(More customer reviews)I am writing this review with the hope that this will help further researchers. I bought this product that did not have previous reviews in amazon. I was looking for an option to cook meats (steaks, chicken, porks) in my apartment. I do not have access to an outdoor grill. I bought an electric grill some months ago. Altough it did a fair job (Zojirushi) I found the meet would not be evenly cooked: it would be mostly burned outside and raw inside or dry all over.
I have a glass top stove and my concern about this olvida grill/griddle was if this iron cast would be suitable for my stove (would it scratch/damage the stove top?). The other question was if to buy plain cast iron products (like lodge) or go for this nickel covered iron grill.
Well let me tell you I have been using this grill/griddle in my glass top stove w/o problems. Of course, do not pull/drag it once it is on the top (it is heavy and it would scratch the top). But if you a standard care, there should be not problem.
Second: this thing is heavy. Just keep in ming this is an investement for life. Although more expensive than other items made from steel, aluminium or plain cast iron, I would say the benefits outweight the initial price. We have noticed the meat just taste "better" when using this grill. for some reason is bringing to my tste buds some flashbacks of my childhood (my mother cooks with iron cast pans/grills). Now I realize that what you use to cook DOES MATTER. It has come to me as a divine revelation! Now I am switching all my cookware to iron cast (salvation army got my teflon aluminium leaking cookware).
If the nickle cover is worth the money, that I am not sure yet. I can say there is no rust and that you can scratch the grill with a knife or similar to "completely" clean it without causing peeling (hate that teflon!). If the cost would not be that hight I would buy the rest of my cookware from olvida. However at this time I am getting some ittems from lodge as well, that I consider a risk cause I know olvida "would just work". Being this grill the biggest cookware I will be buying I do not regreat getting the olvida, though.
The Zojirushi electric grill is already living from its 401k (retired) and the outdoor grills will have a hard timr to get my attention and money, as now I can get perfect steaks in the peace of my kitchen.
I can not wait to make a rice with chicken in my new iron cast pan.
I hope this review helps you.
