessee since 1896 — the longest continuously operating cast iron foundry in the United States. Every traditional black cast iron piece in the Lodge lineup is cast, seasoned, and packed at that Tennessee foundry.
