Weber Original Griddle is designed to use with the Gourmet BBQ System Hinged Cooking Grate. Pack your food with flavors and let it slow cook on the cast iron. One of the main incentives of buying this product is the durability. The cast iron is porcelain enameled which prevents the meat or vegetables from sticking and retains moisture in the food. Whether you are searing steaks, scallops, or caramelizing a hot dog, the cast iron retains heat giving the food a professional touch!
