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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCast 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA few practical advantages worth noting for kitchen operators:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-seasoned at the factory, so it is ready to use without an initial seasoning process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with all hob types, including induction, gas, and solid top ranges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafe for oven finishing and suitable for use over a grill or open flame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ridged surface channels fat away from the food during cooking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRobust enough to withstand metal utensils and abrasive cleaning when properly maintained\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Samuel Groves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58198906798462,"sku":"JC895","price":123.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1753\/9017\/files\/jc895_npi25-4.jpg?v=1791825881","url":"https:\/\/www.advantage-catering-equipment.co.uk\/products\/samuel-groves-cast-iron-double-burner-griddle-pan-45x25cm","provider":"Advantage Catering Equipment","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
