Know before you buy
The Omnivore Griddle Plate is designed for faster heat recovery and more consistent temperature distribution across the entire surface. This helps prevent cold spots, allowing you to cook multiple items simultaneously without worrying about uneven browning.
Yes, the griddle features four independently controlled heat zones. This allows you to sear proteins on one side while keeping vegetables or delicate items warm on another.
The griddle is engineered with a sloped surface that directs grease and food debris toward a dedicated trap at the back of the unit. This makes cleanup significantly easier compared to front-grease models, as you can simply slide the debris into the collection tray.
The integrated hood is highly recommended as it protects the cooking surface from debris and weather when not in use. While cooking, it also helps trap heat and steam, which is particularly useful for melting cheese or steaming vegetables.
The griddle includes a weather-resistant soft cover to protect your investment, but you will need to provide your own propane tank. Please note that assembly is required upon delivery.
The unit weighs 127 pounds, but it is equipped with two locking swivel casters that make it relatively easy to maneuver on flat surfaces. Once you find the perfect spot, the locking mechanism ensures the griddle remains stable during use.
