I've a gas stovetop and want to make portable a griddle- ?stainless,

amounts of fried food. I thought I'd get approx 1/4 inch thick
material and weld handles on the sides. Do not want a lip. Obviously
my main concern is food safety. Also concerned about warping with heat
applied and cracking. My stove came with a nice cast aluminum griddle
but its too small- only covers 2 burners. Don't care if it's heavy.

Thanks for any thoughts.

There are grades of stainless that warp less than others. Don't know
what they are; I'd have to ask a welder.
