What do you use for your Indoor Grilling?

After you choose please report your results. I've wondered about that lodge reversable griddle that rests on two burners. So far I've gotten by with an inexpensive electric griddle for pancakes, a round lodge griddle/dutch oven lid, a square lodge griddle pan and 3 lodge fry pans.

 

Hello,
The cast iron grittle grill works great. I grew up using cast iron pans and pots.
Once they get seasoned there is nothing better. Some words of caution. When
you use the grill side of the cast iron, be very careful not to smoke yourself out
of the kitchen. You need to have the iron pretty darn hot to achieve grill marks
on fish or beef. When you finish with the iron grill, don't wash with soap. I always
use a scrubby to get the bits off, and then return it to the fire and rub it down with
shortening or oil and lots of salt. For iron pans I always rub the clean pan down with
a little oil or shortening. I have some pans older than me that absolutely nothing but
sugar will stick to.

ps: When grilling the meat, fish, or fowl, do not introduce any oil or fat to the grill.
marinate the protien or brush lightly with your choice of fat or oil.

Yes it will smoke, but, I guess thats why grills are outside. Have you considered a
small asian grill. I had a friend who had a fireplace and would put a small habachi
style grill in the fireplace and grill all winter. If you do have smoke just create a
draft through the kitchen if you can. I have also seen people mount small grills
on the ledge of apartment windows in other countries. good luck.

You're going to have ventilation problems if you try to grill meat or similar items on a cast iron stove-top grill. I have one (some third rate brand, but hey- it's cast iron and does a fine job) and believe me, if I didn't have a high-power exhaust fan over my range, the house would stink and the smoke detector would certainly go off.

 

I have had the Griddler for several months now and I love it. Steaks done outside on my tiny protable grill are still better but the ones I've done on the Griddler are pretty good too! I love the fact that the Griddler is capable of so many functions. It seems like I use it every day and I used it twice today! Also the the "clean-up" is great!

PS....I also have a Lodge grill pan (round single burner) that I have had for years and just used for the 1st time Friday. I cooked a couple of NY Strips in it and I did have quite a bit of smoking! Hope this helps.
