The Ultimate Outdoor Cooking Experience with All-Clad Griddles

Turn every gathering into a memorable moment with outdoor griddles designed for all-day cooking and effortless entertaining. From sunrise breakfasts to late-night favorites, these versatile surfaces make it easy to cook a wide range of dishes while bringing everyone together. Whether you’re hosting friends, feeding family, or enjoying a relaxed weekend cookout, outdoor griddles create a shared experience around great food, great company, and great flavor.

Outdoor cooking doesn’t have to be limited to grill marks and burgers. With an outdoor griddle, you get a wide, even, flat cooking surface that opens the door to breakfast, lunch, dinner—and everything in between. From crispy hash browns and pancakes to smashed burgers, sautéed vegetables, shrimp tacos, and fried rice, an outdoor griddle makes it easy to cook multiple foods at once with the kind of consistent results you normally expect indoors.

All-Clad outdoor propane griddles are built for the way people actually cook outside: fast preheat, steady performance, easy cleanup, and the flexibility to go from a quick weekday meal to an all-day gathering. Each model features an enameled cast iron griddle top designed to remain flavor-neutral while delivering steady, even heating. Under the surface, an extra-thick cast iron core helps distribute heat consistently and retain it—so you can sear, crisp, and cook with confidence. The experience is made even easier with a large integrated drip tray that collects grease and residue and removes for simple cleanup.

If you’ve been comparing a gas flat top griddle to traditional BBQ griddles or grills, here’s the difference: a grill is great for open-flame cooking on grates, while a griddle gives you full contact with the cooking surface- perfect for foods that would fall through grill grates (eggs, chopped vegetables, shrimp, pancakes) and for recipes that depend on even browning. That’s why outdoor griddles have become so popular across the U.S.: they’re versatile, crowd-friendly, and incredibly satisfying.

Best outdoor propane gas griddles: choosing the right size

The best outdoor griddle is the one that fits your space, your group size, and how you like to cook. All-Clad offers three options so you can choose the right setup—from a compact table top griddle to larger cart models built for entertaining.

Small outdoor griddle: 17'' Table Top Gas Griddle, with Lid, One burner

This is the ideal small outside griddle for everyday cooking and smaller patios. With a generous 17'' cooking zone (17.1 × 16.5 inches), it’s perfect for up to 4 people. It heats rapidly—reaching 392°F in about 5 minutes—and can reach top temperatures around 570°F for high-heat searing. Temperature is controlled with a single large knob for simple, precise adjustments. (A protective cover will be soon sold separately as an accessory.)

Large outdoor griddles for hosting: 23'' and 29'' models with carts

If you cook for a family, host friends, or want more room to run multiple foods at once, a larger propane gas outdoor griddle makes everything easier.

• 23'' Gas Griddle, with Lid and Cart, Two burner (23.8 × 16.5 inches) is ideal for up to 6 people and gives you more control with dual knobs and stable thermostat performance.
• 29" Gas Griddle with Lid and Cart, Three burner (29.2 × 16.5 inches) is built for 6–8 people and adds three-burner flexibility so you can sear on one zone, sauté on another, and keep food warm while you finish the rest.

Both cart models include premium convenience features like foldable side tables and smooth-rolling wheels—made for real outdoor flow.

Griddle with cover and outdoor storage

Many shoppers look specifically for a griddle with cover—and for good reason. If you plan to keep your griddle outdoors, a protective cover helps shield it from weather and seasonal changes. A cover is not included today, but will be sold separately. For long-term performance, let the griddle air-dry fully if exposed to humidity before covering.

Outdoor griddle accessories that elevate every cook

The secret to loving your griddle long-term is having the right tools—because accessories make cooking easier, cleaner, and more fun. All-Clad offers purpose-built outdoor griddle accessories designed for real flat-top cooking:

• Cast iron grill press for smash burgers, crisp bacon, and even browning
• Egg ring set (2-piece) for perfectly round eggs and breakfast sandwiches
• Domed melting lid to melt cheese fast, steam vegetables, and finish thicker items evenly
• Tongs for quick flips and control

• Plus a complete accessory set that includes everything above—an easy way to start strong on day one
