Cast Iron Pan vs. Cast Iron Griddle

[Lady TS]

I came so close to getting a cast iron grill pan at Aldi (I did get a red enameled cast iron 5 quart dutch oven :heart)

Is there really a difference between cooking a burger or steak in a cast iron pan vs on a cast iron griddle?

I actually prefer cooking burgers in the pan. Here is why...for the BEST burgers::

- cook for 5 minutes in the cast iron pan on the stove top, flip and immediately
- cover and put in a preheated 350F oven for ~5-8 minutes
- remove from pan (to stop overcooking)

They are the most perfectly cooked, juicy, awesome burgers ever. Can't do that with a griddle. :no ;)
