A griddle, in the UK typically referred to simply as a frying pan or flat top, is a cooking device consisting mainly of a broad, usually flat cooking surface. Nowadays it can be either a movable metal pan- or plate-like utensil,[1] a flat heated cooking surface built into a stove or
kitchen range,[2] or a compact cooking machine with its own heating system attached to an integrated griddle acting as a cooktop.[3]
A traditional griddle can either be a brick slab or tablet, or a flat or curved metal disc, while in industrialized countries a griddle is most commonly a flat metal plate.[citation needed] A griddle can have both residential and commercial applications, and can be heated directly or indirectly.[citation needed] The heating can be supplied either by a flame fuelled by wood, coal, or gas; or by electrical elements.[citation needed] Commercial griddles run on electricity, natural gas or propane.[4]
Griddles can be made of cast iron, but there are also non-stick varieties.[2] A residential griddle may be made of cast iron, aluminium, chrome steel, or carbon steel.[citation needed] The vast majority of commercial-grade griddles are made from A36 steel,[citation needed] though some are stainless steel or composites of stainless and aluminium.[citation needed] The plate surfaces of commercial griddles can be made of cast iron, polished steel, cold-rolled steel or can have a chrome finish.[4]
