Range top with griddle recommendations

Any of yall have griddles in your gas range?
Building a house; 48" range and although it sounds awesome, a griddle looks like a PITA to clean so it might not get used much.
Does yours get used often? Would you buy it again? Thinking bluestar if we can afford it, but the GE platform is more likely.

I have a 48" w/6 burners and 12" griddle. If I had to do over again I'd go with 8 burners. Not a fan of the indoor grill either.

I have a Thermadoor with one and 6 burners and I would get it again. I don’t use it all the time but I do use it some. I have never needed 8 burners.

If you cook a bunch and enjoy doing so, I'd recommend a french top instead of the griddle.
My next range will definitely have one.

I use mine all the time. Pancakes, grilled cheese, warm tortillas, quesadillas, etc. Easy to clean.

Have the Thermador with griddle and use it a lot. Easy to clean as well.

I have a griddle on my GE range and I don’t use it nearly as much as I planned to. I have a grill outside and use that before the griddle on the stove. I will say that if you are going to go with an indoor griddle, invest in a good vent to clear out that smoke.

No griddle built into the stove. Too easy to buy a quality steel griddle to use on stovetop, and thus retain the use of all burners when needed. Baking Steel makes a nice reversible griddle: flat on one side to use as a baking steel in the oven, edge groove on other side to use as a griddle.

You can buy a range top with the burners you want and get the griddle as an accessory. You remove the section in the middle where the griddle goes then put it on. Then when you are done you can remove the griddle and put the normal range top back on.

We have a carbon steel griddle that stays on the two right burners that we use every day but I can just pick it up if we need the burners.
definitely get a griddle, it will change your life, but not a built in

That's exactly what I do, except mine is a Lodge cast iron grill/griddle combo.

I have been debating on these with the cutting board top
Posted on 4/7/20 at 8:52 am to NYCAuburn
What’s the point of the cutting board top? Maybe if you’re in a tiny kitchen strapped for counter space, but otherwise, not very functional. Stovetop height plus griddle plus cutting board is too tall for comfortable use unless you are extra tall.

To hide the griddle and have a place to store your cutting board

Rangetop: I just built and went with Meile for everything, and I love it. Wolf is great too with better simmering function, but really these two are the best from everything I researched.
Griddle: I chose to go with 6 burners and buy THIS GRIDDLE. Well I haven't actually purchased it yet, but I plan on it. We still have stuff to do around the house before I get this. Look it over; I think you will agree this is the best option. Plus it can take up the entire rangetop space giving you a ton of cooking room to work with.
I am not a fan of built in griddles on rangetops, because that is ALL it can be used for. You are better off getting all burners and finding a removeable griddle.

Invest in a good vent regardless. It is the most overlooked appliance in the kitchen. Everyone focuses on the oven and range investment, and they shortchange on the vent hood. This is critical in both keeping the house clean of smoke along with all the harmful particulates that release in the air. Crucial investment!

Think about where you see griddles; in restaurants
I’d you are cooking for a bunch of people, it could make sense but otherwise what can it do that a pan can’t?

It's good for pancakes and omelets. Difficult to flip omelets in a pan, and they work well with more space. You can also do multiple pancakes at once with even heat.
But for the most part you are correct. They are mostly good for batch cooking. I am a family of 5, so I want one for cooking certain things in batches. Still it is not something I would use often, which is why I am in no rush to get the one I posted.

I have a Thermador 36" range with 6 burners. I love to cook on a griddle, even had a Blackstone outside at my previous house. I tried hard to convince myself to get the 4 burner/griddle configuration.
I wound up going with the 6 burner and bought a steel griddle from Rocky Mountain Cookware. It is heavy and covers 2 burners, but I can remove it after cooking. It rests on top of the original grates of the stove. We use it weekly, but I am so glad I chose to keep all 6 burners. I feel it would have been a huge waste to sacrifice burners/stove space for a griddle that is always there.

I have a 48" Viking, 6 burners, 12" griddle. Use griddle to cook pancakes, burgers, bacon, etc. Cleans up easily while hot, add a few ice cubes, & work them with a spatula. Has a generous, removable drip pan, so cleanup is easy...
