This cast iron griddle pan from Samuel Groves is a straightforward piece of professional cookware, manufactured in Birmingham and built to withstand the demands of consistent daily use. The ridged cooking surface covers a double-burner footprint, making it practical for cooking steaks, fish fillets, chicken portions, and vegetables in a single pass without the need to batch excessively or switch between pans mid-service.

Cast iron performs well in commercial environments because of the way it absorbs and holds heat rather than reacting instantly to temperature changes. Once brought up to temperature, it sustains a consistent cooking surface that delivers reliable sear marks and even colour without the hot-spot issues common in thinner pressed-steel alternatives. That thermal stability is particularly useful during a busy service when the pan is in near-continuous use.

A few practical advantages worth noting for kitchen operators:

  • Pre-seasoned at the factory, so it is ready to use without an initial seasoning process
  • Compatible with all hob types, including induction, gas, and solid top ranges
  • Safe for oven finishing and suitable for use over a grill or open flame
  • The ridged surface channels fat away from the food during cooking
  • Robust enough to withstand metal utensils and abrasive cleaning when properly maintained

The weight of cast iron is worth accounting for in a busy kitchen — it is not a pan that will be moved around constantly during service, and care is needed to avoid thermal shock by not plunging a hot pan into cold water. With correct use and periodic re-seasoning, cast iron cookware of this type has a very long service life.

This pan suits smaller operations, grab-and-go concepts, or any kitchen that needs a reliable, low-cost griddle option for occasional to moderate volume. Higher-volume sites running continuous griddle work through a long service may find a purpose-built flat-top griddle better suited to the throughput required.

If you are unsure whether this pan will handle your service volumes or fits the hob setup in your kitchen, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.

Frequently asked questions

Is this griddle pan suitable for use on an induction hob?

Yes, cast iron is naturally induction-compatible, so this pan works across all hob types including induction, gas, ceramic, and solid top ranges. It can also be used over a grill or open flame, which makes it a practical option in kitchens where the cooking setup varies.

How do you maintain a cast iron griddle pan in a commercial kitchen?

Cast iron requires a little more attention than stainless or non-stick alternatives. After use, clean while still warm using a stiff brush or chain mail scrubber with minimal water, dry thoroughly, and apply a light coat of oil before storing. Avoid soaking or leaving it wet, as this will cause rust. Re-season periodically if the surface becomes patchy or loses its non-stick properties.

Is this pan well suited to high-volume griddle work through a long service?

This pan is best suited to kitchens running moderate griddle volumes — small restaurants, cafés, or grab-and-go operations where the griddle is used regularly but not continuously for extended periods. For high-volume sites running back-to-back covers or sustained breakfast and lunch services, a purpose-built commercial flat-top griddle with a larger cooking surface and dedicated temperature control would typically be a more practical choice.
