Know before you buy
No, the cooktop comes pre-seasoned and is ready to use right out of the box. You can start cooking your first meal immediately without any additional preparation.
Yes. The carbon steel surface is case-hardened, which makes it durable enough to withstand the use of metal cooking utensils without damaging the cooktop.
The Weber Works system is an integrated storage and prep ecosystem designed to attach to the griddle. It allows you to add compatible accessories, such as prep tables or storage bins, to keep your cooking area organized.
The griddle is engineered for even heat distribution, capable of reaching temperatures up to 500°F. This ensures that the entire cooking surface remains consistent, preventing cold spots while you cook.
The Weber Slate features a rust-resistant carbon steel cooktop. While it is significantly more durable and resistant to corrosion than standard steel, it is still best practice to keep it clean and lightly oiled after use to maintain its condition.
At 115 pounds, this is a substantial piece of equipment. While it is designed as a tabletop unit, its weight means it is best suited for a permanent or semi-permanent location on a sturdy cart or outdoor kitchen counter.
