Outdoor Chef City Grill Cast Iron Griddle

The cast iron griddle is smooth on one side, and has ridges on the other side (which is not clear from the pictures or text). I seasoned the griddle before using it, and it is working out perfectly. New York Strip steaks turn out great, with a nice browned look with grill marks when cooked on the ridged side of the griddle. Steaks turn out better when cooked on the griddle than on the normal grill surface. I recommend this griddle highly, as it adds much more functionality to the city grill. Potential drawbacks depending on your situation are: The cast iron griddle is smaller than the the overall City grill wired grill cooking surface, so it works better for smaller quantities of food. The cast iron holds a lot of heat, so make sure you have time for it to cool down if you need to transport it after cooking.
