48" Range - Grill or Griddle?
Posted on 5/1/18 at 9:13 am

Almost all 48" ranges come with a grill or griddle instead of 8 burners. If you had to pick grill or griddle, which would you pick?
Pretty sure I've narrowed it down to Thermador or GE Monogram

Griddle. And if in doubt, griddle.

Griddle, plus Thermador has a pretty sweet deal with you being able to get a free dishwasher ($1299) with the purchase of the range.

I've got a 36" Thermador with the griddle. I use it all the time and it works great.

I've found, no matter the setup, "grilling" in a home kitchen is almost never a good idea. Take that outside.

Yeah, GE Monogram and Thermador both offer the dish washer deal.
If I get the fake fancy fridge (single column fridge and freezer electrolux $3500 - looks like a sub zero), I can go either way on the range.
If I decide to go fancy fridge/freezer (12-13K), Thermador throws in any hood I want whereas GE Monogram only throws in a cheap hood.
Decisions decisions.
Getting pricing on all 3 scenarios.

I've had the grill for about 5 years now. I love it and use it often. You have to have a strong exhaust and I have one. It sucks up everything.
I have several cast iron griddles that I put over the burners when I want a griddle, but I use the grill much more often than the griddles.
It really depends on your cooking and which you'd use more. It's pretty easy to use cast iron griddles or other griddles over burners, but you either have a grill or you don't.

It's got a little tray in the front for the grease and what not that you remove to clean. There's nothing to it.

Just put 48" six burner with griddle into my kitchen renovation. The griddle gets used as much as the burners, especially for late night drunk sausage and eggs. You can't beat it.
I have trouble believing an over the burner cast iron griddle would work as well. Plus you don't have the catch basin in front to sweep everything into while cooking.

My cast iron has a grease slope all the way around. It's never been a problem for me but again, it really depends on what you cook. The grill gets more use at my house, but others may use a griddle more often.

Can't lie about the fact that Drunk Me likes to put on the apron and play short order cook for all my drunk friends after a good party as well. Probably the #1 reason I got the griddle.
I make a bad arse griddled Ranch Burger on Hawaiian rolls around 2am.

Ok, yall have convinced me to get the griddle.
Now I have to decide between GE Monogram and Thermador

Can't help you there. I was going DCS right up until my ridiculously rich friend decided she was scrapping her three year old Jenn Air 48" gas for a dual fuel because she wanted an electric oven for baking. She sold it to me at an obscene discount. I would have never asked for it but she insisted and was going to put it on Craigs List if I didn't take it.
Buddy has had a Thermador for 10 years and likes it. That's all I got.

Does your ridiculously rich friend want to upgrade her JenAir?

Griddle.
Griddles are easy to cleanup. You literally do the exact same thing that the hibachi chef at a Japanese restaurant does to clean the griddle.

Those griddles are too small. I have always disliked them. I would just get an 8 burner Wolf and use a steel or cast iron griddle on the burners if you want a griddle.

You're right about the size. Love my 36" Blackstone griddle.
