Ornate fancy handles, awesome for cooking \u0026 display","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe late 18th Century Gate Marked long griddle has been restored from over a century of use, and is now back to life in fantastic working condition for you or as a gift for the home chef. Its a number 8 which is perfect for utility cooking AND for display with its ornate unique fancy handles that sit off the surface so they are easier to handle when over two burners. The bottom surface sits flat. The depth of the griddle is about 1 inch so it is not suited for deep frying. Its often referred to as a fish fry, or sad iron heater, as is indicative of its function, but previous customers have told us they use them for conversation starting center pieces as well! Lodge made a similar style long pan, but its not likely they used a bottom gate for their patterns.
