I’ve only had a few cooks on this so far due to weather here in Michigan. However, the build and overall quality is far up the scale. I’ve had griddles from both of the other big name companies, and the Weber Slate surpasses both in every way. Temperature control is great !! Thats the thing I immediately noticed upon the first cook. Feels like I’m getting true three zone cooking whereas I wasn’t with any of my other griddles. Griddle temps just seem much more responsive to the knob position. Maybe it’s the material the cooking surface is made from ?? Not sure but this griddle kicks butt.
The best cooking experience available when all considered. So easy to learn and can finally make restaurant quality food. Despite this being the first griddle grill I’ve ever owned. I have talked too many people who have had Blackstones and quit using them because they either rusted out or weren’t as durable but so far this grill is amazing and the easiest to clean as long as you just take care of it even a little bit. I love going out in the back, knowing that I’m gonna get a restaurant quality cook along with a very simple cleanup, and the grill is beautiful.
Love it!! I use it almost every day if I'm not cooking on the Weber Genesis. It cooks great, easy to control temperatures and get even cooking. So far I've make burgers, bacon pancakes, eggs and stir fry both chicken and shrimp. Today is a couple filet mignons and hash browns and steamed veggies. Workmanship is excellent and Santa brought me a bunch of Weber accessories to try out. Very Happy Terry D.
So I’m an old griddle guy and recently moved on to the Weber Slate. The quality and performance of the Slate is amazing and definitely a higher quality cooktop than anything I’ve used in my past. The features are top notch, but simple and well thought out. Definitely recommend the Weber Slate and it’s ready to cook surface!
