The Griddle Set, comprised of the Carbon Steel Griddle and the Stainless Steel press is designed to maximize the direct heat contact between your ingredients and the cooking surface, which in turn maximizes crisping and caramelizing. As a result, everything from grilled cheese to blackened snapper tastes richer, more savory, and more complex. The optional Italian leather handle covers provide comfort while carrying the Griddle or using the Grill Press. Preheat the Grill Press on the Griddle for best results. Our Carbon Steel Griddle comes pre-seasoned with a mixture of coconut oil and shea nut oil to bring the best parts of a restaurant cooktop to your home on day one. It is half the weight of cast iron but every bit as durable— so it heats evenly, responds quicker, and is light enough to travel from your stove to grill. See how this chef-loved tool will replace cast iron as your favorite kitchen heirloom.
