Between Two Burners Lies the Best Stovetop Griddle for Gas Stoves

1. Stanbroil Flat Top Griddle for Standard 30-Inch Ranges — Best Full-Range Flat Top

The one griddle here that makes burner spacing irrelevant, by covering every burner on a 30-inch range.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

Every other griddle here asks whether your burners are the right distance apart. This one does not. It is built “For Standard 30″ Ranges” and is “Compatible with standard 30″ range stoves with gas (up to 5 burners), glass ceramic electric radiant or electric heating coils.” Instead of bridging a pair of burners, it covers the hob. The plate is 28.4 inches wide, 19 inches deep and 1.4 inches high, and the listing states “488 square inches of cooking surface”.

That is about twice the next-largest surface on the page. The Nutrichef, the longest two-burner pan, is 20 by 12 inches, which is 240 square inches by our arithmetic. The Stanbroil’s 488 is about 2.03 times that. Set against its own outside dimensions, 28.4 by 19 inches is 539.6 square inches, so the stated cooking area is about 90% of the plate, again by our arithmetic. The remainder is the raised edge and handles, which the listing describes as “convenient side handles and raised edges to prevent accidental spills.” It is one of only three listings here that separate the cooking surface from the overall size.

The fit depends on the range, not the burners. The key word is “standard”. The listing names 30-inch ranges and rules out “in-counter cooktops”, the kind dropped into a worktop, and induction. It comes with “2 stainless steel drip trays and 4 spacers to fit different cooktops”, which suggests the maker expects grate heights to vary. The listing does not give the spacer heights or say which ranges need which. Measure the width between your range’s side trims and the depth of the hob before you order: a plate 28.4 inches wide on a 30-inch range leaves 1.6 inches in total, by our arithmetic, for the trim and any knobs that rise above the cooking surface.

It is the only steel plate here, and the only one with no coating stated. “Built from 6 gauge thick steel for durability, more even heating and heat resistance without warping.” The listing does not say whether the steel is seasoned, coated or bare, and gives no weight. A plate this size in thick steel will not be light; plan where it lives when it is not on the hob, because it takes the whole range out of use while it is on. The drip trays are “dishwasher safe and removable”; the plate’s own care is not described.

What to weigh. Sold by Stanbroil Outdoor LTD, a third-party seller, it is the biggest step up on the page in size. It ranks #82,624 overall and #83 in Griddles, the lowest rank on the page, so few buyers take this route. If you cook for a crowd and want one flat surface across every burner, it is the only option on this page. If you want a griddle you can lift off one side of the hob while a pot boils on the other, it is the wrong shape.

Best for: A household with a standard 30-inch gas range that wants one big flat surface for crowd breakfasts and is happy to give up the hob while it is on.

2. Amazon Basics Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Reversible Rectangular Grill/Griddle — Best Long Cast Iron

As long as the longest two-burner pan on the page, with the highest oven limit, and no burner claim at all.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is a 20-inch griddle that never mentions burners. The listing gives “Product Dimensions: 20 x 10.63 x 0.98 inches”, the same length as the Nutrichef and an inch longer than the Viking, and every one of those pans claims two burners. The Amazon Basics listing does not say two burners, one burner, gas, electric or induction. It does not name a cooktop at all. By length alone it belongs with the two-burner pans; by its own words, it is a reversible grill and griddle with “user friendly handles” and an oven limit.

It has the highest oven limit on the page, and says so plainly. “Oven safe to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.” Only two other listings give an oven figure: the Viking at 400°F and the GreenPan at 350°F. The Lodge says it is oven safe but gives no number. The Nutrichef’s 500°F is a claim about heat resistance, not the oven. If you want to start a frittata or a tray of smash-pressed potatoes on the hob and finish them under heat, this is the strongest stated case here.

It is the one cast iron listing that says what seasoning is not. “Pre-seasoned products don’t have non-stick function; hand wash only.” That is an unusually frank sentence, and it contradicts the Lodge, whose listing calls its pre-seasoned cast iron “naturally nonstick”. Both describe the same kind of factory seasoning. The difference is in the marketing, not anything either listing measures. Expect to oil it, preheat it and build the seasoning up over time, as with any cast iron; our cast iron skillet guide covers what surface finish does and does not change.

