Over burner griddle

Any reason not to go cast iron?

Would be used almost solely on weekends and holidays for breakfast. I was once an exclusively eggs, meat and potatoes breakfast person but have found a new love for french toast. Making two pieces at a time in a grill pan no longer cuts it.

I found great happiness with the Lodge pre-seasoned griddle, at least when I had gas burners in the house.

Can the lodge be used with electric flat stove tops?

Just how this would be used.

Seems like it might be an inefficient use of the heat and might create varying temperatures over different parts of the surface. But for french toast or possibly pancakes I am not to worried about either and this would work better than doing multiple small batches.

Most emphatically no. Not enough surface contact with the glass discs to be of any use.

The trick is to let it heat up for a while before cooking. Eventually, the whole thing heats up and the temperature evens out. It's not perfect, but good enough.
