The flat-top griddle phenomenon isn’t ending anytime soon — in fact, the Weber Slate 36 griddle might be impressive enough to convince people to ditch their traditional grills for good. With a massive 36-inch cooktop, built-in storage, collapsible shelves, digital thermometer, sturdy grease trap, clever accessories and more, the Slate offers pretty much everything you could want from a home griddle.
But the *real* kicker? The Weber Slate 36’s rust-resistant cooktop comes pre-seasoned. Yes, that means you don’t have to spend an hour-plus doing the song and dance of getting your griddle ready for its first cook. As long as you follow proper maintenance techniques, you’ll spend far less time cleaning and more time enjoying your cheesesteaks and smashburgers. At least, that’s been my experience in the month I’ve had this Weber griddle.
