Griddle plate comparison 2026

The best Griddle plates, compared.

Top pick: Campingaz Camp Bistro Best value: OVERMONT reversible (51 cm) – Strongest price against review count among reversible pans that clear 68: about £29.17, score 70, 4.2 from 770 reviews. Updated October 2026.

A griddle plate is a flat or ridged surface you set on a barbecue, hob, oven, or camp stove you already own. It is not a gas plancha with its own burners, and it is not a plugged-in electric griddle. UK reviews say it flexes and stays cooler with the lid open. Campingaz scores 71 and costs less, and it is a top, so it does not take that badge. These are listing scores, not a cook test. Measure the grates before you trust a line that says the plate fits most grills. How to choose an insert, a pan, or a camp plate is in the [griddle plate buying guide](/hub/grill-accessories/griddle-plate/sub/griddle-plate-buying-guide). UK shoppers buy one to fry eggs and smash burgers with fewer flare-ups, or to get grill marks indoors. Quality is the match of material to the job. Bare cast iron holds heat and rusts if it stays wet. Thin stainless heats faster and warps, or loses sear temperature, more easily.

The best Griddle plates in detail

Campingaz Camp Bistro

Rank 1

Campingaz Camp Bistro

∼£19

Our view

The Campingaz 2214381 is a die-cast aluminium plate for a Camp Bistro at about £18.95, with 4.8 from 480 amazon.co.uk reviews and a footprint of about 24 by 22.4 cm. The bullet limits the official fit to Camp Bistro 3 and Camp Bistro DLX, and the details weight is 630 g against a 700 g bullet. UK reviews like the size for two people and the way it stores with the stove. Most of the UK texts in the file praise easy cleaning, while two report the coating blistering or coming off, and one of those plates was returned. Reviewers also describe personal fits on a Camp Bistro 2, a Halfords stove and a Hi Gear ZHG161, which are not the compatibility line. The dishwasher field is No, and the listing prints a two-year manufacturer line. It is the camp plate in this set, not a cover for a household gas barbecue.

Pros

  • 4.8 from 480 amazon.co.uk reviews
  • Named stove fit
  • About 24 by 22.4 cm and under 1 kg
  • 2-year manufacturer line in the listing

Cons

  • Not a full barbecue plate
  • Dishwasher field No
  • Two UK reviews of coating failure
  • Bullet weight 700 g versus details 630 g

Best for: You already cook on a Camp Bistro 3 or DLX and want a grill top that stores with the stove.

Less suitable: You want a 50 cm plate for a gas barbecue or a bare cast-iron surface you can season.

Common questions

Which stoves does the listing say it fits?

The bullet names Campingaz Camp Bistro 3 and Camp Bistro DLX. UK reviews also describe a personal fit on a Camp Bistro 2, a Halfords stove, and a Hi Gear ZHG161. Those are reviews, not the compatibility line.

What is it made of?

The material field says aluminium. The bullet says heat-resistant die-cast aluminium with a non-stick coating. The details weight is 630 g and the bullet says 700 g.

Is the coating holding up in the UK reviews?

Most of the UK reviews in the file praise easy cleaning. Two say the coating blistered or came off after early use, and one of those was returned.

Kordisen 28 cm grill pan

Rank 2

Kordisen 28 cm grill pan

∼£24

Our view

The Kordisen 0511 is a 28 cm square aluminium grill pan with a granite coating, at about £23.79, with 4.6 from 1,296 amazon.co.uk reviews and a listed weight of 1.22 kg. It is a hob pan with ridges and pour spouts, not a sheet you drop onto a gas barbecue. The title and a magnetic-base bullet point it at induction, and UK reviews also use it on gas and electric hobs. The dishwasher field is Yes, and one UK review says it cleans easily in the machine. The handle arrives separate with screws and a screwdriver, and one review found it wobbly after fitting. The seller claims the coating is PFOA-free and PFOS-free, which is a seller line rather than a laboratory report in this file. PFOA-free does not mean free of every PFAS. One review advises staying off high heat if you want the coating to last. Choose it for steaks on a kitchen hob. Leave it if you meant to cover a barbecue or to season bare cast iron.

