American Outdoor Grills Griddle Plate AOGGR18 - 304 Stainless Steel, Removable Drip Tray

What is the AOGGR18 griddle plate made from?

It is 304 stainless steel in a 12 gauge thickness. That is the same stainless grade AOG uses across its outdoor kitchen components, chosen to hold up to weather and cooking heat.

Where does the grease go while I cook?

Into a removable drip tray. The tray pulls out so you can empty it after cooking rather than working grease out of the griddle body itself.

Will the cooking surface scratch up?

AOG builds this griddle with a scratch resistant cooking surface, so day-to-day cooking and turning food will not mark it the way a polished stainless panel would.

What does a flat top let me cook that grates do not?

A solid surface holds anything small or loose that would drop through open grates - eggs, diced vegetables, smash burgers, breakfast food. You get one continuous hot surface instead of bars with gaps between them.

Does this match the rest of my AOG outdoor kitchen?

It is an American Outdoor Grills accessory built in the same 304 stainless as the brand's other components, so the finish is consistent with the rest of the AOG lineup.
