Great size, well built and thought out.
"Been using this pan for a few months now. . it's amazing. It fits perfectly on the infrared burner on my Napolean BBQ, and heats up really quickly. Cook bacon in it while you're cooking breakfast, throw some cut up pre cooked potatoes and they brown up quickly. Or saute some onions and peppers in butter to go along with your steak. The pan holder means you can also serve hot fajitas on your dining room table. This is a handy little pan that will help you get the most out of you Napolean BBQ."

Excellent fajita set! Very attractive and useful.
"This platter is a great addition to our BBQ arsenal. The platter is made of heavy iron that is attractive and looks durable. The accompanying bamboo base rounds out the overall utility and attractiveness. I was impressed to see the embedded magnets which enhance safety. The removable iron handle clips in well and feels secure. I will probably be buying a second set to accommodate more guests. Highly recommended."

Great cooking tool
"I got this ast iron sizzle platter. Cookinf with cast iron is a notch above due to better heat distribution. This one is exactly what you get a great heath distribution. It needs to be seasoned as any non ceramic coated cast iron cooking tool. The removable handle is very practical but is preferaby used with a heath protection sleeve."

Great features
"I had this delivered to me a couple weeks ago, I was surprised about how good the quality was. I’m always a fan of Napoleon grills. I have not tried any of their accessories till now. In comparison to some of my other fajita pans, I like this one very much due to the fact that it has a handle that separates Off of the unit."

It's ok
"I received this product free from Napoleon for testing purposes. I received the pan in good packaging and in perfect condition. My first impression was that it felt a little low quality in comparison of other cast iron products I have purchased. The surface was pretty rough and the wood trivet looks and feels cheap. I seasoned the platter in the oven before its first, use and the platter does what it is supposed to do on the grill. It heated properly and evenly. In terms of presentation, a more quality wood trivet would have been better. The removable handle does make storage easier and you can rotate the platter on the heat easily by turning the platter and removing the handle and switching sides. I personally like grill accessories that do double — or triple — duty, so if this platter was a little deeper it would have more uses like making a dip, or baking a dessert. Overall, I think that this product does as described but does not give off the high quality vibe other Napoleon products do in function or presentation."

Napoleon Cast Iron Sizzle Platter – 56008
"I received the Napoleon Cast Iron Sizzle Platter – 56008 back in May 2024. Let’s start with the unboxing. Unfortunately, when I opened the product, I found that the wooden serving plate was cracked down the middle. However, the cast iron platter itself worked flawlessly. That evening, I emailed Napoleon and received a response within 36 hours, which is impressive for a global company! On top of that, Napoleon sent me a new replacement set as well as their Napoleon Executive 3 Piece Toolset – 70036. Now, that’s superior customer service! This product has quickly become an essential part of my cooking arsenal. Here’s why: Versatility at Its Best This sizzle platter is incredibly versatile. Whether I’m grilling, using the side burner, cooking on charcoal, or even baking in the oven, this platter handles it all with ease. It’s perfect for making fajitas, searing steaks, or even roasting vegetables. Superior Quality and Durability Made from durable cast iron, this platter is built to last. The more I use it, the better it gets, thanks to the natural seasoning process that enhances its non-stick properties over time. The cast iron construction ensures even heat distribution, which is crucial for achieving that perfect sear. Convenient and Safe Handling One of the standout features is the cool-touch removable handle. It makes lifting the hot platter from the grill or oven safe and easy. Plus, the included wooden server plate is a thoughtful addition, allowing me to serve sizzling hot dishes directly from the grill to the table without any hassle. Easy to Clean and Maintain Cleaning is a breeze. After cooking, I simply rinse it with warm water and a brush, then dry it thoroughly. The cast iron material is low-maintenance and only gets better with each use. Stylish Presentation The wooden serving tray not only adds rustic charm but also makes for an impressive presentation when serving guests. It’s a great way to bring that restaurant-quality experience right to my dining table. Overall Experience I highly recommend the Napoleon Cast Iron Sizzle Platter – 56008 to anyone who loves cooking, whether you’re a seasoned grill master or just starting out. It’s a versatile, durable, and stylish addition to any kitchen or outdoor cooking setup. This product truly elevates the cooking and dining experience!"

Excellent quality but a little small
"The quality and design of this pan is excellent. I do love the how it goes from the grill to the serving tray and clean look of the tray when the handle is removed. The removable handle is a neat feature, very sturdy when it being used and very easily removed after. I do wonder if I'm going to lose the handle down the line if it gets misplaced in the kitchen. For cooking, it was easy to place on the side burner to cook up some zucchini, peppers and onions. . . which were delicious. The reason for my 3 star review relates more to the usability of the pan. The size is pretty small. I usually am grilling for my family of 4 - and even one zucchini seemed to overwhelm the pan, such that you can't stir things around without having a few items fall out. (the narrow edge does help). If this were designed for the side burner, it could have easily been an inch or two larger all around which would have made it a much more usable pan. I'll use this again in the future, but likely only when I'm cooking for 2. Overall, I would recommend this pan for small dishes, but if you are looking for a skillet for a larger side dish - I'd suggest finding a larger pan."

Sizzling platter
"This was a lot of fun for presentation when serving fajitas to the family. Everyone loved it. Seasoning was easy, nothing stuck, so clean up was a breeze with just hot water and a stiff brush. Removable handle was a plus. Made for easy storage. Would definitely recommend."