Pros

  • 4.6 from 1,296 reviews
  • Dishwasher field Yes
  • 1.22 kg, lighter than the iron pans
  • PFOA-free and PFOS-free claimed by the seller

Cons

  • 28 cm, not a barbecue top
  • Handle supplied loose in the reviews
  • One wobbly handle
  • Seller SGS line has no report in the file

Best for: You want a small non-stick grill pan for an induction or gas hob.

Less suitable: You want to cover a gas barbecue or season bare cast iron.

Common questions

Can it be used on an induction hob?

The title says it is a griddle pan for an induction hob, and the bullet describes a magnetic base. UK reviews use it on induction, gas, and electric hobs. One review says to avoid high heat so the pan lasts.

Is it dishwasher safe?

The dishwasher field is Yes, and the care line says dishwasher safe. One UK review says it goes in the dishwasher and cleans easily.

Does the handle come fitted?

UK reviews say the handle arrives separate, with screws and a screwdriver. One review found the handle wobbly. The included-components field only says grill pan.

Onlyfire Spirit cast iron

Rank 3

Onlyfire Spirit cast iron

∼£60

Our view

The Onlyfire F-BGG8264-BS1-EU is a reversible cast-iron insert at about £59.99, about 44 by 29.5 by 1.3 cm and 5.73 kg, with 4.6 from 147 amazon.co.uk reviews. The bullet names Spirit I and II 300 models with front-mounted controls, including E310, E320, S310 and S320, plus some Spirit four-burner grills from 2025 such as E/S-425, and it tells you to measure before you order. The smooth side is sold for burgers, fish and vegetables, and the ridged side for grill marks. UK reviews praise the fit on those Spirit grills, though one buyer returned a rocking casting and received a replacement. Others say it is slow to come up to temperature and can cook in hot spots. There is no dishwasher field in the file, and reviews talk about seasoning before the surface releases food cleanly. Buy it when your Spirit is on that list and you have checked the grates. Leave it if the barbecue is another brand, or if you wanted a dishwasher field that says yes.

Pros

  • 4.6 from 147 amazon.co.uk reviews
  • Named Spirit fit list in the bullet
  • Reversible cast iron
  • 5.73 kg in the details

Cons

  • One UK review of a rocking, defective casting
  • UK reviews say it needs a lot of heat
  • One UK review returned it for hot spots
  • Dishwasher field missing

Best for: You own a Weber Spirit on the bullet list and you will measure the grates first.

Less suitable: You need a plate for a different brand, or you want a dishwasher field that says yes.

Is it reversible?

Yes. The bullets say the smooth side is for burgers, fish, and vegetables, and the ridged side is for grill marks. UK reviews talk about seasoning it before it cooks cleanly.

Does the listing say it is dishwasher safe?

The page asks the question. The technical details do not answer it. There is no dishwasher field in this file.

Onlyfire honeycomb (58 cm)

Rank 4

Onlyfire honeycomb (58 cm)

∼£100

Our view

The Onlyfire F-BGG8294-SS1-EU is a stainless plate with a honeycomb texture at about £99.99, with 4.5 from 14 amazon.co.uk reviews, listed at 58.3 by 40 by 7.2 cm and 5.79 kg. The bullets describe a laser-etched surface, high sides, a grease channel and a drainage hole. The non-stick field is Yes and the dishwasher field is No. The maximum temperature field says 500 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the seller figure, not a cook recorded for this comparison. The highlight says most gas or charcoal grills, and the one usable UK sentence in the file is a fit on a Ninja FlexFlame that cleaned easily. The listing also ranks the ASIN under Barbecuing Planks, which is a category oddity rather than a size. Fourteen reviews, with one UK sentence, cannot tell you how the texture holds up after a summer. Take it if you want a wide textured sheet and you accept a thin file. Leave it if you wanted a long UK record or a Spirit-shaped iron insert.

Pros

  • Honeycomb surface described in the bullets
  • Grease channel and high sides
  • 5.79 kg
  • Seller maximum 500 degrees Fahrenheit

Cons

  • 14 reviews, one usable UK line
  • Dishwasher field No
  • About £99.99
  • Ranked in Barbecuing Planks in this file

Best for: You want a wide textured stainless plate and you accept a thin review file.