It is the heaviest griddle with a stated weight. 11.02 pounds, rounded from the listing’s figure, against 9.38 for the Lodge and 1.74 for the Nutrichef: more than six times the lightest pan, by our arithmetic. The listing’s third bullet is a warning to use “hot-pads, oven mitts, or potholders” when moving it. On a gas hob that weight is a benefit once it is down, because a heavy plate sits flat on the grates and holds heat when cold food lands on it. It is a cost every time you lift it to the sink, which you must, because it cannot go in the dishwasher.

What to weigh. Sold by Amazon.com. Next to the Lodge it is 3.25 inches longer and 1.13 inches wider, by our arithmetic, adds a 500°F oven figure and loses the induction statement and the #1 category rank. If your burners are far apart and you want cast iron, it is the length the Lodge does not offer.

Best for: A cast iron cook with widely spaced burners who wants the longest plate and a stated 500°F oven limit.

3. Nutrichef Double Burner Griddle, Non-Stick Stove Top Griddle for Gas Stove, 20 x 12 in — Best Overall

The longest two-burner pan on the page, the widest too, and the only nonstick listing with “Gas Stove” in its title.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

If your burners are far apart, this is the two-burner pan most likely to reach them. The title gives “20” x 12” x 0.8” Inch” and the size field “20″ x 12″”. That is 3.25 inches longer than the Lodge, 2.5 longer than the Nordic Ware and an inch longer than the Viking. It is also the widest two-burner pan at 12 inches. Multiplied out, it is 240 square inches, the largest surface of any pan that claims two burners, by our arithmetic. The listing says it is “Made to cover two burners” and gives no spacing; at 20 inches, it has the most room for error on the page.

One caution on the size. The spec table disagrees with the title. It lists a height of 24.02 inches, a length of 11.81 and a width of 1.77, which cannot describe a 20 by 12 inch pan 0.8 inches high. The 11.81 matches the 12-inch width; the 24.02 may be the pan with its handles or the box, but the listing does not say. We report both. If the 20 inches includes the Bakelite handles, the flat surface is shorter; if it excludes them, the pan needs more than 20 inches of clear grate. Ask, or measure on arrival before you throw away the packaging.

It names gas first and promises heat. “Compatible with gas, ceramic, glass, and halogen cooktops.” Induction is not mentioned either way, so treat it as not stated and do not count on it. The heat claim is the boldest among the nonstick pans: “this griddle for stove top can stand high temperatures up to 500°F”, with a “warp-proof and corrosion-resistant design”. That is a statement about the pan on the hob, not an oven limit, and Bakelite handles would be a reason not to assume one.

The coating is described, not specified. “Non-stick marble coating” tells you how it looks, not what it is made of. The title says “PFOA & PFOS Free”, a narrower statement than the Vayepro’s “PTFE- and PFOA-free” or the GreenPan’s PFAS statement. It is “dishwasher safe”, with “drip-free pouring and sloped sides”, and the listing pitches it as a “Mexican comal for tortillas” as well as a pancake pan. It weighs 1.74 pounds, the lightest stated weight here, which makes a 20-inch pan easy to lift and easy to knock out of line on a grate.

Buyers have found it. It ranks #4 in Griddles and #3,409 overall, the best category rank of any nonstick pan here and second only to the Lodge. The release date in the spec table is 21 March 2025, so it has climbed that high in a short time. No warranty term is stated beyond “Manufacturer Warranty”.

What to weigh. Sold by Amazon.com. The Viking is an inch shorter and adds an oven limit and metal-utensil safety; the Nordic Ware is 2.5 inches shorter and states its cooking surface. For the longest nonstick two-burner pan on the page, with a dishwasher-safe surface and a top-five category rank, nothing else here comes close.

Best for: A gas-range cook with widely spaced burners who wants the longest nonstick surface for pancakes and tortillas.

