How is COOKLIFE cast iron different?
COOKLIFE cast iron skillets use a machining process modeled on the best of vintage cookware, precisely dialed in to be as smooth as possible while leaving just a touch of texture on the cooking surface to hold a great seasoning.
Does COOKLIFE cast iron come pre-seasoned?
Yes! We deliver a pan that is ready to cook out of the box with a great cooking experience. Our naturally non-stick cooking surface comes from three coats of grapeseed oil preseasoning. No teflon, no dirty tricks.
Do COOKLIFE skillets work on induction & electric stoves?
They do! We have a clever feature on all COOKLIFE cast iron skillets—a heat ring! It is designed to make sure the Skillet remains balanced as it heats up on glass or ceramic flat cooktops and won’t interfere with cooking
Isn’t cast iron supposed to be heavy?
Our research found the Goldilocks zone to be 4 to 4.2 lbs for a 10.25 inch skillet. Anything above this zone only makes pan harder to maneuver without adding cooking performance and anything below makes the pan more susceptible to warping or breakage
Enjoy health and life

Good cast iron griddle
**Edit 7-22-2025 I have started using this to cook the Pillsbury canned biscuits, the 8 fit perfectly and they brown so evenly in this pan in the oven, plus they stay warm a long time if left in the pan to serve. Pan is still smooth and looking good too.I purchased this griddle in May and waited to write a review until I had used it a while.I like the short handles because they take up less real estate on an already crowded stove top and I can turn it when needed without worrying about the handles covering up my other burners.I have cooked bacon, steak, hotdogs, pancakes and eggs on it. I used it dry to toast bread.It is a nice pan with a good smooth finish, although nothing spectacular. It is like normal cast iron, it needs a liberal amount of grease to keep it non stick. When you wash it it needs to be dried and it doesn’t hurt to wipe it down with an oiled paper towel, but I don’t always do that and it hasn’t rusted at all.The bottom is heavy enough that it doesn’t warp, but it does not spread the heat from a small gas stove burner as well as a much heavier pan. All of my pans heat more in the center, but that’s just the nature of our gas stove burners, they just heat a circle in the middle.Most things easily cook without sticking except bacon, but that sticks in any of my other cast iron pans too. Something about the sugar in it I suppose. It isn’t bad, and a scrape with a thin metal spatula frees it up pretty quickly, unlike my other cast iron which I have to throw water in while it is hot to steam the bacon film off.One other bonus is it fits on my other Cooklife Frying pan as a lid so it can be used as a bit of a shallow dutch oven. I haven’t tried it to cook pizza on yet, but that was something I really think it will do good at as it can be preheated in the oven to a good temperature before putting the pizza on it.It came in a sturdy box and the scrubby cloth was a nice bonus, it does work pretty good on all my dishes.

This is the Real Deal untreated best nonstick and perfect griddle surface, above all others!
Now this is the real deal, all the way. This griddle is beautiful, very smooth and it arrived already seasoned. It was suggested that we need to do more seasoning (a couple of additional treatments) to get the best nonstick surface. I did that using avocado oil on the griddle, on the stove top. Then I put it to the test. Results? Absolutely nothing sticks. Better than all of the coated nonstick surfaces I have used. I couldn’t be more pleased. Cast iron and now polished cast iron, even better. People need to know.

Poor seasoning
I was very disappointed with the seasoning of this pan. Even with an extra layer of oil my biscuits still stuck. Otherwise it was a nice pan. It just means extra work for me.

You need to get this pan!
This is an awesome pan! It is incredibly smooth right out of the box. They have done an excellent job sanding it down, no shortcuts. Light weight, it is truly a pleasure to cook with. You will not be disappointed!!
Mr. K. R. Ballard –
Very pleased with this product, good quality and very useful.

Wird schnell heiss. Die Hitze verteilt sich gut und es bleibt auch kaum was haften. Nach der Reinigung gebe ich ein paar Tropfen Öl drauf und verreibe es mit einem Tuch. Aber Achtung: Die Pfanne ist schwer und die Griffe werden heiss.