Less suitable: You want a long UK review record or a cast-iron Spirit insert.

Common questions

Can it be used on a charcoal grill?

What is the surface?

The bullets describe a laser-etched honeycomb on stainless steel, with high sides, a grease channel, and a drainage hole. The non-stick field is Yes. The dishwasher field is No. The maximum temperature field says 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

How many UK reviews are in the file?

The listing shows 4.5 from 14 reviews. The listing has two United Kingdom blocks, and only one of them has a sentence. Do not treat that as a long-term test.

nuovva reversible (50 cm)

Rank 5

nuovva reversible (50 cm)

∼£40

Our view

The nuovva model 106 is a reversible cast-iron pan, 50 by 25 cm in the title, at about £39.99, with 4.4 from 1,077 amazon.co.uk reviews and a listed weight of 5.36 kg. UK reviews use it on gas hobs and on gas barbecues, including a Nexgrill, though one buyer had to seat it carefully so it did not slip on a pan support. The title says pre-seasoned, yet reviewers still wash it and build another oil layer because the first cooks stuck. The dishwasher field is No, and rust complaints often follow a wash that left the iron wet. The components field says a lid is included, which you should check against the box rather than assume from the title alone. Thickness is not stated. It suits a wide hob or a barbecue if you will dry and oil it after every cook. It is the wrong object if you wanted a coated pan you can put through a dishwasher.

Pros

  • 4.4 from 1,077 reviews
  • 50 by 25 cm reversible plate
  • Used on gas barbecues in UK reviews
  • 5.36 kg, which reviewers call sturdy

Cons

  • Rust cluster in UK reviews
  • Factory seasoning was not enough for many
  • Heavy to wash in a sink
  • Photo led one buyer to expect two plates

Best for: You want a heavy reversible iron plate for a gas hob or a gas barbecue and you will oil it after every wash.

Less suitable: You want a dishwasher-safe pan or a plate that will not rust if it air-dries.

Common questions

Can it be used on a barbecue?

Is it pre-seasoned?

The title says pre-seasoned. UK reviews still wash it and season it again. Several say the first cooks stuck until the oil layer built up.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

The dishwasher field is No. UK reviews that report rust often describe washing and leaving the iron wet. Other reviews say rust is what happens if cast iron is not dried and oiled.

Onlyfire stainless (51 cm)

Rank 6

Onlyfire stainless (51 cm)

∼£60

Our view

The Onlyfire F-BGG8201-SS-EU is a stainless barbecue plate at about £59.99, listed at 51 by 32 by 12.4 cm and 3.28 kg, with a cooking surface of 45.5 by 27 cm in the bullet. Across 1,641 amazon.co.uk reviews it sits at 4.2, the largest review file in this set, and the bullets add a grease trough, a wrench and 1.2 mm steel. UK reviewers like the flat top, yet several say the sheet stays cooler than the dome unless the lid stays down. One of those reviews puts the dome at about 380 degrees Celsius and the plate at about 180 degrees Celsius. The same file describes flex when the plate is hot, and the title length of 47.2 cm does not match the 510 mm bullet, so you measure the grates rather than trust the line about virtually any gas grill. One UK review says a magnet sticks, which the listing does not explain. It is the top pick here if you will preheat with the lid closed, and the wrong plate if you want thick iron that holds a sear with the lid open.

Pros

  • 4.2 from 1,641 amazon.co.uk reviews
  • Grease trough and raised sides in the bullets
  • Dishwasher field Yes
  • Cooking surface stated as 45.5 by 27 cm

Cons

  • UK reviews say it holds heat poorly with the lid open
  • UK reviews describe bending when hot
  • Title length 47.2 cm does not match the 510 mm bullet
  • One UK review says a magnet sticks

Best for: You want a flat top on a gas barbecue and you will preheat with the lid down.

Less suitable: You want thick cast iron that stays hot with the lid open, or a plate cut for a Weber Spirit.

Common questions

Will it fit a gas barbecue?

The bullet says it fits virtually any gas grill. The highlight adds most charcoal grills. The cooking surface in the bullet is 45.5 by 27 cm, while the outer size in the details is 51 by 32 by 12.4 cm. The title also says 47.2 by 32 cm. Measure the grates. One UK review says this size sat on a Weber Go-Anywhere.