4. Viking Nonstick Double Burner Griddle, 19 x 11 Inch Hard Anodized — Best Oven-Safe Nonstick

The only nonstick pan that tolerates metal utensils, and the only one with an oven figure above 350°F.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the nonstick griddle built like cookware rather than a camping plate. Hard anodized aluminium, “TRIPLE-LAYER NONSTICK”, riveted stainless steel handles and an oven limit. The surface is “safe for use with metal utensils”, which no other nonstick listing here claims; the Nordic Ware warns against “sharp cooking utensils” and the GGC asks for non-metal ones. If your griddle spatula is steel and you will not change it, this is the coating that says it can take it.

The size is the most precisely stated on the page. The title says 19 by 11 inches, and the first bullet adds: “The 19 x 11-inch surface of our stove top griddle pan spans two burners… measures 18.95 L x 11.28 W x 2.71 H in inches, and weighs 3.7 lbs.” That makes it the second-longest two-burner pan, behind only the Nutrichef’s 20. Its 2.71-inch height is the tallest here, because the handles are “raised to stay cooler”. Note that the listing calls 19 by 11 the surface and 18.95 by 11.28 the measurement; those are close enough that the “surface” is probably the whole pan, so the flat cooking area will be a little smaller.

It has the highest oven figure of any nonstick pan. “Oven safe up to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).” The GreenPan stops at 350°F. The other four nonstick pans give no oven figure. Only the Amazon Basics cast iron goes higher, at 500°F. For a gas cook who wants to sear on the hob and finish in the oven, 400°F covers most roasting, and it is the only aluminium pan here where that move is stated.

What to weigh. Sold by Amazon.com, it is the priciest of the two-burner pans. It ranks #32,151 overall and #44 in Griddles, second-lowest on the page. It is the only pan here with a “Limited lifetime warranty” stated in the spec table. You are paying for metal-utensil tolerance, a 400°F oven limit, stainless handles and that warranty, not for size.

Best for: A cook who uses steel utensils and wants a nonstick griddle that can finish food in a 400°F oven, and values a limited lifetime warranty.

5. GreenPan 18 x 11 in Ceramic Nonstick Double Burner Griddle Pan — Best PFAS-Free Ceramic

The clearest chemical statement among the nonstick pans, and the lowest oven ceiling of any pan that gives one.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

If what the coating is made of matters most to you, this listing says the most. “PFAS-FREE CERAMIC NONSTICK: Nonstick coating is made without intentionally added PFAS.” That is a broader statement than the Nutrichef’s “PFOA & PFOS Free” and the Vayepro’s “PTFE- and PFOA-free”, and it is careful: “intentionally added” is the precise wording, and we repeat it rather than shorten it. The coating is “diamond-infused”, which the listing ties to “remarkable durability”; it does not quantify that.

The size sits in the middle of the two-burner range. “18”x 11” surface area spans two burners,” and the size field says 18 by 11 by 2 inches. That is 198 square inches by our arithmetic, 1.25 inches longer than the Lodge and 2 inches shorter than the Nutrichef. As with the Viking, the “surface area” figure matches the overall size, so read it as the pan, not the flat cooking zone inside the rim. It weighs 4.32 pounds, rounded, the heaviest of the nonstick pans with a stated weight, and the listing calls the build “TOUGH BODIES” and “heavy-duty” without naming the metal.

It goes under the broiler, gently. “Oven and broiler safe up to 350°F and suitable for all stovetops, except induction.” It is the only listing here that names the broiler. But 350°F is the lowest oven figure on the page: 50°F under the Viking and 150°F under the Amazon Basics. A broiler element usually runs well above 350°F, so read “broiler safe up to 350°F” as permission for a low broil setting at most, and check the manual before you use it for melting cheese on a griddled sandwich.

What to weigh. Sold by Amazon.com. It ranks #16,930 overall and #23 in Griddles, mid-table. Against the Viking it gives up 50°F of oven limit and metal-utensil safety, and gains the clearest chemical statement here. Against the lidless Vayepro, which also states a PTFE-free ceramic coating, it adds an inch more length, a broiler statement and stainless handles. For the induction-ready version of this kind of pan, see our induction griddle pan guide.

Best for: A buyer who puts coating chemistry first and wants a dishwasher-safe ceramic griddle that can go into a moderate oven.

