The Lodge rimmed oval serving griddle

This is the Lodge rimmed oval serving griddle.

It's the same diameter as the fajita pan, but the serving area is 30% less, for portion control.

If you've seen a standard sized fajita pan, you know that the serving area isn't that big to begin with.

I can't imagine that this pan sells very well. I think it's hideous.

Lodge has been increasing their "serving ware" line, and aggressively marketing to restaurants.

In fact, their standard products, the wonder skillet and 6 inch skillet, have been placed on wood underliners and rebranded as serving ware.

I'm sure it's lucrative; Serving on cast iron is attractive, and keeps the food hot.

I wonder what is actually served on this plate?

I can't imagine steak, since you need room for cutting, and for your steak sauce.

Whatever it is, not a whole lot of it. When I go to a restaurant, I want my money's worth!

I saw a picture of this pan outside of the wood underliner; It's even uglier that way.
