Price Points: Cast iron griddle stones

Cast iron griddle stones

When the weather is really warm, we’re loath to turn on the wood-fired stove in the kitchen. For hot days like that, we invested in an induction hob. The main difference between an induction hob and a conventional gas/electric/wood-fired hob is the kind of pots & pans you can use on it.

They need to be made of material such as cast iron. Aluminium, glass or stainless steel won’t be suitable. The best way to check is to put a magnet to the base – if it sticks, you’re good to go!

We already had a few well-used & loved graduated cast iron frying pans however, after buying our induction hob, we purchased a set of cream enamel saucepans. To add to our cookery arsenal, I bought a cast iron griddle stone. It’s been great for making Welsh griddle cake, pancakes and this week’s yeasted flat breads.

We’ve listed three cast iron griddle stones below – ours is the example from John Lewis. We also love all the high quality pans manufactured by Netherton foundry in Shropshire. Just imagine cooking on a griddle from the 1800s, think of all the things that were made on it in the preceding 200 years!

  2. Black iron 12-inch griddle and baking plate: £75.65, Netherton Foundry
