A home we're looking at has a gas cooktop with built-in griddle

had a home with one of these and I wonder if any of you might
be familiar with this and have used it before? If so,

Does using it require a lot of subsequent clean-up?

Does it splatter the adjoining grates and burners?

Does it do a good job?

Would you have it again on another cooktop?

Thanks- Nonny


We had an old gas range with four burners and a griddle. The
griddle could convert to a regular burner, so it was very
useful. I'd use a griddle for stuff like pancakes and eggs, but
not for frying burgers. Greasy stuff would spatter. I would
love to have one. Also could be used for keeping stuff warm.
Does the cooktop have a grate to convert the griddle burner to
regular cooking?

The one installed in the kitchen of the home we're looking at
seems to have a dedicated griddle with flip-up cover.

Most of my cooking is done outdoors, here in Nevada, so this would
probably get limited use. The comment about pancakes etc. would
surely apply, since I do my main cooking on the grill outdoors.
