Do pancakes cook well on this?

Pancakes works perfectly. What I really like about this is the price and quality. I used cheaper ones before and they were horrible. Everything cooked unevenly and this product reasonable . I made ribeye steaks on it and they melted in our mouths.. I would recommend this to anyone.

Yes great. You can do 8 at one time. Just DO NOT use anything but a metal spatula and cook over low heat. The griddle gets very hot.

It took me a couple of tries but yes, it makes great pancakes that is why I actually bought it for.

Pancakes cook well on the Lodge grill especially when I preheat the grill at medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes. There are no botched batches to throw away. All the pancakes are winners.

Yes. We cook breakfast on it, grill steaks on it, do a nice stir-fry and pretty much anything else that sounds good. It can be used for most any food and clean up is always a breeze.

Yes, I've made pancakes in it before. I cook almost everything in my skillet.

i make potato pancakes - it works great. It's a little messy so I keep a newspaper underneath the bowl

If you meant whether it needs to be covered for the pancakes to cook, the answer is no. The pancakes can cook on one side, flipped with a bamboo skewer or something and cooked on the second side.

There are instructions for temperatures to use for various types of food. I love it for pancakes, bacon, fried chicken and so many dishes.

only the center circle heats, but a good pan should disperse the heat and you do need to stir once in a while. Would not be good for making pancakes around edge of pan....I do love mine for stews, soups, sauces, etc.

No. If you want temps this low you can purchase a griddle that has a warming pan which is usually right under the regular griddle. This does not have one. This makes great pancakes but always be sure and spray lightly with oil even though it is non-stick.

I have had this griddle for six years, using it a little more frequently than every other weekend, to cook pancakes. No warping whatsoever. I too only wash it by hand.

it works well for pancakes, but i doubt that heavy viscosity fluids would pass easily. there is a professional model for about $100 that would work.

You could cook a couple of pancakes at a time using the flat plate, and a couple of waffles at a time using the waffle plates. Wouldn't be able to cook both at the same time with this (or any that I'm aware of).

Yes but the drawback is that the surface gets hot very quick causing the pancakes to burn very easy if you're not cautious. The other thing is that it does not distribute the heat evenly like the thicker teflon pans making the pancakes brown unevenly. But it's perfect for crepes. I find the anodized aluminum teflon pans beter suited for the task. But if you don't want to deal with the health risks of teflon or aluminum then this pan is the better choice. You just can't make your batter too thick otherwise you'll end up with the pancakes uncooked in the center while the outter crust is already browned.

Yes, it cooks very very well. I am very happy with its professional performance. Please note that you do have to be careful with the thermostat because it does heat the pan very efficiently.

Yes, this certainly can be used as a pancake griddle. I have done so myself.
