Choose the frypan if you want something that is lightweight, easy to use daily, and offers versatility to cook delicate recipes. But if you're adventurous in the kitchen, enjoy cooking outdoors, have a larger budget and want cookware that lasts over a lifetime, choose the skillet.

    When using a cast iron griddle on an electric stove, it's important to make sure the skillet is properly seasoned.  Seasoning your cast iron griddle creates a non-stick surface and prevents rust.  To season the cast iron griddle, coat the cooking surface with a thin layer of vegetable oil and heat on the stove until it starts to smoke.  Repeat this process a few times and your cast iron griddle is ready to use.

    Using a cast iron griddle plate in the oven is a great way to get the flavor and texture of grilling, especially when grilling outdoors isn't possible.  Preheat a baking sheet in the oven over high heat and carefully add food to the cast iron griddle plate.  The high heat of the griddle will help create a delicious sear on your food, mimicking the effects of an outdoor grill.
