I believe there is a misunderstanding of the problem. The cast iron griddles of concern are "reversible" and can sit higher above the surface, certainly higher than the effect of a silicone mat[1]. Anecdotes from others who have tried this combination show that success can be hit or miss.
No one appears to make a large, flat bottomed cast iron griddle. If I could find such a thing, we would have already bought an induction stove.
I am not worried about my other cast iron pans.

- sbradford26 4y agoAhhh didn't realize they were reversible like that. Makes sense that those would cause issues.
- aoeusnth1 4y agoI still don’t think that should be a problem. The electric fields will still be picked up by such a wide surface area.
- SAI_Peregrinus 4y agoI tried it just now with a countertop induction hob (I don't normally use it, it's for when I run out of burners on the tiny stove my current apartment has) and a similar reversible griddle[1], and it heats up without issue. Both sides work fine. [1] https://www.lodgecastiron.com/product/chef-collection-reversible-grillgriddle?sku=LCDRG https://www.lodgecastiron.com/product/chef-collection-revers...
- verall 4y agoDoes the bottom of the pan really not go above 500-600F on an induction stove? Seems quite cold compared to gas. Or is the silicone particularly heat resistant?
- dsfyu404ed 4y agoMax temp is going to vary wildly depending on the size of the pan and its ability to shed heat. The "fuck you boil now" burner on my gas stove won't get a large aluminum part above 450f but a tiny little 120v plug in resistance hot plate will get small steel parts glowing orange like the element.
