Brentwood BCM-33 13-Inch Carbon Steel Non-Stick Round Comal Griddle - Black, Stovetop Pan with Welded Handles
Brentwood BCM-33 13-Inch Carbon Steel Comal Griddle - Stovetop
At a Glance
- What it is: A 13-inch carbon steel comal - a flat, round STOVETOP griddle pan. It does not plug in.
- Construction: Heavy-gauge carbon steel, 1.2 mm thick, with welded handles.
- Surface: Non-stick coated, jet-black soft-luster finish.
- Size: 13 inches (33 cm). Assembled 14.75 x 13 x 1.25 in, about 1.8 lb.
- Care: Dishwasher safe.
- ⚠ Before you buy: This is NOT an electric griddle. It is a stovetop pan with no cord and no plug. Walmart also calls it a 'double burner' comal - it is a single round 13-inch pan.
A comal is the flat round griddle that Mexican kitchens have used for centuries, and the reason it survives is that nothing else chars a tortilla, blisters a chile or sears a quesadilla quite so well. Thirteen inches of heavy-gauge carbon steel heats fast, holds heat, and gives you a flat surface with no walls to get in your way.
Key Features
- Heavy-gauge carbon steel. 1.2 mm thick - it heats fast and holds temperature under cold food.
- 13-inch flat surface. No walls. Flip tortillas, pancakes, quesadillas and grilled cheese without fighting a rim.
- Non-stick coating. Food releases from a surface that would otherwise demand a lot of seasoning.
- Welded handles. No rivets to loosen and nothing to trap grease.
- Light enough to handle. About 1.8 lb - a fraction of a cast-iron comal of the same size.
- Dishwasher safe. Brentwood publishes it, which is unusual for this kind of pan.
Before You Buy
- It is a stovetop pan, not an electric griddle. The supplier title says '13-inch Round Griddle' and buyers assume it plugs in. It does not.
- It is a single round comal. Walmart titles this as a 'double burner' pan. It is one 13-inch round pan.
- Stovetop use only. Use it on the hob. Do not put it in an oven.
- Dry it immediately. Carbon steel and standing water are enemies. Towel-dry it the moment it comes out of the water.

Frequently Asked Questions▼
Does it plug in?
No. It is a stovetop carbon steel pan. There is no cord, no plug and no wattage.
Is it a double-burner griddle?
No. It is a single round 13-inch comal. Walmart's title is wrong about this.
Can I put it in the oven?
Stovetop use only.
Is it dishwasher safe?
Yes - Brentwood publishes it as dishwasher safe. Even so, towel-dry it immediately; carbon steel does not like sitting wet.
Do I need to season it?
It has a non-stick coating, so it does not need the seasoning ritual a bare carbon-steel pan would.
Care & Use▼
- Wash and towel-dry immediately - never let carbon steel air-dry or sit in water.
- Use wood, silicone or nylon utensils to protect the non-stick coating.
- Heat it gradually. Do not shock a cold pan with maximum heat.
- Stovetop use only.
- Store it dry, and lightly oiled if you live somewhere humid.

Why Choose Brentwood?▼
Brentwood Appliances has been building affordable, honest countertop appliances for American kitchens since 1941. The brand's whole proposition is that a small kitchen appliance should do one job properly, cost a sensible amount of money, and last.
Brentwood also publishes a California AB 1200 chemical-disclosure lookup covering its cookware and food-contact lines, and backs its electrics through a US service desk. That is a level of transparency most budget appliance brands never bother with.
