This carbon steel griddle pairs a durable steel base with a BPA-free PTFE non-stick coating, so food releases easily without needing extra oil while the plate still handles temperatures up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit on gas or electric heat. The 20 x 15 inch cooking surface has enough room to grill breakfast or dinner for the whole family, and a grease trough with drip hole keeps oil from pooling under your food while raised sidewalls stop spills from running off the edge. An x-shaped reinforcement underneath the 11-pound plate keeps it from bowing under heat, making it a steady base for a BBQ grill, camp stove, or tailgate burner. Because of the non-stick coating, it's best cooked on with wooden or silicone utensils and cleaned with a soft sponge rather than abrasive pads, and the griddle should never be left to dry-heat empty or rinsed while still hot.
