About Griddles
Built-In Griddles for Outdoor Kitchens
A built-in griddle transforms your outdoor kitchen into a versatile cooking station. The flat cooking surface excels at breakfast foods, smash burgers, stir-fry, and anything else that would fall through grill grates.
Why Add a Griddle?
Griddles fill the gap between grilling and indoor cooking. Cook pancakes and bacon for outdoor breakfast. Sear vegetables without losing them to the flames. Make restaurant-quality smash burgers with perfect crust. The flat surface also makes cooking for large groups easier since you can cook more items simultaneously.
Built-In vs Freestanding
Built-in griddles drop into your outdoor kitchen island alongside your grill. This creates a dedicated flat-top station without taking additional floor space. Freestanding griddles on carts offer flexibility but require more patio real estate.
Features to Consider
Size: Griddle surface is measured in square inches. A 24-inch griddle provides roughly 450 square inches of cooking space, enough for family meals. Larger 30-36 inch models suit serious entertainers.
BTU Output: Higher BTUs mean faster heat recovery when adding cold food. Look for models with multiple burner zones for temperature control across the surface.
Grease Management: Quality griddles include rear grease channels and collection cups for easy cleanup.
304 Stainless Steel Construction
Kokomo griddles feature commercial-grade 304 stainless steel for durability and easy maintenance. Season the cooking surface as you would cast iron for optimal non-stick performance.
