Frequently Asked Questions About Griddles:
Should I use gas or electric?
Gas griddles provide powerful, even heating to the griddle surface, and electric models offer convenient efficiency.
What kinds of griddle surfaces are there?
Griddles use a thick metal cooking surface to distribute heat evenly. These surfaces are usually 1/2, 3/4, or 1 inches thick and are made of steel, polished steel, or chromium plated steel. Griddle tops can be either smooth or grooved. Use smooth top griddles for a multitude of cooking needs, and grooved griddles to give steaks and fish grill markings without the smoke or flare ups of a regular charbroiler.
What size is right for me?
Griddles are available in varying widths that can meet your needs. With widths ranging from 12 inches, to 72 inches, there is a wide variety of options available.
