I bought a Lodge Deluxe Griddle a couple years ago. I seasoned it following the included directions and everything seemed OK. I noticed a very, very slight bow in the piece, but not bad. As I've used it though, the bow increased to the point where it is now greater than 1/4 inch, and it causes problems when I cook. The grease, batter, or other liquids flow to the ends of the griddle and as it has increased so much, the item is now nearly useless. It took several dozen uses before the bow finally stopped getting worse.
Is there any way to fix it, or should I just throw it out?

I live in Virginia. I want to buy cast iron cookwares ( not as set, but individula pieces). What are places / shop that you suggest are good for the quality as well as economical ones.
