Le Griddle is designed and engineered with the approval of French chefs for the optimal American outdoor cooking experience. The French factory is dedicated to providing only the highest quality products made entirely from 304S stainless steel and has a lifetime warranty. Foods are seared and cooked in their own juices across stainless flat top surface. Beneath the flat cooking surface is Le Griddle’s patented, 1/2-inch thick cast iron heat plate which accumulates the heat then transfers it to the stainless steel for perfectly balanced heat distribution across the entire cooking surface.
