Like all good things in life, meal prep requires a bit of upfront effortโ€”but most of the time, it will be well worth it when you don't have to think too hard (or at all) about what you're having for lunch or dinner. If youโ€™re looking for a tool that further minimizes the amount of effort it takes, look no further than our Carbon Steel Griddle.

Perfect for meal preps small and large, the Griddle will make prepping breakfast, lunch, or dinner easier than ever beforeโ€”and taste better, too. Here are five reasons why the Griddle is the ultimate meal prep accessory you should add to your lineup.

Large Cooking Surface Area

A person is cooking chicken breasts, sweet potatoes, and asparagus on a stove-top grill.

At 8.5โ€ x 17.5โ€, our Rectangular Griddle offers the largest surface area we sell, with nearly 150 square inches of flat, even cooking surface. This means you can prep your meals for the week all in one pan without dirtying additional dishes and spending more time cleaning up than you did cooking.

Dual-Zone Heating Capabilities

A two-burner Griddle does so much more than lend chef credibility to your stovetopโ€”it also unlocks dual-burner cooking capabilities. This means you can sear chicken over high heat on one end, while slowly sautรฉing peppers and onions on the other, instead of using two pans (more dishes) or cooking the ingredients one at a time and cleaning the pan in between (more time). Basically, meal prep has never been so efficient.

Naturally Non Stick Surface

A variety of breakfast items, including pancakes, eggs, and bacon, are being cooked on a large stovetop griddle, with someone flipping a pancake.

Our Griddle comes seasoned with a mixture of coconut and shea nut oils, so you can skip the initial seasoning and start cooking with it straight away. This seasoning shortcut helps to build carbon steel's naturally non stick surface, so you can cook any number of delicate or stick-prone ingredients for your meal prep without fear or mess.

Fast Heat Response

A person is cooking burgers and onions on a griddle, with a plate of buns nearby, suggesting preparation for a meal.

The Griddle solves a common issue for those of us who understand the logic of meal prep, but donโ€™t relish the idea of dedicating an entire day to cooking food we canโ€™t eat until tomorrow at the earliest. Carbon steel construction means unbeatable temperature control, heat retention, and responsiveness, so you can spend less time cooking and more time patting yourself on the back (and admiring your perfectly prepped containers).

Versatile Cooking Applications

A variety of breakfast foods including pancakes, eggs, and bacon are being cooked on a large griddle, with a person's hand flipping an egg using a spatula.

Our Griddle was designed to mimic the best parts of a restaurant flattop, and you can meal prep just as many dishes on it as your favorite diner. Whether youโ€™re scrambling eggs, flipping pancakes, searing chicken, crisping bacon, or grilling vegetables, you can break out one pan to rule them all.