Does the listing say it is dishwasher safe?

Yes. The dishwasher field is Yes. UK reviews still talk about scraping and about the surface blackening after a cook. They do not describe a dishwasher cycle.

Why do reviews say it will not sear?

Several UK reviews say the sheet does not hold heat unless the lid stays down. One says the dome read 380 degrees Celsius and the plate about 180 degrees Celsius. The bullet states 1.2 mm steel. That thickness is the listing figure, not a lab measurement.

OVERMONT reversible (51 cm)

Rank 7

OVERMONT reversible (51 cm)

∼£29

Our view

The OVERMONT OM-Griddle-II is a reversible cast-iron pan at about £29.17, with 4.2 from 770 amazon.co.uk reviews and details of 51.2 by 23.5 by 1.2 cm and 3.6 kg. A bullet also says 17 inches by 9.2 inches, and the highlight says 20 by 9.2 inches, so you measure against the centimetres in the details rather than averaging the three lines. UK reviews use it for smash burgers on gas hobs and barbecues, often across two burners. The listing claims induction, gas, oven and campfire, and not a microwave, yet UK reviews split: some say the flat side works, one says the ridged side does not, and two say their induction hob ignores the pan. The dishwasher field is No. Reviews say it rusts if it stays wet, and that the scraper named in the highlight can wear out. The seller states a maximum of 450 degrees Celsius. It is the best value pan here if you will dry and oil it, and a poor bet if you need a confirmed induction fit or a full-width barbecue sheet.

Pros

  • About £29.17 with 4.2 from 770 reviews
  • Reversible and pre-seasoned in the listing
  • Seller maximum 450 degrees Celsius
  • Scrapers named in the highlight

Cons

  • Induction claim is disputed in UK reviews
  • Rust if left wet, in UK reviews
  • 17 inch bullet versus 51.2 cm details
  • Hard to clean in several UK reviews

Best for: You want one reversible iron pan for a gas hob or a barbecue and you will dry and oil it.

Less suitable: You need a confirmed induction fit, or a full-width stainless insert for a four-burner barbecue.

Can it be used on an induction hob?

Which size is in the listing?

The details say 51.2 by 23.5 by 1.2 cm and 3.6 kg. The highlight says 20 by 9.2 inches. A bullet says 17 inches by 9.2 inches and about 7.2 pounds. Those figures are all on the listing and they do not match. Use the centimetre line.

Does the listing say it is dishwasher safe?

No. UK reviews say to dry it and oil it, and that it rusts if it stays wet. One review says the included scraper wore out quickly.

Onlyfire stainless kit (58 cm)

Rank 8

Onlyfire stainless kit (58 cm)

∼£105

Our view

The Onlyfire F-BGG8292-SS1-EU is a stainless barbecue plate at about £104.99, with 4.2 from 117 amazon.co.uk reviews, a bullet size of 58.5 by 40 by 7 cm and a weight of 5.5 kg. The box adds a scraper, a spatula and a scouring pad, and the non-stick field is No, so one UK review says to season it if you do not want food to stick. The dishwasher field is Yes, but the six UK lines with text in this file do not describe a dishwasher cycle. Those lines are mostly short praise, plus one that tells you to buy a Weber plate instead. The bullet aims it at gas and charcoal grills and names Weber as an example, which is not a Spirit model-year list. Induction is not confirmed in the spec block. At this price you are paying for the wider sheet and the tools, on a shorter UK review file than the about £59.99 Onlyfire plate in the same set.

Pros

  • Scraper, spatula, and scouring pad in the bullets
  • Grease trough
  • Dishwasher field Yes
  • 5.5 kg

Cons

  • About £104.99 against cheaper stainless plates in this set
  • Only six UK reviews with text
  • Non-stick field No
  • No item-dimensions line, only the bullet

Best for: You want a wide stainless plate and the listed tools in one box, and you will season it.

Less suitable: You want a coated surface or a Spirit-shaped insert.

The listing asks. The spec block does not say yes. The bullet is a 58.5 by 40 cm barbecue plate for gas and charcoal grills.

Yes. The dishwasher field is Yes. The UK review text in this file is six short lines and does not describe a dishwasher cycle.

