Cast Iron Griddle for Primo Oval XL 400
Maximize the massive grilling surface of your Primo Oval XL 400 with this reversible cast iron griddle. The plate replaces one of the cooking grates and offers fantastic flexibility. One side is completely smooth and functions like a large frying pan - perfect for smash burgers, seafood, vegetables, or breakfast eggs. The other side is ribbed to give meat distinct, caramelized sear marks while the fat drains away.

Thanks to cast iron's superior ability to retain heat, you get a consistent and high temperature across the entire surface. This is the secret behind the perfect sear (Maillard reaction) that locks in juices. Since the plate is shaped like a half-moon, you can run a "hybrid session" where you fry onions and mushrooms on the griddle while grilling steaks over an open fire on the grate next to it.
Preheat the griddle well before use for the best results. After cooking, wash it by hand with hot water, dry immediately, and coat with a little cooking oil. This maintains the natural "non-stick" effect and prevents rust.

FAQ
Do I need to season it before use?
It often comes pre-seasoned, but we always recommend washing it lightly, drying it, and seasoning it with a little oil during the first heating to ensure a good coating.
Does this fit the Kamado Joe Big Joe?
This is shaped specifically for the oval shape of the Primo XL 400. Although it might physically fit in other grills, the fit against the edges will not be optimal.