6. Nordic Ware Two Burner Griddle, 10.3 x 17.4 inches, Non-Stick — Best Value

The only two-burner listing that tells you how much of the pan you can actually cook on, with the clearest fixed warranty term on the page.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the two-burner listing that answers the question the others skip. “This griddle measures 10.1 x 17.5 inches with a cooking surface of 10 x 16.5 inches with a 1 inch thick edge.” So the pan is 17.5 inches long, and the part you can cook on is 16.5. That inch matters on a gas hob: it is the difference between the end of the pan and the end of the flat surface, and on the other six two-burner pans you have to guess it. By our arithmetic, the cooking surface is 165 square inches inside a 176.75 square inch footprint.

The title, bullet and spec table give three slightly different sizes. The title says 10.3 by 17.4 inches. The bullet and size field say 10.1 by 17.5. The spec table says 16.5 by 9.875 by 0.375, which is close to the stated cooking surface. None of the differences is large, but they show why a stated cooking surface is worth more than an overall size: it is the figure you will actually use. The spec table also lists a weight of 0.000625 pounds, which cannot be right for an aluminium griddle, so we have not printed it.

It is built to travel as well as to sit on a range. “Because the back side is uncoated, this griddle transitions with ease to camp stoves, grills, RVs, and even campfires.” An uncoated underside on a gas flame is a sensible design: there is no exterior coating to discolour. The listing is direct about induction: “For use on gas or electric stoves and grills, not compatible with induction stoves.” No oven figure is given.

The coating comes with instructions. “Ceramic nonstick helps with simple clean-up; do not use metal scouring pads, abrasive cleaners or sharp cooking utensils as they will scratch the nonstick surface.” That is the opposite of the Viking’s metal-utensil claim and the most specific care advice among the nonstick pans. Dishwasher use is not mentioned either way. It is one of only two products here that state where they are made: “Made In America of domestic & imported materials.” The Lodge is the other.

It has been on sale for a long time. The spec table gives a release date of 4 March 2005, more than twenty years before this capture and far older than anything else with a date. It ranks #12,537 overall and #18 in Griddles. The spec table states a “5 year” warranty, the clearest fixed term on the page; only the Viking’s lifetime cover is longer.

What to weigh. Sold by Amazon.com, at the lowest price on the page. Its 16.5-inch cooking surface is a little shorter than the Lodge’s overall 16.75 inches, so if your burners are wide apart, it is the pan most likely to leave a flame at the end uncovered. If they are close together, it is the most honest measurement on the page.

Best for: A budget buyer with closely spaced burners who wants to know the exact cooking surface before ordering.

7. Vayepro Stove Top Griddle for Gas Stove, 17 in Warp-Resistant Double Burner Griddle Pan — Best Warp-Resistant Ceramic

A ribbed aluminium plate with a PTFE-free ceramic coating: the lidded Vayepro’s pan, minus the lid.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This listing names the problem aluminium griddles have on gas, and the fix it uses. “Uneven heating can cause ordinary aluminum griddles to bend or lose their flat cooking surface. This stove top griddle features a patented 14-rib reinforced grid on the back to help resist warping.” On a gas hob, a two-burner pan is heated hard in two places and barely in the middle, which is exactly the uneven heating the listing describes. Ribs are a structural answer. The listing does not quantify how much they help, but it is the only nonstick pan here, with its lidded twin, that explains how it resists warping rather than just claiming it.

The size claim has a small contradiction. The listing promises “a spacious 17″ × 10.5″ cooking surface designed to fit across two burners”, but the spec table gives the whole pan as 16.9 by 10.24 inches. A cooking surface cannot be larger than the pan it sits on, so the 17 by 10.5 is almost certainly the overall size, and the flat area inside the rim is smaller. By our arithmetic 17 by 10.5 is 178.5 square inches, between the Lodge and the GreenPan. It is 0.25 inches longer than the Lodge, so treat it as a short two-burner pan.

The coating statement is specific. “The ceramic nonstick coating is PTFE- and PFOA-free for added peace of mind.” PTFE is the classic nonstick polymer, so “PTFE-free” says more than the Nutrichef’s PFOA and PFOS statement, though less than the GreenPan’s PFAS wording. It is dishwasher safe: “wipe clean in seconds or place it in the dishwasher when you’re done.” No utensil guidance or oven figure is given.

