It is a stove top griddle. You set it across two burners (hobs for Brits), and heat it up.

You can use it for any griddled foods: pancakes, hash browns, grilled sandwiches, hamburgers, steak, and so on.

The little track around the edge is to capture any juice or fat that run off the surface without making a mess.

You season it like any other cast iron pan. It is probably easiest to do so in the oven. You only need to season the cooking surface.
