Seems extremely cheap, but a few cooking blogs I read say they are good. I bought a Chasseur Griddle years ago and it was >$200 so at $15 worth a shot!

Description:
Suitable for all heat sources
Durable 3 layer enamel coating
Griddle includes raised grill bars

Cast Iron Cookware
Cast Iron cookware is durable, practical and beautiful
Cast Iron has excellent heat retention making it perfect for slow cooking
The tight fitting lids retain moisture while cooking which helps keep food warm until you're ready to serve

There are dutch ovens, roasting pans etc. too

    I have a griddle pan from one of Aldi's previous sale (not quite the same colour but I think it's the same thing) and it's been very good for cooking steak IMO. I'm not professional cook but it has served me well.

    I don't see the reason to pay 10X the price for a branded griddle because I think they all do the same thing.

      My baccarat cast iron was only $59 and has a ceramic finish. These were not as good. U need more oil to cook.

    Yup i have the dutch oven thing, very2 good. the meat seal up properly and very tender (seal the steam off)

      In my share house we have a medium sized Aldi dutch oven, and large le creuset and le chasseur dutch ovens. The enamel on the Aldi one has cracked quite a bit, the Le Creuset has worn away a little ( it's had the most use ) and the le chasseur still looks pretty mint.

      I would think the griddle would be exceptionally good value ( just make sure you season it properly ) but the enamel on the frypan will probably wear very quickly.

      • [Deactivated] on 27/06/2013 - 14:26

        SEASON it! Thanks for the reminder, completely forgot.

          Ugh lighten people geez!!!

  • [Deactivated] on 26/06/2013 - 16:40

    The tight fitting lids..

    Do they come with lids?

  • somematt on 26/06/2013 - 16:43

    Anyone know how long it takes these types of things to sell out in the average Aldi? Worth making a trip this evening?

    Bought one of the Dutch ovens this morning, returned it as it was chipped. Had to go through 5 boxes before I found one that wasn't chipped! So just beware.

    • Aids on 26/06/2013 - 17:57

      Maybe it was you at Epping I saw going through every box, or another dissatisfied customer?

      • baycie on 26/06/2013 - 20:07

        Another dissatisfied person! I was at the Bribie Island store in QLD.

  • javava on 26/06/2013 - 17:00

    can't add to shopping cart now….

  • uncyspam on 26/06/2013 - 17:03

    Just went to my local (Queanbeyan) and they had 3 half filled pallets of griddles, dutch ovens and roasting pans, and a small amount of french pans.

    They also had Copper Saucepan sets for $120, which seemed too cheap for words, and reasonable Solingen Steel Utility knives for $20

  • Cheap Steve on 26/06/2013 - 17:15

    The frypans are great but bloody heavy.

    • Kamsi on 26/06/2013 - 17:23

      That's why I hesitated to get one.

        The Heavier the better when it comes to frying pans!

    I suggest people to read through this before considering.

        Whattayoumean. These cast iron anything weigh a deadset tonne.

  • hamwhisperer on 26/06/2013 - 19:03

    This is quite relevant - regarding griddle pans.

    My local store had heaps of these in stock, picked up the griddle pan :) in blue

    Just cooked dinner in new frypan, worked well. Matching griddle pan from last year is still going well too, very good for $15!

  • Iqs on 26/06/2013 - 20:36

    Got one of the dutch ovens last year and the knob came off the lid after a few weeks of normal use. Rather surprising the German design of this simple appparatus could be this bad. You got what you paid for I guess.

  • freemoneyhunter on 26/06/2013 - 22:56

    WOW, is that real Cast Iron?

    Another happy Aldi frying pan customer here I love mine but yes they are very heavy. No reason to own anything else I use mine almost everyday!

  • Nynaeve on 27/06/2013 - 08:30

    I have a big pan with a lid, not sure what its called, bought from Aldi well over a year now and the enamel on the inside is in perfect condition and on the lid I have a big enamel chip because I dropped it a couple of times. The handle on the lid loosened after I dropped the second time so I just tightened it. It is really good to use I would buy something else from that range with no hesitation only my cupboards are chockkas now as it is.

  • wickedcherub on 27/06/2013 - 09:24

    I bought these a few years back and I hardly ever use them because they're so heavy. It's just a pain to cook with or to wash.

  • adr8 on 27/06/2013 - 14:41

    Got the griddle pan and Dutch oven, has anyone followed the instructions and seasoned the pan or isn't it necessary?

    • Geewhizz on 03/07/2013 - 13:30

      I did, but the instructions didn't say to do so, they simply stated that it should be washed in soapy water and dried, prior to use.

      At $15 the griddle was a great buy.

  • OzBargainingPower on 27/06/2013 - 15:53

    Checked box hill store no griddle pans already

  • chillipaste on 30/06/2013 - 22:41

    The Pines in Templestowe/Doncaster still has some

  • nickj on 02/07/2013 - 19:29

    Got one, but FYI it's not dishwasher safe. Apparently nothing cast iron is, but does mean I'll use it less than if that weren't the case.

  • dorothi_toto on 04/07/2013 - 20:54

    does anyone know if this is available anywhere in Sydney?

  • sourdawg on 26/07/2013 - 10:22

    These are on clearance at Preston, VIC Aldi for $9.99 now
