Miele Griddle Plate - KMGP340

Comments about Miele Griddle Plate:

Had been thinking about purchasing a cooktop with a built-in griddle (Wolf) but was concerned about sacrificing two burneres for a griddle which I would use less often. Purchased the six burner and then looked for a stove top griddle. Looked at all of the regular named brands, All-Clad, Le Crueset, Lodge, Swiss Diamond, but some were flimsy (could warp), some were not double sided, and some sacrified surface area for handles etc. While shopping for Miele appliances, I saw this griddle and was amazed at the quality, surface area, and the heftiness. Even on the first use there was very little sticking. It is heavier than most and does not have any handles so best to wait until it cools down to move it. I have not cooked very fatty foods (bacon) on it and can't comment on overflow of grease/fat etc. Am very pleased with the performance of this product. Will never have to buy another griddle again.

This grilling plate works great - just follow the instructions and give it a full 5 minutes on full heat to get to the proper temperature. I use this for a flavorful alternative to cooking low-cal boneless/skinless chicken breasts and pork tenderloins, as well as veggies. A powerful hood vent fan is a must for this kind of cooking. The chicken etc. that I cook on this surface is FAR more flavorful and tender than alternative low-fat cooking options like poaching and baking due to the high cook temp/low cook time retaining more moisture in the meat, plus all the nice "brown bits" that come from grilling. I highly recommend this stovetop grill if you have the compatible stove.
