Summerset 14 by 17.5 inch Griddle Plate: a flat cooking surface for your grill
The Summerset 14 by 17.5 inch Griddle Plate is a flat stainless steel cooking plate that sits on top of the grates of any Summerset grill. It turns one section of the grill into a flat top for smash burgers, fajitas, eggs, and pancakes, the foods that fall through the grates or stick to them. It measures 14 by 17.5 inches, so the rest of the grates stay open for direct grilling. It is built from 304 stainless steel, the grade that holds up best outdoors, and Summerset backs it with a lifetime warranty.
A grease trap built into the plate catches the fat so it does not pour down onto the burners. Lift it off when you want the grates back. Want wood smoke on your Sizzler grill instead? See the Summerset Smoker Tray for the Sizzler and Sizzler Pro. The Summerset 14 by 17.5 inch Griddle Plate ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.
FAQ
What does the GP-14 griddle plate actually do?
It converts part of any Summerset grill into a flat-top. Set the 14 by 17.5 inch plate on the cooking grates and you get 235 square inches of solid stainless surface for smash burgers, fajitas, and breakfast – the foods that fall through or stick on bars.
Is a griddle plate the same as buying a dedicated griddle?
It is the flexible middle ground. A dedicated outdoor griddle gives you maximum flat-top real estate; the GP-14 gives you 235 square inches of it on the grill you already own, removable the moment you want your grates back.
Which grills can use it?
All Summerset grills – the GP-14 is designed to sit atop any of their cooking grates, from a 25-inch Sizzler to a 42-inch Quest. At 14 by 17.5 inches it covers one section of grate, leaving the rest free for direct grilling alongside.
How does grease get handled on a flat plate?
The GP-14 has an integrated grease trap, so rendered fat collects there instead of pouring through the grates onto your burners below. That trap is the practical difference between a purpose-built griddle plate and improvising with a sheet pan from the kitchen.
Does a stainless griddle plate need seasoning like cast iron?
No – #304 stainless steel skips the seasoning cycle cast iron demands. Preheat the GP-14 well and use a little oil at cook time; afterward it scrapes and wipes clean with no rust risk and no upkeep ritual between uses.
What can I cook on 235 square inches?
Comfortably: a family round of smash burgers, a dozen eggs with hash, shrimp and vegetables for fajitas, or a full batch of pancakes. The GP-14’s solid surface holds the steady contact heat that grates cannot, which is what builds a diner-style crust.
How durable is it long-term?
Heavy-duty #304 stainless with the Gold Standard Lifetime Warranty behind it – Summerset’s for-life coverage. The GP-14 can live outdoors in the grill, take direct burner heat cook after cook, and still be the accessory you eventually hand down with the outdoor kitchen.
