Frying pan, grill plate, griddle or. Many names for the same thing. Perhaps you have heard how fantastic food can be cooked on a frying pan, but have not yet acquired one for your own kitchen.
If you're unsure whether to add a griddle to your kitchenware collection, read on for seven reasons why a griddle is the perfect addition to your kitchen.
1. Versatility
A griddle is more than just a gadget. It is an essential addition to your kitchen tools that can be used on the hob, grill and even over an open fire.
With its exceptional heat tolerance, only your imagination limits how you can use your griddle – whether on your hob, grill or over the campfire.
2. Multiple heat zones
Our griddle is designed to fit over two burners at the same time, allowing you to cook with two different temperature zones simultaneously.
This means you can cook two ingredients at different temperatures at the same time. For example, you can fry a steak at a high temperature on one side and vegetables at a lower temperature on the other.
You can also divide the griddle into two heat zones if, for example, you want to cook food at one end and keep the finished food warm at the other end.
You can use this technique to cook pancakes, for example, where you fry the pancakes on one side and keep the cooked pancakes warm on the other.

3. Heat tolerance
Carbon steel is known for its ability to reach high temperatures and maintain an even heat, making it ideal for frying different types of food.
With our griddle, you can expect even heat distribution across the entire surface, allowing you to cook your ingredients evenly and precisely.
From juicy steaks to crispy bacon slices, you can expect your food to have the perfect balance of tender, juicy and flavourful textures.
4. Large frying surface
A griddle has a larger surface area than your regular pans, which means you can cook large quantities of meat, bacon or burgers at once.
The frying surface itself measures 45 x 22 cm, which you can use across two different induction zones if you don't have a large heat source.
This is ideal when you need to serve food to several people at the same time for birthdays, garden parties or other events.

5. High sides
Our griddle not only provides exceptional cooking, but is also designed with safety and functionality in mind. The high, angled sides are specially designed to keep your ingredients within the cooking surface so they don't fall off during cooking.
This allows you to keep cooking fat and oil away from the heat source, which helps minimise waste and ensures there is no risk of fire.
6. Comfort
We have taken into account that your griddle does not need to be permanently mounted on your hob or barbecue. That's why it's designed with practical handles so you can move it around with ease. This makes it easy for you to take it off the hob and onto the barbecue, or maybe even take it with you on a camping trip. So you can enjoy the delicious food that can be cooked on a griddle, wherever you are.
7. Pre-seasoned
You may have heard that itis necessary to burn in a carbon steel frying pan before it can be used.
This may be something you have already tried with a carbon steel frying pan. But with our griddle, this is not necessary.
We have done it for you, so your griddle has a natural non-stick coating that can be used immediately upon receipt.
