Why A Grill Griddle Combo Changes Everything

Introduction

If you’re cooking on standard grill grates, you’re missing out on a world of flavor and versatility. Sure, steaks and burgers might do fine on open grates, but have you ever tried grilling bacon, eggs, hash browns, or even fried rice? These foods fall through the cracks—literally. The uneven heat distribution and lack of a solid surface limit what you can cook outdoors.

That’s where the grill griddle combo changes the game. The Arteflame Insert takes your existing grill and upgrades it into a dual-zone cooking powerhouse—grate and griddle combined. Now you can sear steaks, crisp bacon, and fry eggs and potatoes—all at once. It's the ultimate cooking experience for anyone tired of limitations.

What Makes the Combo Better

The combination of a grill grate and a griddle opens up an entirely new spectrum of culinary possibilities. Instead of choosing between searing or frying, now you can do both without having to switch appliances or clean up multiple pans.

Here's why the griddle-grill hybrid is a game-changer:

1. Vast Cooking Versatility

A griddle allows you to cook foods that were previously impossible—or just plain frustrating—on traditional grates. Forget about rearranging foil or placing pans on top of the grates. Cook these foods directly on the surface:

• Bacon – Cooks evenly and crisps beautifully.
• Eggs – No more slipping through the cracks.
• Hash Browns and Pancakes – Uniform cooking with golden-brown results.
• Vegetables – Sautéed or seared without falling apart.
• Rice and Stir-fries – Ideal for hibachi-style cooking.

Now you can make a complete breakfast, lunch, or dinner outdoors without heading back to your kitchen.

2. Dual-Zone Heat Control

With the Arteflame insert, you can use the hotter center to sear or fry on the griddle while using the outer grate zone to slow-cook or add a char to larger cuts of meat. Different foods, different cooking methods—all at the same time.

3. Better Heat Retention and Cooking Efficiency

Steel griddle surfaces retain heat more evenly than grill grates alone. You’ll get a consistent temperature across the surface, reducing hot spots and minimizing burning or undercooking.

4. Outdoor Cooking Without Limits

Why be boxed in by a traditional grill design? With a grill griddle combo, you're not just barbecuing—you’re outdoor cooking. This enables:

• Smash burgers with caramelized crusts.
• Grilled cheese sandwiches without flare-ups.
• Quesadillas or tacos cooked to perfection.
• French toast or even stir-fried noodles!

Take your cookouts to a new level with full-course meals from a single platform.

5. Easier Clean-Up

Say goodbye to cleaning endless pans or scraping burnt cheese off open grates. A flat griddle surface is easier to scrape down, and when seasoned properly, cleanup is quick and hassle-free.

6. Perfect for Every Meal

Unlike a traditional grill that feels most appropriate for dinner, the griddle opens morning and midday cooking options. Breakfast hash in the morning, tacos for lunch, steaks and shrimp for dinner—the sky’s the limit.