Onlyfire Spirit ceramic

Rank 9

Onlyfire Spirit ceramic

∼£92

Our view

The Onlyfire F-BGG8259-BS1-EU is a ceramic-coated iron insert at about £91.99, with 4.2 from 46 amazon.co.uk reviews, listed at 59.5 by 44 by 3.8 cm and 10.7 kg. The title and the bullet point at Weber Spirit 300 grills with up-front controls, including a 2013 to 2017 window and Spirit II 300 model codes, while the highlight says Spirit 400. Those two lines do not describe the same barbecue, so the highlight on its own is not a buying instruction. The bullets sell a grease drain, vents and a ceramic surface for cleaning, not an oil-seasoning routine, and the dishwasher field is No. Only three UK reviews in the file have readable text, and they praise the fit and the weight on a Spirit 300. That sample is too small to settle a 2025 cookbox. Buy it only after you have measured a front-control Spirit 300 and you can lift 10.7 kg.

Pros

  • Ceramic non-stick field Yes
  • 10.7 kg
  • Grease drain and vents in the bullets
  • UK lines that mention a Spirit 300 fit

Cons

  • Title says Spirit 300 and the highlight says Spirit 400
  • Dishwasher field No
  • Only three readable UK reviews
  • About £91.99

Best for: You have measured a Spirit 300 with front controls and you want a coated full insert.

Less suitable: You own a Spirit 400 and you are relying on the highlight alone, or you cannot lift 10.7 kg.

Common questions

Will it fit grills other than Weber?

Does it need seasoning?

The listing asks and does not answer. The bullets sell a ceramic coating for non-stick cleaning, not an oil-seasoning routine. The dishwasher field is No.

How heavy is it?

The details say 10.7 kg, and the size line is 59.5 by 44 by 3.8 cm. The bullet also says 405 square inches. Three UK reviews with text call the fit and the weight good. That is a small UK sample.

Dayacoco reversible (42 cm)

Dayacoco reversible (42 cm)

∼£23

Our view

The Dayacoco HK260117-1UK is a reversible cast-iron pan at about £22.99, with 4.2 from 22 amazon.co.uk reviews, listed at 42 by 25 by 2 cm and 4 kg. The file holds five UK reviews. Four are short praise for a gas hob or for a barbecue the buyer had not yet used, and one says pancakes stuck on the first cook despite the pre-seasoned title. The non-stick field is Yes, which did not settle that breakfast. The bullet names gas, an electric hob and an oven, and not a microwave, while the highlight adds open fire. Induction is not confirmed in the spec block. The dishwasher field is No, and a lid is not among the included components. At this price it is a smaller iron pan you season before the first breakfast, not a proven induction plate and not a 58 cm barbecue insert.

Pros

  • About £22.99
  • 42 by 25 by 2 cm and 4 kg stated
  • Reversible
  • Gas, electric, and oven in the bullet

Cons

  • Only five UK reviews in the file
  • Induction not confirmed
  • Dishwasher field No
  • Pancakes stuck in one review

Best for: You want a smaller reversible iron pan and you will season it before breakfast.

Less suitable: You need a proven induction plate or a 58 cm barbecue insert.

Is the pre-season enough?

The title says pre-seasoned and the non-stick field is Yes. One of five UK reviews says pancakes stuck on the first use. The dishwasher field is No.

Rank 11

NutriChef reversible (46 cm)

∼£42

Our view

The NutriChef NCCIRG59 is listed as a reversible iron plate, 45.7 by 25.4 by 1.5 cm and 4.4 kg, at about £41.69, with 4.0 from 4,421 amazon.co.uk reviews. The five feature bullets on the listing describe server-rack shelves and are ignored here, so the title, the size line and the UK reviews are the evidence that remains. Several UK reviews say a rim about 1 cm high lifts the base off induction glass, so the hob does not see the plate, and one review measured the thickness as 2.3 cm rather than the listed 1.5 cm. More than one UK review says the plate cracked on the first or second heat, that a handle split, and that one unit sparked. Other UK reviews praise it on a gas hob after seasoning. There is no dishwasher yes or no field, and the listing ranks it under Electric Griddles. Use it on a gas hob only if you inspect the casting on the first heat. Skip it for induction, or if you need bullets that describe the plate in the box.

