Weber Q Griddle for Q 100/1000 Series – Porcelain‑Enameled Cast‑Iron Griddle with Superior Heat Retention, Easy‑Clean Surface & No‑Spill Rim

I've been balcony grilling in NYC on an electric Q series for 2 years now. It's a small grill, it doesn't put out a ton of heat, and you have to keep the top shut as much as possible. You also have to plan ahead for longer grill times on a limited cooking surface... and a big issue is squeezing in a vegetable grill pan with limited grill space and lid clearance. Found the griddle insert and voila- no vegetable pan needed. Unbelievable results! Peppers and onions in no time look like a restaurant fajita pan, broccoli, asparagus, and green beans come out great - and fast! The griddle plate (while expensive for what it is) is heavy and a huge heat sink, like a cast iron pan. Once up to temp, it actually raised the max heat of the grill. Having half grill, half griddle is amazing. And you can move food on and off different surfaces.. eg sear on the griddle, cook on the grill. YES, you need to season it with oil as you would any new cooking pan. I actually did it on the gas stove indoors vs on the grill. As other reviews stated, this is a slab of iron. There is nothing porcelain about is, and it it is NOT a nonstick surface. Let's talk bacon (and maple brussels sprouts). What a mess on a pan in the house. On the grill, no indoor mess at all... crispy bacon and a nice sear on the Brussels. Additional pro tip: for the Q series, also buy a Weber (gas grill) thermometer, drill a hole in the Q lid, and screw in. Invaluable. Get the griddle and happy grilling!

I am right now camping at Lake Tahoe, and I am so pleased with this griddle, that I had to take a moment to write a review so that I may make a counterargument to the negative reviews! First things first, you must season this griddle, as you would a cast iron pan. I know Weber says it has a porcelain coating, and it doesn't need to be seasoned, but what they should say is that the porcelain coating will protect the griddle from rusting. Porcelain coatings don't make things nonstick. I was nervous about all the negative reviews that said they bought this for eggs but can't fry eggs cause they do nothing but stick. I was also nervous because I saw some YouTube videos of people claiming to have success and when they fry their eggs they too make a burnt mess. I may need to may a YouTube video too, cause my eggs flipped perfectly this morning, and they weren't over cooked. When I season an item that is cast iron, and I seasoned this griddle the same way, I spread Crisco over the entire surface of the item. I don't leave globs of Crisco, I only apply a thin layer of Crisco. I then bake the item at 350-400 for an hour. Then I take the item, place it on a burner with the cooking surface up, and then crank the burner up to high. I am looking for the item to start smoking and to start looking like it is drying up. When the item gets to that place, I take a paper towel that has some vegetable oil on it, and I use metal tongs to rub the vegetable oil on the cooking surface. I don't let the oil pool, I spread it evenly. This generates a lot of smoke, so it is best to do it on a burner outside. I let the applied oil cook on the surface, and when it looks like the item is dry again, I add more vegetable oil. After 3-4 times doing that, I kill the heat, but I apply more vegetable oil so that the cooking surface appears to be shiny. I make sure the surface remains shiny when it is cool, and I consider the item seasoned. I did this process with the Weber griddle. This morning when I used the griddle in the Weber Q 1200, I only used the low setting. Using only the low setting, I gave the Weber Q the time it needed to heat up, I sprayed the griddle with Pam, and I fried three eggs for my wife and I. The surface was like a nonstick pan. The eggs didn't stick, and I remembered all the reviews written by people who didn't prepare and use the griddle correctly! This griddle is awesome. I used to take a camp stove and a frying pan to prepare breakfast while camping, but now I just need this small griddle insert for my eggs! Since I am bringing the Weber Q for my burgers and hot dogs, I just needed this griddle to make every meal on the Weber Q!

I had been using my lodge pan to grill steaks and veggies, but it took up the entire grill. My grill itself has hotspots so this has helped to even them out. Very happy with my purchase and wished I’d come across this earlier.

this is a great product. My boyfriend uses this side of the grill the most. Happy!!!

Ok, let's get the negative out of the way first. If this thing has any porcelain on it, I'm the Pope! No disrespect to the Pope, of course. That said, this is a great little griddle for our Q1200 grill. I fixed bacon and eggs on it yesterday and pancakes on it today. With the grill on medium heat, the bacon was crispy, just like we like it, and the eggs a little over done (note to self... turn down the heat a little when doing the eggs). One hint, I used a small (6" cast iron skillet on the other side of the grill to keep the bacon hot while I cooked the eggs) Pancakes this morning were the true test for me. The first pair, on moderate heat, turned out golden brown on both sides. No dog cakes. The second pair also turned out good, although they did stick a little. So, until you get the seasoning built up on the griddle, plan on using some oil. All in all, I'm very happy with this grill accessory and plan to use it regularly. You see, we live full time in a 5th wheel camper and the grill is perfect for our needs. The griddle adds to that perfection.

Exactly as ordered. Perfect size for small Weber Q. So far using it fork meats and veggies. Haven’t tried eggs yet until it’s better seasoned.

Excellent stand in for OEM at a fraction of the price.

Love it. Changes the overall use of the BBQ.

Très bien

Pimp my Weber Grill...... Wir besitzen einen Q200 Elektrogrill und probieren die verschiedensten Gerichte aus. Aus diesem Grund haben wir uns diese Grillplatte gekauft. Für die genauen Produktinformationen darf ich auf die Herstellerseite verweisen. Persönliche Erfahrungen: Optik: Gusseisern, schwarz und passgenau auf der linken Seite für den Originalrost. Haptik/ Verarbeitung: Webertypisch gut. Die Platte ist sehr schwer. Benutzung: Anfangs benutzen wir für Gemüse und anderes kleineres Grillgut die Weber Grillschale. Diese ist jedoch für manche Gerichte zu klein und zu umständlich in der Benutzung (Wenden des Grillguts). Bei der Platte kann man dies großzügig ausnutzen. Durch die Halbierung der Grillroste, bleibt in einem 2-Personen-Haushalt noch genügend Platz um sonstiges Grillgut zuzubereiten. Reinigung: Wie immer ein großes und schwieriges Thema bei Griller. Das Ausbrennen und reinigen mit der Grillbürste funktioniert bei der Grillplatte erstaunlich gut. An der Längsseite befinden sich zwei kleine Löcher, in der man die Reste mehr oder weniger hineindrücken kann um sie später in der Auffangschale zu sammeln. Von Versuchen mit Haushaltstücher die Reste zu entfernen würde ich dringend abraten, da man hier noch mehr Arbeit hat, die Fussel wieder zu entfernen. Preis: Auch Webertypisch. Jeder muss für sich entscheiden, ob es ihm das wert ist. Fazit: Für uns eine sinnvolle Ergänzung, deren Kauf wir nicht bereuen.

Sehr gute Grillplatte für die den Weber Q1400 Elektrogrill. Tolles Grillerlebnis.

Estuve un par de días considerando comprar una plancha genérica y al final termine comprando la original. No se pega la comida , fácil de limpiar y aguanta perfectamente el uso.
