Onlyfire Universal Cast Iron Cooking Griddle - Heavy-Duty Flat Top

Our review of the Onlyfire Universal Cast Iron Cooking Griddle finds it best suited to home cooks and outdoor hosts who want a heavy-duty, versatile flat top for both charcoal and gas grills. The single biggest reason to buy is its sturdy nonstick cast iron construction combined with extra high sidewalls, which makes flipping foods and containing juices much easier than a standard griddle. The build feels durable and resists warping, so it works well for camping, tailgating, family parties, or turning a range oven into a multi-use outdoor kitchen.

Key Features

• Nonstick cast iron construction: Provides a durable, heavy-duty cooking surface that heats evenly and is not prone to deformation under high heat.
• Extra high sidewalls: Makes flipping and turning foods easier while keeping sauces, grease, and small items from spilling over the edge.
• Grease trough: Collects drippings to reduce flare-ups and simplifies cleanup by channeling grease away from the cooking area.
• Universal fit and size: At 18.5 in by 14 in with 1.7 in height, it fits most grills and range ovens to expand cooking options without custom installation.
• Dual handles: Built-in handles on both sides make it easy to lift and move the griddle when hot or cold for safe transport and placement.

Who It's For

This griddle is ideal for outdoor cooks who want a reliable, heavy griddle for a variety of foods including pancakes, bacon, eggs, burgers, salmon, and vegetables. People who host backyard barbecues, go camping or tailgating, or who like to use a single surface for breakfast through dinner will appreciate the even heat and grease management.

It may be less suitable for those who require a lightweight, ultra-portable griddle for frequent solo travel, or for cooks who need a non-iron surface due to maintenance preferences; cast iron requires seasoning and a bit more care than some coated aluminum plates.
