It's a great griddle for car camping. It holds about four average sized pancakes and cooks them all nice and even. A bit heavy but feels like it will last a very long time. It's my first piece of carbon steel cookware and so far I am very impressed with it. heavier than stainless or aluminum but not as heavy as cast iron. Heats up quickly and evenly, has a lip around the outside to help keep stuff in the pan. AND SO FAR... it is scratch free even though we have used it for pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage multiple times.My only dislike of this is the handle attaches in a weird way. It doesn't seem to like being removed or put back on. I also wish the handle was reversible so it can be stored with the handle over the top of the griddle but still attached.

I really like this pan, but the top item description next to the pictures has multiple errors, likely leading to confusion and dissatisfaction. First off, this is a CARBON STEEL griddle pan. The description says both carbon steel and cast iron, but it is definitely not cast iron. Also, the description says something about a lid, but there is no lid with this pan. The lower description paragraph is more accurate, but may cause some confusion with its mention of the pan being “non-stick.” If you have never cooked with carbon steel, read about it before buying. I love it, but it does require a fair bit of preparation and a little ongoing maintenance. It must be seasoned properly before its first use. The internet is full of ways to do this, but one word of advice- put on VERY thin layers of high temp stable oil (not butter or lard-this leaves a sticky residue). I put on a layer, then wipe it off with a clean paper towel. The tiny bit that remains is all you want on there each time you heat up the skillet. Also, I have never had any luck with the method that says to put on one layer and bake at high heat (or put on a grill) for an hour. The coating is always uneven. I prefer putting on multiple thin layers. Once the skillet is properly seasoned, cooking with it is great and the surface become fairly non-stick. The nonstick properties improve over time if you take care of your skillet. It heats much faster and much more evenly than cast iron. Clean up is similar to cast iron, so no soap and a nylon scrapper/scrubber works the best. Dry and re-season the skillet over heat after every use. The square shape helps to maximize space on a camp stove. The handle is a bit tricky to get on/off, but after the first time or two, you get the hang of it. The removable handle allows for more compact packing, which I find helpful. The pan is heavy, but nothing near the weight of cast iron.

This is a fantastic griddle which easily equal to the one I’ve had for years for home use which I believe is a KitchenAid. I could also use this at home but being able to remove the handle really makes it well suited for tent camping, especially since I unload from a car so the extra weight isn’t a problem as opposed to backpacking. I haven’t had a chance to bring it camping with me but I did test it out at home and it works great - really no different than any other piece of high quality cookware. Fit and finish of the griddle is also excellent; the handle snaps in solidly and requires unlocking to be removed and it’s sturdy with no wiggle to it. The griddle didn’t scratch in my limited use and clean up was also easy with the non-stick coating. I don’t have any complaints or issues with it, it works well, heats evenly and will be a great addition to my camp cookset, especially for breakfast use. Highly recommended if weight and size aren’t an issue for you.

I have the Gerber Sauté pan and love it. If I was to only get one that would be the one. Although the listing for the griddle currently of this writing shows it comes with the dome lid, mine did not. It does have the removable handle that is interchange with the sauté pan. The handle has a heat protecting grip but not on the button you press to release it from the pan. My first test after washing was to cook eggs. I wanted to see if it had an even heat base like the sauce pan. As you can see from my picture the center ring heated and burned before the edges. Now this was on an induction burner so I had to try another way of cooking for complete test. I cooked chicken on an outdoor stove with the same effect, I did have the flame up high to see if that would reach the edges. Then I cooked some asparagus. The edge is nice for holding small amount of liquids. It did clean up without too much scrubbing. The pan is well built yet I am happier using the Sauté pan.

I keep it with me just in case, even on days where I don't plan to cook. I've used it my propane, butane, Isobutane, woodfires and electric sources. It's a good heavy griddle. Of course I love the detachable handle. For me though, it does have hot spots a lot and it's not a very good non-stick surface if at all. I see it is an Amazon's choice item since I ordered mine.

The heat distribution was bad. I only used this a few times because of how frustrating that is. It was easy to clean and it's a nice size; perfect for grilled cheeses.

I’m not really sure what I like best about this, it would have to be a tie between it being made of a lightweight carbon steel, or it having a detachable handle. I was worried at first that it would be difficult to use, but it is super easy, both to use and to clean. The detachable handle also makes it easy to store, and the tall side walls and spacious area make cooking an absolute breeze when using burners. Overall it’s such an awesome pan, I would definitely recommend it and get it again, knowing that it will last an extremely long time because of its quality and durability, it’s truly a valuable piece of camp equipment for our family!
