Porcelain Coated Griddle Topper from Oscarware. <\/p>\n

BarbecueBible.com\u2019s Test Kitchen Director and Photographer Extraordinaire Steve Nester has written<\/a> about how great Oscarware products are, and I managed to get my hands on some!<\/p>\n

The Griddle Hack Every Gas Grill Owner Needs<\/h2>\n

This topper turns any gas grill into a makeshift griddle. It\u2019s a lightweight, porcelain-coated steel surface that sits right over your grill grates. You get the sear and sizzle of a flat-top, with the heat of your gas burners below. It\u2019s vented just enough to let grease drain and air circulate, but solid enough to give you that Maillard magic \u2014 that deep, brown crust that makes a burger unforgettable.<\/p>\n

Why Griddle Your Burgers?<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong \u2014 I love a grilling a burger! With those grill marks and slight char? Amazing! But sometimes, I\u2019m in a mood for a crispy, evenly browned crust you get from a diner-style patty. And for that, griddling is the way to go. It gives your burger more surface contact with the heat, which means better browning and more flavor. Instead of juices dripping through the grates and causing flare-ups, they stay right where they belong \u2014 in the burger. That makes for a juicier, more flavorful bite every time.<\/p>\n

Using the Oscarware Griddle Topper<\/h2>\n

Super easy:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Preheat your grill with the lid closed for 10\u201315 minutes. You want that surface HOT.<\/li>\n
  2. Place the topper directly on your gas grill grates.<\/li>\n
  3. Lightly oil the surface or brush your patties.<\/li>\n
  4. Smash or sear your burgers directly on the topper \u2014 you\u2019ll hear the sizzle instantly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
