Gerber Gear ComplEAT Griddle - Portable, Nonstick Outdoor Camping Griddle - Premium Camping Cookware - Features Detachable Handle

Bought this for my son's camp cookware. He loves it!

Excellent camping griddle. Being carbon steel it's lighter than cast iron, but has all the same strengths, the tall sidewalls are actually very useful when cooking things like sausage links or hash browns etc. You need to season this pan just like you would for cast iron, but it's simple to do, it personally used grapeseed oil because of the high smoke point and the instructions actually say grapeseed is one of the best ones but you can use others as well, the handle is super secure and easily removed if you wanted to cook over an open fire, all in all this is a great griddle for the outdoors.

I seasoned this pan exactly like the oven seasoning directions say. It turned out perfectly non-stick. It’s a great size and I use it for everything as long as there’s no strong acids involved. I had to knock off one star though because it’s not perfectly flat and scrambled eggs run to the edges.

After this is seasoned it’s awesome! Super easy to clean, the overall build quality is great. Super easy to use, removing the handle is a snap. Good heat distribution. We used it for a couple of weeks before going camping to really get it seasoned.

Well made, solid camp gear.

This pan does a great job of making use of the available space on a camp stove. It heats very evenly and the lip around the edge is perfect for keeping things accessible, but in the pan. If you treat this similarly to cast iron by seasoning it and keeping it away from soapy water it will let things slide and turn easily. Our first use was great. We cleaned it and then seasoned with just a little oil. The eggs and pancakes were easy to turn and the pan did a great job of keeping the heat even on all of the cooking surface. Once finished, we wiped it out, rinsed it and made sure it got stored dry. Next time we use it I’ll oil it lightly as it heats up and be good to go. The pan is still heavy enough I don’t plan to take it backpacking, but it is lighter than a standard cast iron camp griddle and works great on my Coleman stove or my little butane one. The handle removes to make travel and storage more convenient and the silicone cover keeps it from getting too hot to handle. Just make sure you attach the handle before you try to warm things up.

I really like this pan, but the top item description next to the pictures has multiple errors, likely leading to confusion and dissatisfaction. First off, this is a CARBON STEEL griddle pan. The description says both carbon steel and cast iron, but it is definitely not cast iron. Also, the description says something about a lid, but there is no lid with this pan. The lower description paragraph is more accurate, but may cause some confusion with its mention of the pan being “non-stick.” If you have never cooked with carbon steel, read about it before buying. I love it, but it does require a fair bit of preparation and a little ongoing maintenance. It must be seasoned properly before its first use. The internet is full of ways to do this, but one word of advice- put on VERY thin layers of high temp stable oil (not butter or lard-this leaves a sticky residue). I put on a layer, then wipe it off with a clean paper towel. The tiny bit that remains is all you want on there each time you heat up the skillet. Also, I have never had any luck with the method that says to put on one layer and bake at high heat (or put on a grill) for an hour. The coating is always uneven. I prefer putting on multiple thin layers. Once the skillet is properly seasoned, cooking with it is great and the surface become fairly non-stick. The nonstick properties improve over time if you take care of your skillet. It heats much faster and much more evenly than cast iron. Clean up is similar to cast iron, so no soap and a nylon scrapper/scrubber works the best. Dry and re-season the skillet over heat after every use. The square shape helps to maximize space on a camp stove. The handle is a bit tricky to get on/off, but after the first time or two, you get the hang of it. The removable handle allows for more compact packing, which I find helpful. The pan is heavy, but nothing near the weight of cast iron.

This is a fantastic griddle which easily equal to the one I’ve had for years for home use which I believe is a KitchenAid. I could also use this at home but being able to remove the handle really makes it well suited for tent camping, especially since I unload from a car so the extra weight isn’t a problem as opposed to backpacking. I haven’t had a chance to bring it camping with me but I did test it out at home and it works great - really no different than any other piece of high quality cookware. Fit and finish of the griddle is also excellent; the handle snaps in solidly and requires unlocking to be removed and it’s sturdy with no wiggle to it. The griddle didn’t scratch in my limited use and clean up was also easy with the non-stick coating. I don’t have any complaints or issues with it, it works well, heats evenly and will be a great addition to my camp cookset, especially for breakfast use. Highly recommended if weight and size aren’t an issue for you.

We loved this griddle on our propane stove while overlanding Labrador. Just the right square size, and the removable handle is sturdy and easy to fasten and remove. Cleanup is a breeze with the non-stick coating.
