    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.

Use a clean paper or lint-free towel to wipe out any excess oil and grease. Wash the pan with warm water and a soft-bristle brush or a non-scouring sponge. For stuck-on food, fill the pan with just enough water to cover the bottom and let it simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Allow the pan to cool and then scrape the food off with a spatula. Immediately dry the pan with a paper or lint-free towel and then evenly rub a light layer of cooking oil onto the pan.
