Product Information

There are a few accessories that can enhance your griddle cooking experience. A good griddle tool kit, featuring spatulas, scrapers, and dispensers, is a must. A sturdy cover for protection, a sturdy carry bag for portability, and a griddle cleaning kit for maintenance are also worth considering. Safety Tips In fact, you can easily steam vegetables on your griddle too! Just place a steamer pot directly on the griddle plate and use it just like you’d use your stovetop. Really versatile, right? Yes. Due to the smoking/smoldering/burning of the wood chips and the wind coming through the side vents—it can affect the flame on the burner and create temperature variations

Speaking of heat, the Flat Top 600 puts out a lot of heat along the sides of the cooking surface. I accidentally melted a bit of the handle of one of my spatulas when I left it sitting too close on the side shelf. So be careful where you put your utensils or squeeze bottles. Breakfast Cooking While stainless steel handles high temperatures in the best possible way that any other material can’t. Stainless steel Camp Chef griddles resist scratches and dents. In addition, you can divide the cooktop into multiple cooking zones with different temperatures. This feature comes in really handy when you’re prepping different dishes at once. degrees, which can fluctuate between 140 – 180 degrees. 20 degree +/-, of the set temp, is normal, depending on weather. Outside temperatures can have an effect on these temperatures as well. On hot days, your grill will run hotter due to it being made of all steel. Like any cooking appliance, safety should always be a priority when using your griddle. Keep it on a stable surface, away from flammable objects, and always supervise it when in use. Also, remember to turn off the gas supply after each use to prevent accidents. Conclusion: Why I Recommend the Camp Chef GriddleWe recommend that if you are using it indoors, then use a 600-1500 lumens. If you are using it outdoors, the use a 800-2000 lumens. A rear projection 1000-2000 lumens will be best.

If you really don’t feel comfortable not knowing the temperature of your griddle surface, you can invest in an instant read thermometer (I’ve got some recommendations at the end of this post!) which will give you an accurate temp reading. However, as you’re cooking on the flat top grill, your griddle surface temp will fluctuate dramatically as you add colder foods and as those colder items come up to temp. Try to keep them out of the rain so they won’t get dirty. If they do get dirty you can wash using soap and water. Your information gives me a good base line from which to begin my new cooking experience. I decided to do this in the kitchen rather than outside because I really dislike the heat in Indiana summers and I don’t have a protected overhead outside for the cold months. So, the flat top as set up affords me year-long cooking independent of the weather (and the SNOW!). Using my range gave me an electrical setup already in place that is 220v and adequate current. No issues with carbon monoxide, etc. For the number of burners, the Camp Chef griddle is heated with six burners, each having a heat output of 12,000 BTUs. Yet, in the case of the Cuisinart griddle, there are only three burners to heat the entire surface. So all the sides might not get even distribution of heat which can result in hot and cold spots.The Camp Chef Flat Top Grill is a SOLID piece of cooking equipment, and it comes pre-seasoned from the manufacturer so you don’t have to worry about building up layers upon layers upon layers of seasoning on your own. In contrast, Pit Boss offers the largest surface area of 647 square inches. So it’s clear that the Camp Chef griddle is best if you want a griddle to make food for large gatherings and big families. Do you often love to change the venues of your weekend parties? No problem at all. The Camp Chef griddles are highly portable. Alloy steel provides high strength to the griddle, plus it also makes it light in weight. The corrosion-resistant properties also play a leading role in making it highly durable.

To me, it seemed like the low and medium heat settings were plenty hot enough. I don’t feel like I will need to use the high heat setting very frequently, if at all. And I could really tell the difference the heat plate makes. My omelettes and steak cooked nice and evenly, and there were no hot or cold spots that I noticed on the griddle. Instead, you have to learn to gauge the temperature of your flat top grill, and whether it is too hot or too cold, by how your food reacts. What do I mean by that?
