Onlyfire Universal Cast Iron Griddle for Gas Grills and Range Oven

Our review of the Onlyfire Universal Cast Iron Griddle finds it a dependable choice for home cooks and outdoor hosts who need a heavy-duty, large cooking surface. Measuring 18.6 in by 14 in with 1.7 in depth, the griddle stands out for its ability to handle complete meals at once, from pancakes to seafood, and for its enamelled cast iron build that improves heat retention and durability. For anyone who values even cooking on gas grills or range ovens and wants an easy-to-clean non-stick surface, this griddle delivers the single biggest practical benefit: wide, reliable heat and a smooth surface that simplifies both cooking and cleanup.

Key Features

• Generous Cooking Space: The 18.6 in by 14 in surface provides enough room to cook several items at once, so you can prepare an entire breakfast or multiple burgers in one pass.
• Durable Cast Iron Construction: Made from enamelled cast iron, the griddle holds heat well and resists warping for long-term outdoor use.
• Raised Sidewalls: The 5.5 cm sidewalls help keep food from sliding off and make flipping pancakes or turning steaks easier and tidier.
• Built-in Handles: Handles on both sides allow safe, controlled movement from grill to table or storage without awkward gripping.
• Non-stick Surface and Grease Trough: The smooth enamel finish and full-width grease trough simplify cleanup and reduce flare-up risk during high-fat cooking.

Who It's For

The griddle is ideal for backyard hosts, tailgaters, and campers who use gas grills or range ovens and need a large, sturdy surface to cook for groups. It suits cooks who regularly prepare mixed breakfasts, multiple burgers, or delicate items like scallops and salmon that benefit from even heat and a smooth searing surface. The enamelled finish appeals to anyone who prefers easier cleanup compared with raw cast iron seasoning routines.

It may be less suitable for users who need an ultralight option for backpacking or those who prefer a strictly seasoned raw cast iron surface for flavor development. Also, if a perfectly flat, thin commercial griddle is required for very specific restaurant use, a specialized professional unit could be a better fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit standard gas grills?
The griddle is designed as a universal plate and fits most gas grill and range oven configurations with an 18.6 in by 14 in footprint, but users should measure their grill grate area before purchasing.

Is the surface truly non-stick?
The enamelled cast iron provides a smooth, non-stick finish that makes cooking and cleaning easier than raw cast iron, though using moderate oil and proper heat helps food release best.

How should I clean it after use?
Wipe out the grease trough and use warm water and a soft brush or cloth on the enamel surface; avoid aggressive scrapers to preserve the finish.
