A flat-top grill, also known as a griddle, is a cooking appliance with a smooth, flat cooking surface. It is typically made of metal and can be powered by gas or electricity. Flat-top grills are popular for cooking a variety of foods, including pancakes, burgers, and stir-fried vegetables, due to their large cooking area and even heat distribution. These grills are commonly used in both commercial kitchens and home settings. They offer versatility, allowing for multiple dishes to be cooked simultaneously. Many flat-top grills also come with features like adjustable temperature controls and grease management systems for easier cleanup.
