grilltop

A grilltop is a type of cooking surface, often made of cast iron or steel, that is placed directly on top of a grill's grates. It provides a flat, solid surface for cooking foods that might otherwise fall through the grates or cook unevenly. Grilltops are commonly used for searing steaks, cooking delicate items like fish or vegetables, and for preparing foods that require a consistent heat distribution. They are also useful for making items like pancakes, eggs, or grilled sandwiches. The material of the grilltop, such as cast iron, can retain and distribute heat very effectively, leading to excellent searing and caramelization. Before use, grilltops are typically seasoned, much like a cast iron skillet, to create a non-stick surface and prevent rust. Regular cleaning and re-seasoning are important for maintaining their performance and longevity. Grilltops come in various sizes and shapes, designed to fit different grill models, and can be a versatile addition to outdoor cooking equipment.
