Designed and manufactured in France. Le Griddle uses high tech manufacturing from the aircraft industry. The factory is dedicated to provide only the highest quality products to ensure the best griddles. Le Griddle is designed with the approval of French chefs to guarantee the optimal cooking experience. Le Griddle products are made out of 304 stainless steel attached to a cast iron plate for the best heat distribution possible. Why is Le Griddle the best? The patented concept combines 304 stainless steel and cast iron for the best heat distribution and food contact. The special cast iron plate is ultra-resistant allowing for no rust, discoloration or distortion at the cooking surface. The cast iron plate absorbs the heat then transfers it to the stainless steel cooking surface allowing for perfect heat distribution throughout the surface, therefore reducing energy consumption and, creating a perfect cooking surface.
