Napoleon's Reversible Cast Iron Griddle is the perfect addition to your outdoor kitchen.The 13-inch by 17.75-inch (33 x 45.1cm) cooking surface is perfectly proportioned for our Prestige™/PRO® 500 series and LEX 485, 605, and 730 grills. Turn your grill into a breakfast station. Caramelize onions while you cook your burgers. Grill your favorite sandwiches, Panini style, on the reverse side of the griddle. The possibilities are endless for the Reversible Cast Iron Griddle.
This dual-sided griddle dramatically expands your grill's versatility by providing both a flat griddle surface and a ridged grill surface in one accessory. Replace your barbecue grill cooking grids with the 2-Sided Porcelain-Enameled Cast Iron Griddle or place directly over cooking grids for the ideal flat surface for cooking on the barbecue grill. The reversible design means you get two cooking surfaces in one tool, maximizing value and functionality.
Use the flat side to grill a-la-plancha style, ideal for seafood, high heat searing and Mediterranean style cooking. Plancha cooking—a Spanish technique using a flat metal surface—creates exceptional searing on delicate items like fish, shrimp, and scallops that might fall apart on traditional grates. The flat surface also excels at high-heat searing for steaks and chops, creating beautiful crust without the meat sinking into grate gaps. Mediterranean vegetables like peppers, zucchini, and eggplant cook perfectly on the flat surface with excellent caramelization.
The flat side of the cast iron reversible griddle is ideal for caramelizing onions and cooking breakfasts on the barbecue grill. Transform your outdoor grill into a breakfast station for eggs, bacon, sausages, pancakes, and hash browns. The consistent, flat cooking surface ensures even heat distribution for perfect results. Caramelize onions slowly for burgers, fajitas, or toppings while your main proteins cook on the other side of the grill. The griddle becomes your prep surface and cooking surface simultaneously.
Get perfect sear marks with the raised side of the reversible cast iron griddle. The ridges create those professional-looking parallel grill marks that signal quality and attention to detail. You can also grill sandwiches panini-style on the ridged side—the raised ridges compress sandwiches slightly while creating attractive grill marks and crisping the bread. Use the ridges for vegetables when you want those distinctive char marks, or for steaks and chops when traditional grates aren't available.
Season it like you would your grandmother's cast iron frying pan—the black cast iron with porcelain coating gets better every time you use it. Through regular use and proper maintenance this griddle will season just like cast iron cooking grids and your favorite frying pan for a long lasting, nonstick surface. The porcelain enamel coating provides a head start on seasoning, making the griddle ready to use right out of the box while also protecting the underlying iron from rust.
Integrated holes direct grease away from food for easy, mess free, healthier cooking. The convenient little holes in the top allow grease to drain away from your food, resulting in crispier bacon, less greasy sausages, and healthier overall cooking. The grease drains through the holes and falls either onto your grill's drip tray system or through the grates into the drip pan below, keeping cooking surfaces cleaner and reducing flare-ups.
Cast iron's exceptional heat retention creates consistent cooking temperatures across the entire surface, eliminating hot spots and cold zones. The material holds heat so effectively that even when you add cold food, the temperature recovers quickly. This thermal stability is why professional kitchens rely on cast iron for griddles and cooking surfaces. The 13-inch by 17.75-inch size provides substantial cooking area—enough for a family breakfast or sides for multiple burgers—while still fitting perfectly on Prestige PRO 500, Prestige 500, and Built-In LEX series barbecue grills.
After cooking, allow the griddle to cool slightly, then clean with hot water and a brush. Avoid harsh detergents that can strip seasoning. Dry thoroughly and apply a light coat of cooking oil to maintain the surface. Store in a dry location. With proper care, this griddle will last for decades while improving with each use.
