smooth vs pebbled finish
« on: January 20, 2015, 03:40:57 PM »
Which is better for a good patina or surface, Lodges pebbled surface or Griswolds high polish finish?

  I always thought the smooth finish, but the wife says the pebbled finish is better and takes the patina or whatever it is you call it, I am having a brain cramp

If seasoned well they both cook the same. Lodge's are much easier to season as they don't typically tiger stripe or leopard spot like the smooth Griswold's can. Lodge easier to season, Griswold prettier.

have to agree with Dwayne.   if well seasoned,  either the newer Lodge or older gated skillets both cook well with no sticking.   they equally clean up well.  I cook with a modern pre-seasoned square Lodge griddle,  and an OLD gatemark skillet with a black glassy surface.   and an old "pebbly" surface something or other, and an old Wagner Ware bailed griddle.............you get the idea.  :)   all my users are well seasoned,  and get proper care.   good seasoning is the key to non stick. ;)