Pros

  • 4.0 from 4,421 reviews
  • Reversible in the title
  • 45.7 by 25.4 cm and 4.4 kg
  • Gas-hob praise in some UK reviews

Cons

  • UK reviews of cracks and a broken handle
  • Induction rim problem in several UK reviews
  • Feature bullets are the wrong product
  • Dishwasher field missing
  • Ranked in Electric Griddles

Best for: You want a reversible iron plate for a gas hob and you will check it on the first heat.

Less suitable: You need induction, or you want bullets that actually describe the plate.

Common questions

Can it be used on an induction hob?

The title says induction and gas. Several UK reviews say a rim about 1 cm high lifts the base off the glass, so the hob does not detect the plate. One review measured the thickness as 2.3 cm rather than the listed 1.5 cm.

Is it dishwasher safe?

The listing asks. There is no dishwasher yes or no field in the spec block.

What did UK reviews say about cracks?

More than one UK review says the plate cracked on the first or second heat, and that a handle split. One review mentions a spark. Other UK reviews praise it on a gas hob after seasoning. The five feature bullets on the listing describe rack shelves and are not about this plate.

WUDLEP stainless (58 cm)

Rank 12

WUDLEP stainless (58 cm)

∼£45

Our view

The WUDLEP WUDLEP-SO2E7 is a stainless barbecue plate at about £44.99, with 3.9 from 11 amazon.co.uk reviews, listed at 58 by 40 by 7 cm and 4.48 kg, with a grease trough and two side handles. Six UK reviews are in the file. Praise covers breakfast on a gas barbecue. Complaints cover a slight warp and a poorly welded subframe that left an uneven surface, and one buyer updated the review after three months to say the bow had got worse. The non-stick field is No and the dishwasher field is No. The highlight says most gas grills, which is not a measured fit, and induction is not in the spec block. A cover is not listed. It is a wide sheet at a mid price if you will return an uneven weld on arrival. It is a weak choice if you want a long review record or a coated top.

Pros

  • 58 by 40 by 7 cm
  • Grease trough and two handles
  • 4.48 kg
  • About £44.99

Cons

  • 3.9 from 11 reviews
  • Warp in UK reviews
  • Uneven weld in one review
  • Dishwasher field No

Best for: You want a wide stainless sheet at this price and you can return it if the surface arrives uneven.

Less suitable: You want a long review record or a coated non-stick top.

Common questions

Can it be used on an induction hob?

The listing asks. The spec block does not say yes. The highlight is a gas-grill griddle with two handles.

Is it dishwasher safe?

No. The dishwasher field is No, and the non-stick field is No.

Does it come with a cover?

The listing asks. The bullets do not include a cover. They do include raised edges, a grease trough, welded braces, and two side handles.

How we compared

Twelve amazon.co.uk listings were scored out of 100, using the split dated 20 October 2026. Stars are up to 50: the star line out of 5, times 10. Review count is up to 12, from the amazon.co.uk line for that ASIN. Under 20 ratings that block is 0. It then steps up with the file and stops at 12, so 4,421 reviews score the same 12 as 1,077. Job match is up to 16 for a named fit, a stated thickness, a trough, a reversible surface, or a dishwasher field that is actually filled. A title that fights a highlight loses points inside that block or as a named deduction. No plate was seared, weighed for thickness, or checked in a laboratory.

Amazon stars

50%

Up to 50 points. Stars out of 5, times 10. A 4.2 becomes 42. A missing star line would score 0 on this block. The figure is the amazon.co.uk line for that ASIN, not a cook score.

2

Review count

12%

Up to 12 points from the amazon.co.uk count for that ASIN. Under 20 ratings the block is 0. It then steps up with the file and does not rise past 12, so a very large count scores the same 12 as about 1,000 reviews.

3

Job match

16%

Up to 16 points for a named fit, a stated thickness, a trough, a reversible surface, or a dishwasher field that is filled. A title that fights a highlight loses points inside this block.

4

Filled fields and deductions

22%

The three blocks above total 78. The remaining 22 is headroom on the 100-point scale. Score notes add points when a dishwasher field is Yes, and named deductions come off: thin-sheet heat and flex, a rocking casting, coating damage, induction disputes, rust, a loose handle, a short UK text sample, a Spirit 300 title against a Spirit 400 highlight, first-cook sticking, warp, and cracks.

