Char-Griller Flat Iron™ gas griddles, available in 3-burner and Premium 4-burner versions, offer a robust, flexible and powerful solution for all types of outdoor cookers. Made from high-performance materials such as ceramic-coated steel and reinforced construction, they are designed to provide efficient, safe and delicious cooking in any outdoor environment. Plus, their multiple cooking zones, ergonomic design and smart cleaning features make them a must-have for your deck, patio or backyard kitchen.
Professional Power Tailored to Each User
Each model in the Flat Iron™ range is designed to deliver professional thermal performance.
-
The 3-burner version generates a total power output of 10.55 kW, more than enough to prepare complete meals for medium-sized groups or families, while maintaining an even temperature across its 3 separate cooking zones.
-
The 4-burner Premium model reaches 14.65 kW, allowing you to work with an even larger cooking surface(0.5 m²) and manage large volumes of food without loss of power or efficiency.
Both versions guarantee precise and stable thermal control, ideal for recipes that require different times or temperatures in the same cooking session.
Varied Cooking Without Waiting
The key to the success of Flat Iron™ griddles lies in the ability to prepare different types of food at the same time without compromising cooking.
-
On the 3-burner model, the three independent heat zones allow, for example, cooking meat on one section, vegetables on another and keeping food warm on the third.
-
The 4-burner Premium model adds even more versatility, ideal for demanding cooks who work with complex recipes or require more simultaneous preparation (starters, main courses and side dishes).
In addition, the ceramic-coated steel ensures even heat distribution and avoids cold spots, an essential advantage for consistent results.
Functional Design for Outdoor Spaces
Ergonomics and adaptability are key points in the design of these griddles:
-
The 3-burner model is built with a folding trolley that allows it to be moved and stored with ease, ideal for small spaces, camping or urban balconies. It also has a folding side shelf, perfect for preparing or plating, and a lower shelf for storing accessories or ingredients.
-
In the Premium version, the closed trolley provides a protected space for storing utensils, gas or other items. The hinged lid not only protects the surface when not in use, but also helps to keep food warm during cooking. Two hinged side shelves add even more functionality and workspace.
The structural design of both versions is designed for stability, comfort and safety even during intense cooking sessions.
Hassle-free cleaning
The Flat Iron™ cleaning system is one of the Flat Iron™ griddles’ greatest strengths. Both versions include a removable grease collection drawer, strategically positioned to collect residues without soiling the cooking zone or the structure of the griddle.
This allows easy cleaning after each use by simply removing the drawer and emptying its contents, without the need to dismantle parts or use aggressive products. In addition, the ceramic coating of the worktop reduces food sticking and makes daily maintenance even easier.
Constant and Efficient Cooking
Thanks to the integrated wind shields, cooking outdoors is no longer a challenge. These shields are strategically positioned to prevent draughts from altering the temperature, which is essential to maintain even and controlled cooking.
In both the standard and Premium versions, this feature offers a significant advantage on open patios, elevated terraces or rural areas exposed to wind.
