Direct heat grilling and low and slow barbecue are fine methods of cooking outdoors, but nothing can replace the magic of frying food in a pan or on a griddle.
- A griddle makes it easy to cook foods that you normally have to cook in the kitchen, such as eggs, bacon, and hash browns or burgers and fries (as shown in the video above), and fried rice—just to name a few. Cook the entire meal on your charcoal grill and flavor your fries and eggs with a delicious wood-smoke flavor!
- A griddle gives foods, such as burgers, more delicious crust because the entire surface touches the steel unlike a grill where only the bars of the grate touch the meat. If your grill is large enough, you can sear foods, such as bone-in chicken, on the griddle for a nice crispy skin and then finish them over the grill.
- A griddle retains more of the juices and prevents flare-ups, making it easier to cook perfectly cooked and juicy burgers.
- A griddle is the perfect workstation for toasting bread and building sandwiches after the meat, onions, and mushrooms are done.
Little Griddle has developed a fine line of griddles built with heavy duty restaurant grade stainless steel. They are built to last, as you will see when you hold one of these in your hands.
Little Griddle is the griddle to buy when you want to invest in lasting value.
For a round grill, such as a Big Green Egg, choose the KettleQ. The professional series half size griddle is perfect for a gas grill or any kind of charcoal grill with a rectangular grate.
