Make grilling even more fun with the rust-free Weber Slate 36-inch griddle grill that's ready to use without any further preparation and stays ready to use, not rust. Weber Slate griddles are made differently than other griddles. Carbon steel is processed under extreme heat and pressure to harden and case-harden its surface to minimize its ability to retain moisture and rust. The surface is then pre-treated with food-grade oils that condition the metal for extra rust-resistant strength and a natural non-stick cooking surface that's ready to use without any further preparation. Because there are no seasoning layers, metal utensils can be used without worry for turning, pressing, and scraping. The griddle reaches over 500°F and heats evenly from edge to edge for even cooking across the entire griddle. Plus, the versatile Weber Works Prep, Cook & Store system lets you keep your cooking and cleaning supplies close at hand, transport food and seasonings, convert the side shelf into a work surface, and store your equipment in airtight bins (accessories sold separately). • Rust-resistant carbon steel griddle is ready to use, not rusty • No seasoning layers, allows you to use metal utensils without worry • Pre-seasoned and ready to use without further preparation • Even heat for optimal cooking across the entire griddle surface • Precision heat control knob with smooth, variable adjustment • Versatile Weber Works Prep, Cook & Store system keeps grilling equipment close at hand • Heats to over 500°F for high-heat searing and crispy edges
