Frequently Asked Questions

How do I measure for my Griddle Plate / Teppanyaki Grill Top?

You will want to be as exact as possible when measuring. Open your grill and measure the inside area that your grates sit on. The width is from left to right. This normally will be the wider number. Depending on the size of your grill, you will need to deduct either 2 or 3 inches from the total width. (2 inches if griddle total width is less than 30 inches or 3 inches for anything over 30 inches wide) This will give heat a way to escape from your grills underneath side. Remember your grill is made for the heat just to rise. We are asking you to allow at least (2 inches, 1 inches on each side for the heat to be able to escape.

Now the depth, measure from front to back. This is the measurement you will want to be the most careful on. Make sure you leave 1/8 to 1/4 inch of room, so the Griddle will just fit in place. If your depth is exactly 19 1/8, order a top that is 19. Do not order a top that will fit exactly in your grill. This is steel. It can expand. we want room for it to fit easily. You usually have a lip that your grates set on that is 1/2 inch on the front and 1/2 inch on the back. Make sure you give yourself a little play room for your top to fit.

The height / Lip is just how high of a lip you want on the griddle top. We bend each side up. Usually 1 to 3 inch. The 3 inch lip has become the most popular. It acts as a back splash and allows you to sear the side of the steak at the same time. If you order 2” or higher, we will automatically taper the left and right side near the front of the griddle to a 1 ½ inch front. Making for a easy use of your griddle top. Make sure your grill has room on all 4 sides for whatever size lip you request.

What if I measured wrong and my Griddle Plate / Teppanyaki Grill Top does not fit?

We handle each case as it arises. You will need to take pictures and email them to info@griddlemaster.com along with your order number & date of purchase. Please double & triple check your measurements before placing your order so this does not happen to you. Because this is custom built just for you, chances are we will not be able to use the steel and a steep restocking fee will be charged as well as return shipping. No one wins in this case so please be sure when measuring.

Do I have to do something to the Griddle Plate / Teppanyaki Grill Top before I can use them?

YES!!! 2 things. Wash it well with soap & water. We recommend using a brillo pad to remove all the machine oils and then you will need to season the top so food won’t stick to it. Seasoning will also help protect the top from rusting.

Will the Griddle Plate / Teppanyaki Grill Top rust?

It can if not properly cared for. You don’t want to leave it exposed to rain & humidity. After each cleaning, spray a little nonstick spray of your choice and wipe all over to lubricate the top and help protect from the weather and it will prolong the life of your griddle top.

How do I clean the Griddle Plate / Teppanyaki Grill Top?

First of all, allow the Griddle Top time to cool down. DO NOT SQUIRT LARGE QUANTITY OF LIQUID ON YOUR GRIDDLE TOP WHILE IT IS HOT. Then use water. “No soap” because the top is seasoned. It will absorb the soap and make your food taste bad. If it is completely cooled down, just heat the top up slightly, squirt some water and use a scraper / spatula to help clean the griddle. Then use a rag or paper towels to help wipe and dry the grill. Be extremely careful of the hot top and the steam because if not careful, it will burn you. AGAIN, LET THE TOP COOL DOWN BEFORE APPLYING WATER FOR CLEANING. You can wash the griddle top warm, but you don’t want to give it a sudden thermal shock. (a small amount of liquid to deglaze should be okay, but not tons of water after having had the griddle top blazing hot). I prefer washing the Griddle Top while it is warm, as I find it easier than letting it cool all the way down.

Will my Griddle Plate / Teppanyaki Grill Top be shiny after many uses?

Once properly seasoned and after several uses, it will turn totally black.  It will create a non stick surface.  After the first seasoning, it will not be shiny any more.

My Griddle Top started to lift up on one corner. Why, and will it go back down?

There are some occasions where the griddle top may lift slightly on one side or the other. Most commonly this is caused by applying cold water while the grill is very hot. You “MUST” allow the griddle top time to cool down, just like a frying pan. Otherwise it will warp, just like a frying pan. Another possible cause is either having your heat up too high or you are cooking too far to one side of the griddle top. If this occurs, you can reduce or prevent lifting by cooking on low or medium low. Trust us, having a griddle top allows all the generated heat to be used and absorbed by the cooking surface. Another thing to consider, is if cooking just a small portion of food, cook in the center of your griddle. Put the middle burners on and leave the end burners off. Cooking on the extreme left or right may cause one side to contract. This is due to one side being hot and the other being cold. As the top cools down, it will return to it’s flat position. Remember “Low is the best way to go”, it will be hot enough to put an amazing sear on your favorite steak or hamburger. Watch the chicken wings on a griddle top video and keep in mind, the entire meal was cooked on low.