It is light and built to move. 2.93 pounds, the second-lightest stated weight here after the Nutrichef’s 1.74. The listing pitches it for “camping, RV travel, tailgating and backyard BBQs” as well as the kitchen, and is clear on cooktops: “works with most gas and electric stovetops (not compatible with induction cooktops).” Support is stated as “a 30-day return policy and 12-month replacement support”, a defined term most listings here lack.

What to weigh. Sold by Vayepro Store. It ranks #16,193 overall and #22 in Griddles, better than its lidded twin’s #23,316 and #28. It is the same 17 by 10.5 inch footprint, the same 14-rib back and the same spec-table dimensions as the lidded version; what the step up buys there is a glass lid, and here you get a named ceramic coating that the lidded listing does not mention. Unless you want the lid, this is the better-documented Vayepro.

Best for: A buyer with closely spaced burners who wants a light, ribbed, PTFE-free ceramic griddle and has no use for a lid.

View on Amazon

8. Vayepro 2 Burner Griddle Pan with Glass Lid, Aluminum, Non-Stick — Best With a Lid

The ribbed Vayepro again, with a glass lid, a vaguer coating description and a higher price.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the only griddle on the page sold with a lid, and the lid is what sets it apart from its twin. “Our griddle pan set comes with a durable glass lid to prevent messy splatters and maintain more consistent heat distribution.” On a griddle, a lid is useful for melting cheese on a burger, steaming the top of a thick pancake, or keeping a fried egg’s white from staying raw on top. No other listing here offers one, so if you want it, this is the choice.

Underneath, it is the same pan as the lidless Vayepro. “This griddle pan has 14 ribs on the back of the griddle, which are distributed in a grid. This patented design ensures the pan will not warp due to uneven heating.” “Size: 17″ x 10.5″”, and a spec table that gives 16.9 by 10.24 by 1.0 inches, identical to its sibling. The wording is stronger here, “will not warp” rather than “help resist warping”, but the design described is the same. At 17 inches it is a short two-burner pan, 0.25 inches longer than the Lodge.

The coating is less clearly described than its twin’s. “The surface of our griddle has a convenient non-stick coating.” The lidless listing calls its coating ceramic and PTFE- and PFOA-free; this one does not name the coating type or make any chemical statement. That may simply be different copy for the same pan, but the listing does not say, so if coating chemistry matters to you, the lidless version is the one with the statement on record. The surface has “a shallow patterned corrugation” that the listing says helps release.

Its induction warning is the bluntest on the page. “Note: Griddle should not be used on induction burner.” It works “on both gas and electric stovetops” and is “safe to put into the dishwasher”. The title also mentions “Gas Grill” and “Camping”, and the listing calls aluminium “lighter in weight and easier to carry than traditional cast-iron cookware”, though it gives no weight of its own. No oven figure is stated, and a glass lid would carry its own limit that the listing does not give.

What to weigh. Sold by CukAid LLC, a third-party seller. It ranks #23,316 overall and #28 in Griddles, below its lidless sibling on both, and it costs more than that sibling. If you already own a large lid or a basting dome, buy the lidless version and keep the difference.

Best for: A cook who wants a lid for melting and steaming on the griddle and does not already own one that fits.

9. Lodge Reversible Cast Iron Grill/Griddle Pan, 16.75 x 9.5 Inches — Best Cast Iron

The most-bought griddle on the page is the shortest two-burner pan, and the only listing that also works on induction.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

Amazon’s best-selling griddle is the shortest one here that claims two burners. “Double Burner Configuration: The Lodge Double Play Reversible Cast Iron Grill/Griddle covers two burners.” It is 16.75 by 9.5 inches, which is 159.1 square inches by our arithmetic, the smallest surface of the seven two-burner pans. It ranks #1 in Griddles and #1,254 overall, the best rank on the page by a distance. Short is not a flaw if your burners are close together: a pan that overhangs less is more stable on the grates and more likely to fit beside a pot on the other side. If your burners are wide apart, though, it is the pan most likely to leave the outer edge of each flame exposed.

