Weber® Slate™ 17” Tabletop Griddle

Explore griddling anywhere—small patios, tailgates, and beyond—with the 17” rust-resistant Weber® Slate™ Tabletop Griddle. It's ready to cook on right out of the box and stays ready, not rusty, use after use. Weber® Slate™ cooktops are made differently than other griddles. The carbon-steel gets transformed under extreme heat and pressure that case hardens and bonds the surface, reducing the ability for moisture to collect and rust to form. It is then pre-seasoned with food-safe oils that condition the metal for an extra boost of rust resistance and a natural, easy-release cooking surface right out of the box. No use of coatings means you can use metal tools to flip, press, and scrape without worry. It reaches over 500°F and heats evenly for consistently cooked food across the cooktop. Plus, adjustable feet let you level the griddle on uneven surfaces, and an expandable stand (sold separately) makes the Slate™ Tabletop Griddle perfect for using at home, camping, tailgating, and more.