Griddle plate buying guide

Fit decides this purchase before stars do. A barbecue insert, a reversible hob pan, a 28 cm grill pan, and a Camp Bistro plate are four different jobs. Bare iron, thin stainless, and a coating fail in different ways. The twelve listings below are amazon.co.uk pages scored as listings. No plate was cooked on for this page.

What is a griddle plate?

A griddle plate is a flat or ridged cooking surface you set on a barbecue, hob, oven, or camp stove you already own. It is not a gas plancha with its own burners, and it is not a plugged-in electric griddle. UK shoppers buy one to fry eggs and smash burgers with fewer flare-ups, or to get grill marks indoors. Quality is the match of material to the job. Bare cast iron holds heat and rusts if it stays wet. Thin stainless heats faster and warps, or loses sear temperature, more easily.

Best for

  • Gas-barbecue owners who want a full-width insert and will preheat with the lid down
  • Hob cooks who want a reversible pan across two burners and will check induction
  • Camp Bistro 3 or DLX owners who want the plate that stores with the stove

Not ideal for

  • Anyone buying on the photo or on the words fits most
  • A 58 cm barbecue when the listing is a 24 cm camp plate
  • Indoor barbecuing, or a cracked casting you hope to season

Mistakes to avoid

  1. 1

    Buying on the photo

    A 28 cm square pan, a 50 cm reversible pan, and a 58 by 40 cm sheet are not the same object. Universal is not a size. Measure the grates or the hob, then match the centimetre line that the details actually print.

  2. 2

    Putting bare iron in the dishwasher

    Which? and BBC Good Food both say not to dishwasher bare cast iron. OVERMONT, nuovva, and Dayacoco print dishwasher No. Rust reviews often follow a wash that left the iron wet. Dry it and oil it.

  3. 3

    Trusting fits most on a cold thin sheet

    The Onlyfire stainless bullet states 1.2 mm, and UK reviews describe flex and a cooler surface with the lid open. Full heat on a cold thin sheet is how those complaints start. A Spirit 300 title against a Spirit 400 highlight is not a fit.

What to weigh up

Heat source and cookbox

High

Heat source and cookbox come first. Measure the grates or the hob. A title that says universal is not a size. Weber Spirit years differ, and a front-control cookbox is not a side-control cookbox. Weber UK part 6790 is £189.99 and sits outside these twelve ASINs. It fits listed Spirit years, and the 2025 table does not list that full-size griddle for the 2025 two-burner or three-burner. On this page, a 28 cm square pan is the Kordisen hob pan.

Material and care

High

Match the material to the job you will actually do after the cook. Bare cast iron needs a thin coat of oil and a dry cupboard. Which? and BBC Good Food both say not to dishwasher bare iron. OVERMONT, nuovva, and Dayacoco print dishwasher No, and rust reviews follow wet iron. Pre-seasoned does not mean the first breakfast will release. One Dayacoco review says pancakes stuck, and nuovva reviewers built another oil layer after the first cooks stuck.

Which option suits you?

Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.

Gas-barbecue insert

You want a flat top on a gas barbecue and you will preheat with the lid down. The Onlyfire stainless plate is about £59.99, at 4.2 from 1,641 reviews, with a grease trough and 1.2 mm stated in the bullet. UK reviews say it flexes and stays cooler with the lid open. Measure the grates. It is not cut for a Weber Spirit.

Hob or two burners

You want one reversible iron pan for a gas hob or a barbecue, and you will dry and oil it. The OVERMONT OM-Griddle-II is about £29.17, at 4.2 from 770 reviews. The details say 51.2 by 23.5 cm. UK reviews dispute the induction claim, and the iron rusts if it stays wet.

Camp Bistro top

You already cook on a Campingaz Camp Bistro 3 or DLX and want the plate that stores with the stove. Part 2214381 is about £18.95, at 4.8 from 480 reviews, about 24 by 22.4 cm. It is not a cover for a household gas barbecue. Two UK reviews report coating damage.