It is the only listing on the page that says yes to induction. “Induction Compatible & Oven Safe: This stovetop grill plate works on any cooktop, including gas, electric, induction, grill, or even over a campfire.” Six of the other nine say outright that they are not for induction; the other three are silent. For a gas cook, that matters only if you move house or replace the hob, but it makes this the one griddle here you would not have to replace. Our induction griddle pan guide covers the wider field.

It is reversible, which is the cast iron trade. “Use this versatile cooking plate as a cast iron griddle for pancakes or flip to the cast iron grill side for searing steaks, burgers, or vegetables.” The same Lodge appears in our grill pan guide, where the ribbed side is the point. Here the flat side is. The listing says the seasoning is “naturally nonstick, PFAS-free, and non-toxic”, which the Amazon Basics listing contradicts for its own pre-seasoned iron: “pre-seasoned products don’t have non-stick function.” Both are factory-seasoned cast iron; treat either as a surface you build up with use.

It is heavy, and the oven figure is missing. 9.38 pounds, second only to the Amazon Basics among stated weights and more than five times the Nutrichef, by our arithmetic. The listing says “Oven Safe” in a heading but gives no temperature, while the Amazon Basics states 500°F. The spec table’s dimension fields put 16.75 in the height slot and 0.5 in the width; the size field’s 16.8 by 9.5 by 0.8 inches matches the title, and we use that. Care is not described beyond “as easy to clean as it is to cook with”, and the warranty field gives a contact address rather than a term.

What to weigh. Sold by Amazon.com. The Amazon Basics is 3.25 inches longer and states a 500°F oven limit, but says nothing about burners or induction. The Lodge is “Made in the USA”. For a gas range with closely spaced burners, it is the most-bought, most versatile cast iron griddle on the page. For widely spaced burners, measure first.

Best for: A gas cook with closely spaced burners who wants a reversible cast iron plate that will also work on induction later.

10. GGC Cast Iron Reversible Griddle — Best Single-Burner Size

The smallest plate here, sold without a burner claim, and the only cast iron that arrives unseasoned.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the one griddle on the page sized for a single burner, and its listing does not pretend otherwise. “Offers a generous 13″ x 8.25″ cooking area (15.5″ overall with handles).” That is about 107 square inches by our arithmetic, under half the Nutrichef’s 240, and 3.75 inches shorter than the shortest two-burner pan. The listing never says two burners. On a gas range, a 13-inch plate sits over one large burner with room to spare, which makes it a griddle for two eggs and a few rashers, not a family stack of pancakes.

It is one of three listings that separate the cooking area from the overall size. Like the Nordic Ware and the Stanbroil, it tells you what you can cook on: 13 by 8.25 inches, with handles taking it to 15.5 inches long. That 2.5 inches of handle is useful information on a crowded hob, and the listing’s description of “Wide side handles” designed for “a firm, secure grip with oven mitts” is honest about what lifting hot cast iron requires.

It arrives needing work. “Arrives unseasoned; coat with vegetable oil (flaxseed oil recommended) and heat before first use.” The Lodge and Amazon Basics are pre-seasoned; this one is not. The surface is described as cast iron with “a sleek matte coating”, and the listing asks you to “Protect the matte coating by using non-metal utensils”, which is unusual for cast iron, where steel spatulas are normally fine. The care rules are strict: “Never soak over 15 minutes. Towel-dry immediately, rub with a light layer of oil”, and “Keep steel wool away.”

The listing is thin on numbers. No weight, no oven figure and no named cooktops beyond “indoor stovetop or outdoor BBQ”. Gas is not named, and neither is induction. The size field gives a height of 0.5 inches and the spec table 3.0 inches; the 3.0 may include the handles, but the listing does not say, so we report both. It promises “No hot spots”, a claim no listing here backs with a measurement.

What to weigh. Sold by GGC Mart, a third-party seller. It ranks #12,934 overall and #19 in Griddles, just behind the Nordic Ware. Buy it as a small reversible plate for one burner. If you want to span two, every other cast iron option here is at least 16.75 inches long.

Best for: A one- or two-person kitchen that wants a small reversible cast iron plate for a single gas burner and does not mind seasoning it.
