PK360 Carbon Steel Solid Griddle — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the PK360 Carbon Steel Solid Griddle?
The PK360 Carbon Steel Solid Griddle is a flat, seamless cooking surface designed to replace the standard grate on PK360 grills. It gives you a full top-plate (“flat top”) ideal for cooking delicate foods like eggs, pancakes, fish, and stir-fry without food falling through grates.
Which grills is it compatible with?
It is made specifically for **PK360** grills. It will fit in place of the regular cooking grate in the PK360’s inner ledges.
What are its dimensions and specifications?
The griddle’s dimensions are listed as **15.63″ × 24.25″ × 0.125″** (thickness) per the ATBBQ listing. Its construction is “heavy duty, precision-cut carbon steel.”
How do I install and use this solid griddle?
Remove or lift the existing PK360 cooking grate, then place the solid griddle into the same support ledges inside the grill. Preheat it gradually so it warms evenly, then cook your food directly on the flat surface. Because it’s solid, you’ll have complete contact—ideal for searing, stir-frying, or breakfast items.
What are the advantages and trade-offs?
Advantages:
• Uniform full contact heat — no gaps, good for delicate or small foods.
• Easier clean-up in some cases (no slots to clog).
Trade-offs / cautions:
• No drainage — grease and liquids will pool unless managed (you’ll need to wipe or tilt).
• Edges may heat differently; you may see slight thermal gradients on the plate.
• Avoid thermal shock (e.g. cooling it too quickly) as carbon steel can warp or crack.
