Love it
I love all the Smithey products.
Yes, you can set the burners to two separate heat levels. However, for best results, we recommend starting by preheating the griddle by setting both burners to medium heat for approximately 10 minutes. Once the griddle has reached a consistent temperature (you can conduct a sizzle test with a little bit of oil or water), you can adjust the burners as needed based on what you are cooking.
To minimize hot spots when cooking with the griddle, it’s important to allow the surface to fully heat up. Cast iron is slower to heat but will reach a consistent temperature when given time. Start by setting both burners to medium heat and let the griddle preheat for approximately 10 minutes. This will allow the heat to spread consistently across the cooking surface. Once preheated, you can adjust each burner individually based on what you are cooking.
The small channel or moat around the perimeter of the griddle is designed to collect excess grease, oil, or food juices. This helps provide a cleaner surface while cooking.

The minute i started cooking on my Smithey chef skillet, I desperately wanted to replace the tired old griddle that came with our range. We are LOVING this griddle! We make pancakes every weekend. One of the first uses we made a big Father's Day brunch with sausages and bacon. It was sublime. I even toted it out to the grill for the bacon part so my house didn't smell like bacon all day (I know, I'm odd, I don't like that!) As with my other Smithey, it just keeps getting better as it seasons and as I finesse temperature and timing. We will treasure this for years to come. Worth the investment, no question.
Whether food prepping for the week with a dozen eggs on the griddle, or showing off a little making pancakes for company, this griddle is the ultimate cook platform, I love it!
I’ve been in the kitchen for quite some time now. I say over a decade and smitheys quality not only met but passed beyond my expectations. Get it use it and thank me later. You can check my IG theBBQDistrict and see it yourself.
Another great product!
