The backyard griddle business is on fire and we’ve got reliable griddle recipes to help you get in on the flat top action.

Cook like an outdoor short-order chef with our flattop recipes for smash burgers, cheesesteaks, breakfast favorites, seafood, sandwiches, and more. Whether you’re cooking on a Blackstone, Weber Slate, Traeger Flatrock, Camp Chef, or another outdoor griddle, these thoroughly tested recipes help you make the most of your flattop’s even heat, expansive cooking surface, and incredible browning power. Think of it as a giant skillet with multiple heat zones. Chefs around the world love their griddles (a.k.a. planchas) because they can manage several orders simultaneously: burgers in one heat zone, hash browns in another, eggs in another. They also offer excellent temperature control, and boy, can they create a great brown Maillard surface. But the real thrill, in my opinion, is the seemingly endless number of dishes you can create thanks to its versatility!

Here are some fun recipes from our own team and such well-known griddle experts as Paul SidoriakChef Stef, and Neal Williams (a.k.a. The Flat Top King).
