I always enjoy talking with Steven Raichlen when it's time to fire up the grill. Today we talked about the new Griddle and some delicious recipes that he came up with.

From America's bestselling grilling authority, an essential guide to Griddles, including delicious recipes and the do's and don'ts of grilling. Prized for their accessibility and versatility—and because they’re so much fun to use—griddles (also known as planchas and flat-tops) are soaring in popularity.

Project Griddle features the trademark Raichlen approach, with plenty of practical cooking techniques and nearly 80 hunger-inducing recipes.

Project Griddle traces the history and geography of griddling, from the teppan of Japan to the plancha of Spain to champa grilling in South America.

Call it a griddle, plancha, teppan, or flattop…cooking over a slab of hot metal opens up a whole new world of crusty, caramelized flavor...sidestepping the risk of flare-ups while boosting flavor with minimal fat. Live-fire cooking like never before!

Taking us step-by-step through the equipment, techniques, traditions, and indispensable tips of griddling, five-time James Beard Award–winner Steven Raichlen shows how to make hot metal a permanent part of your repertoire whether you’re an outdoor griller or cook indoors.