Common questions about Griddle plates

Which griddle plate is the top pick in 2026?
The top pick is the Onlyfire stainless plate, F-BGG8201-SS-EU, at about £59.99. It scores 74, the highest mark here, from 4.2 and 1,641 amazon.co.uk reviews. The bullets add a grease trough and 1.2 mm steel. UK reviews say the sheet flexes and stays cooler unless the lid stays down. Measure the grates: the title length and the bullet do not match. This is a listing score, not a cook test.
Which griddle plate is the best value?
The best value is the OVERMONT OM-Griddle-II at about £29.17. It scores 70, with 4.2 from 770 reviews, the strongest price against review count among reversible pans that clear 68. The details say 51.2 by 23.5 cm. Use that centimetre line, not the inch bullet. UK reviews dispute induction, and the iron rusts if it stays wet. Campingaz scores 71 and costs less, but it is a camp-stove top, so it stays off this badge.
How much does a griddle plate cost on amazon.co.uk?
Under £25 on these amazon.co.uk listings: Campingaz about £18.95, Dayacoco about £22.99, and Kordisen about £23.79. From about £25 to £60: OVERMONT, nuovva, NutriChef, WUDLEP, and both Onlyfire plates at about £59.99. From about £90 to £105: the Spirit ceramic, the honeycomb, and the stainless kit. Weber UK part 6790 is £189.99 and is not one of these twelve ASINs. These bands are this shelf set, not a market census.
What should you measure before you buy a griddle plate?
Measure the grates or the hob before you read the stars. Universal is not a size. Weber Spirit years differ, and front controls are not side controls. The Onlyfire Spirit iron bullet names Spirit I and II 300 models with front controls, plus some 2025 four-burners, and it says to measure. The ceramic title says Spirit 300 and the highlight says Spirit 400. A 28 cm pan is a hob pan. A 58 cm sheet is a barbecue insert.
Should you choose cast iron or stainless steel?
Bare cast iron holds heat and rusts if it stays wet. Which? and BBC Good Food both say not to dishwasher bare iron. Thin stainless heats faster and loses sear temperature more easily. One Onlyfire bullet states 1.2 mm, and UK reviews of that plate describe flex with the lid open. A coating skips seasoning until it blisters. Pre-seasoned does not mean the first cook will release. PFOA-free does not mean free of every PFAS.
Can you put a griddle plate in the dishwasher?
Only when the listing field says Yes. That field is Yes on the Onlyfire stainless plate, the Onlyfire kit, and the Kordisen pan. It is No on Campingaz, OVERMONT, nuovva, the Spirit ceramic, the honeycomb, Dayacoco, and WUDLEP. It is missing on the Spirit cast-iron insert and on NutriChef. Which? and BBC Good Food both say not to dishwasher bare iron. A Yes field is the seller’s line, not a wash cycle described in the UK reviews.
Is a griddle plate the same as a plancha?
A griddle plate here sits on a barbecue, hob, oven, or camp stove you already own. A plancha with its own burners is a different product, set out in the plancha griddle plate comparison. None of these twelve ASINs is a plugged-in electric griddle. NutriChef is filed under Electric Griddles on this listing, and its feature bullets describe server-rack shelves. Ignore those bullets.
Are any of these plates in the Emba recall?
No. OPSS recall 2502-0151, dated 13 March 2025, covers Emba cast-iron skillets and a reversible griddle for migratable metals. None of these twelve ASINs is Emba. Food-contact articles still have to meet Article 3 of retained Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004, enforced in England through the 2012 food-contact regulations. Do not barbecue indoors. A cracked plate is finished, not a seasoning fault. A gas leak is an engineer’s job.

Our verdict

The top pick is the Onlyfire stainless plate, F-BGG8201-SS-EU, at about £59.99. It scores 74, the highest mark in this set, from 4.2 and 1,641 amazon.co.uk reviews, with a grease trough and 1.2 mm stated in the bullet. UK reviews still describe flex and a cooler surface with the lid open. The best value is the OVERMONT OM-Griddle-II at about £29.17, score 70, the strongest price against review count among reversible pans that clear 68. The Campingaz plate scores 71 and costs less, and it stays off that badge because it is a camp-stove top. None of these scores is a cook test. Measure the grates before you order.
