Gourmet BBQ System Griddle, Schwarz

I bought this item to go with my Weber Performer Deluxe charcoal grill. I had been wanting a griddle surface for my grill, but was not motivated to solve that problem until my current grate insert began to wear out. My debate was between buying this griddle insert or completely replacing my grill grate with one of the griddle tops from Arteflame. I decided to go with this insert as a lower cost option to test out my usage. I'm glad I did as this has become a regular part of my grilling. I've found that it's the right amount of surface area for griddle vs. grate when I'm grilling almost anything. ie: I have room for cooking burgers around the outside of the grill while roasting vegetables or baking a cornbread in the middle griddle. Things like that. Btw...searing a good steak in butter on the pre-heated griddle makes some of the most fantastic steaks I've grilled. Like: Fit is great. Versatility is high (I can even use it in my oven or induction top if needed). It's sturdy and feels substantial in your hands. Surface was seasoned, I further seasoned it and it's been great so far. Dislike: Nothing so far. It seems like it will hold up to the kind of heat I put to it as long as I take care of it.

Dose a good job cooking the vegetables on the grill. I’ve used it to make eggs and bacon for breakfast.

This is great. First, I thought it was affordable as a Weber accessory. Second, it works GREAT as intended. My number one use is for peppers and onions which will then be used with grilled fajita meat. It is just nice to get the complete contact heat from this with no concern about fall-through. It can be VERY not, so make sure you have nice long utensils. I definitely need to get some of those gloves for using this. Third, those nice lifted handles, make it fairly easy get off of the hot grill. I use my oven mitts, but again, plan to get some better grill gloves for it. I'd say that's a must if you plan to remove this piece in the midst of a grill session. Fourth, and perhaps my favorite aspect. The fact that it is porcelain covered is a HUGE plus...when I remove it from the hot grill to put my grate back on, this gets set down on the cement. It's hot. So, if I forget it that night, and it rains....there is no risk of rust. Believe me, I left it outside for 3 weeks and was expecting some tiny breach in the porcelain coating, but there was none. And, you cannot see this coating, or even tell that it's there. I already knew I liked porcelain coated black cast iron...I have a few Staub pieces that are like this. Fifth...SO VERSATILE! I've been able to use this inside the house on stove top, and also in the oven. A Lowcarb/keto tortilla pizza that go from the stovetop to your hottest oven a la Kenji López-Alt of Serious Eats is the bomb.

I purchased this item to use on my charcoal and gas grills. I wanted something that was heavy enough to use as a skillet that would hold all those good meat juices that I lose through the grill grates. This baby fits the bill. It heats up and holds heat very well. I use it for sauteing vegs and stir fry right on the grill and the burgers and chicken breast come out great after they re-absorb their juices. It is cast iron so it took a few cooks for it to break in. This baby is heavy. I got my monies worth. Not a cheap feeling item. It will last for years. We also use it on the stove for Naan, tortillas and fajitas. Even though it says its a Weber it's versatile enough to use on any grill, just place it on the grates and heat it up. It's no different then a cast iron flat skillet.

If it was way bigger you could do a lot more on it. But it works out great. You can move the griddle closer or further from the coals to control the heat.

I've had this grill pan for three months now, and can say that it has definitely met expectations. It is heavy, very sturdy, and heats evenly on my gas grill. I've cooked several things on it and every time it has been easy to clean with hot soapy water.

So writing a review about a skillet seems strange,but I need to pass along that I'm using this with an old Genesis Silver C that is still going strong because of annual maintenance. I don't have the fancy new Weber with the hole in the grates that this is "designed" for. I'm using it straight up on one side of the grill and it fits perfect which leaves me with plenty of room on the other side. It is great for fajitas, bacon, eggs.... anything really. And for 39 bucks it is very economical when it comes to pricing for a cast iron skillet. Just keep it clean and lightly oiled and it adds a whole lot more of versatility to the grill.

i love this! it is so versatile...i use it on the grill of course, but use it on the stove as well. searing meat, making vegetables, pancakes...this does it all. it is cast iron, but it is porcelain coated and cleans up easy. you will want to get some barbeque high temp gloves to pick it up off the grill or out of the oven, but this is the most used accessory in my Weber arsenal. Having a rolled steel griddle, i didn't think i would use this much...but the size and portability make it very handy and useful to use.
