As chefs up and down the country rush to get their flour, eggs and milk to have fun with cooking by marking Shrove Tuesday, it's important to remember to use the right cookware for that perfect pancake.

While it may be traditional to partake in pancakes before the start of Lent, they are a quick, tasty and, when filled with the right things, nutritious snack solution - so having the right pan on hand all year round is a good idea.

The Lodge Logic Round Griddle, at 10 1/2'' diameter and 1/2" depth, is ideal for cooking delicious pancakes (or crepes if home chefs are feeling a bit continental).

Pre-seasoned and made from cast iron, the non-stick surface ensures minimal mess and even cooking results time after time.

Once the pancakes are ready, have fun with cooking by trying low-fat cream cheese across the pastry and adding a handful of spinach.

For those with a sweet tooth, berries, yogurt and cinnamon is a heart-healthy solution to those sugar cravings.
