The griddle is fantastic for making many things - whether it's breakfast, delicious patties or burgers for the whole family.
Here we show some of our favorite dishes that you can make with our griddle.
Smash Burgers
Perhaps the most classic and most popular dish to make on a griddle. And precisely for smash burgers, it is crucial that you also have a griddle press, so you can get delicious, thin and crispy patties in your burger.
In addition to smash burgers being incredibly easy to make, they also taste fantastic. Once you have formed and seasoned your ground beef, place them on the griddle and flatten them. When the patties are done cooking, you can toast your burger buns (we prefer brioche) directly on the griddle.

Toast and Sandwich
If you love toast or a good sandwich, you should try making it on a griddle.
The key to getting melted cheese in the middle surrounded by a crispy fry crust is to press the bread with a griddle press / smasher. This helps the cheese melt evenly and gives your bread full contact with the griddle's carbon steel surface.
With the griddle's superior heat control, you can quickly lower the heat and prepare your sandwich more slowly, so you don't end up with burnt bread and hard, cold cheese.
A little tip: Butter the outside of the bread with mayonnaise instead of butter, to get an even better fry crust.
Fish and Shellfish
Griddles are well-suited for preparing both fish and shellfish. You can use them to prepare whole fish or shellfish - for example shrimp or a number of langoustines with butter and parsley.
The griddle ensures a crispy crust while preserving juiciness and flavor. The high temperature of the griddle helps bring out flavor notes, which means you can advantageously keep the seasonings simple.
A griddle has a natural seasoning / patina that provides a nonstick effect, so if you prepare acidic food on it, this seasoning can break down. We love shellfish with lemon juice, but recommend that you don't add it directly on the griddle.
Brunch for the Whole Family
The griddle is ideal for making brunch for the whole family.
In addition to having fantastic frying properties, you can also take advantage of the griddle's large surface to fry bacon, eggs and sausages at the same time - something a regular frying pan wouldn't be able to handle.
Pancakes are an indispensable part of a classic brunch, and with a griddle you can also prepare these to perfection. It can be challenging to keep pancakes warm and delicious when you can only make a couple at a time, but with a griddle you can make up to 12 small pancakes at the same time.
Furthermore, you can divide the griddle into two heat zones, so you can continue making more pancakes on one side while keeping the finished ones warm on the other side. The griddle is therefore perfectly designed for making a delicious brunch for the whole family.
Steak and Vegetables
A griddle gives you the opportunity to prepare a juicy steak with a crispy fry crust and serve it together with tasty fresh vegetables.
You may already be familiar with how fantastic carbon steel is for frying meat, if you already own a cast iron pan. With a griddle you can make the perfect steak while preparing your vegetables so they become nicely crispy.
Furthermore, the griddle is ideal when you need to prepare steaks for many people at once. You can fry them at the same time, which ensures that the first steaks cooked don't get cold while you continue with the rest.
