How would this work with the Lodge skillet/griddle Combo Cooker?

I used it for the 3-quart dutch over part of the combo cooker. It helps to keep things from sticking to the very bottom of the pan. It is difficult to clean, but in my experience with meats and such, it helps keep it from sticking directly to the bottom of the pan. Some people use it as a hot pad.

The Lodge trivet/meat rack really does not fit in the large pan of this combo -- it sits a good half inch above the bottom. It fits the skillet just fine, though -- you could flip it over and use it that way. If you want to load up your roast with potatoes and veggies (not to mention gravy), I suggest you get the 5-quart Dutch oven -- the trivet fits perfectly.

I use it over the two back burners on the stove in our trailer. It works well but allow a little time for the whole griddle to warm up for more even cooking.

We tried that. It has too much wasted heat surface, but will work. The whole skillet gets hot, not just the bottom. An iron plate, that is fairly even might work as well.

Many people have Farberware pans and pots. If I wanted the lid to fit perfectly on a Lodge skillet, I would borrow one to see if it is good enough for me. But I am not a perfectionist. The Farberware lid I bought does not match my kitchenaid frying pan, but it does do what a lid needs to do for the pan. So, I am satisfied with the purchase.

I suppose it could, but the sauté/searing function on the device itself is more than enough. I can't imagine a situation where you'd want to pull out the insert to use directly on a cooktop that couldn't be accomplished on the sauté setting.

Hello Zoe, It is cast iron and should work well. I am installing my induction cooktop next week and will try it to make sure. I have used my Lodge griddle for several years with my Viking gas range top and hopeful it will work without a hiccup on the induction as well. You should be careful to only lift to place on your cooktop as cast iron can be rough enough to scratch.

If I remember right, there is a sort of metal clasp sort of thing that you use that is built into the end of the handle in which you insert into the skillet in order for it to be secure. after you match the holes, you adjust the clasp so it secures it to the skillet.

I have not used my griddle yet, but the Camp Chef Company offers some seasoning oil that is put onto the cast iron andit is then heated up to a certain temperature and cooled down. This supposed to help season the griddle or other cast iron cooking items.

I don't know about how it would do with your skillet but it fit my circulon skillet very well. It is good quality too. I use it all of the time.

Sorry Betty. I'm no help, my experience is with an electric stove top; however, in either the Rikon owner's manual or one of the pressure cooker cook books this subject I is covered.

I am unsure. My griddle is ~1/8 or 1/4 inch too long so do your homework. I could not find the exact model of range I have so I am thinking that my poor fit is on me. I've used the griddle though and it works great even though it's not a perfect fit. I just am patient when cooking pancakes :-)

I would think it would work - this is sold as a replacement knob for Lodge cookware to withstand high oven temps.

The stove grate, griddle and grill inserts can be used in any combination - grate/griddle, grate/grill, grate/grate etc. Mix and match as you need. Very flexible system!

It works for both. The grate can be moved down for searing, and closing the lid, or raised up to get it a bit further from the heat source.

Sorry, I just know it works with my pressure cooker; I don't have a clue about anything else...

They connect griddle to lid but they do get in the way. Ours isn't greatest with heat distribution. It has one side corner that gets heat enough to cook. Hopeful it will break in and be more even cooking. But I disconnected chains as they were pain. Easy as you assemble it just done connect chains to base unit. One Chain runs from base to the cover other runs from cover to the griddle.
