The Skinny Griddle
"The world's best consumer cooking surface."
— J. Kenji López-Alt, Serious Eats
The Baking Steel Skinny Griddle is a reversible carbon steel slab built for the two things home cooks actually want to nail: smashburgers with a crust like a steakhouse, and pizza with a blistered, crispy bottom. One slab. Two surfaces. No coatings, no replacing, ever.
Flip it smooth-side up across two burners and you have a professional flat-top griddle. Flip it textured-side up in your oven and you have the original Baking Steel that started the home-pizza revolution. At 11.5" wide, it's the only two-burner griddle that doesn't take over your entire stovetop.
22 lbs. 3/8" thick. Pre-seasoned. Made in the USA. Lifetime warranty.
Why home cooks are switching from cast iron
Carbon steel conducts heat 20x more effectively than cast iron. That means faster preheat, better sear, and consistent temperature recovery between burgers — cast iron drops 50°F after the first smash, steel barely budges. Same natural nonstick patina. Half the weight. Reversible. And it doesn't take a year to break in.
Built for smashburgers
The 11.5" x 20" griddle surface holds enough heat to sear 4 smashburgers at once without losing temperature. The thickness (3/8") is what separates this from $40 flat-tops — heat capacity is everything when meat hits steel. Crank to 500°F, smash, sear, repeat. Same crust you get at the best burger spot in your city.
Built for pizza
Flip it over. The textured side is the same Baking Steel that Kenji called the most impressive home pizza product he'd ever tested. Preheat 45 minutes at 550°F, launch your pie, and pull a Neapolitan-style pizza out in 5 minutes. Blistered top. Crispy bottom. The oven temperature you wish you had.
Perfect For:
- Smashburger and breakfast lovers — the smooth side delivers serious sear and natural nonstick performance
- Pizza and bread bakers — the textured side bakes with the same heat conductivity as every Baking Steel
- Home cooks who want flat-top griddle power — spans two burners for restaurant-style breakfast, lunch, and dinner
- Kitchens with limited counter or stovetop space — the narrow 11.5" width fits where wider griddles don't
- Anyone ditching chemical nonstick pans — natural seasoning, no PFOA/PTFE, no coatings
What Can I Make on the Skinny Griddle?
Griddle side: Smashburgers, pancakes, French toast, eggs, bacon, quesadillas, grilled cheese, seared steaks, seared fish, hash browns, fajitas, vegetables.
Baking Steel side: Pizza (Neapolitan, NY-style, Detroit, frozen), sourdough bread, baguettes, focaccia, flatbreads, English muffins, roasted vegetables.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Baking Steel Skinny Griddle?
An 11.5" x 20" x 3/8" thick reversible carbon steel slab. One side is a smooth flat-top griddle for stovetop cooking. The other is a textured Baking Steel for pizza and bread. At 22 pounds, it spans two burners in a slim profile that leaves room on your stovetop.
What's the difference between the Skinny Griddle and the regular Griddle?
Both are reversible with a griddle side and baking steel side. The regular Griddle (14" x 18") is wider and covers more of your stovetop. The Skinny (11.5" x 20") is narrower and longer — it spans two burners lengthwise while leaving room for pots and pans on the rest of your stovetop. Same 3/8" thickness, similar weight. Choose the Skinny if you want to use your stovetop for multiple things at once.
What's the difference between the Skinny Griddle and the Mini?
The Mini (11.5" x 11.5") fits one burner and weighs 12 lbs — it's portable for camping and tailgating. The Skinny (11.5" x 20") spans two burners and weighs 22 lbs — it's a full-size flat-top griddle in a narrow footprint. Both are reversible with the same 3/8" thickness.
Is the Baking Steel Skinny Griddle worth $189?
It replaces your pizza stone, cast iron skillet, and flat-top griddle — all in one slim, reversible piece of steel. No chemical coatings, no cracking, and it lasts a lifetime. If you want two-burner griddle power without taking over your entire stovetop, the Skinny is your best option.
Can I make pizza on the Skinny Griddle?
Yes. Use the textured side in your oven — same heat conductivity and performance as every Baking Steel. Preheat at 500–550°F for 45–60 minutes and bake pizza in 5–7 minutes. The 20" length gives you room for pizzas up to about 11 inches.
Can I use the Skinny Griddle on my stovetop?
Yes. The smooth griddle side spans two standard burners on gas, electric, or induction cooktops. The narrow 11.5" width leaves room on your stovetop for other pots and pans.
Does the Skinny Griddle work on induction?
Yes. Carbon steel is magnetic and fully compatible with induction cooktops.
Can I use the Skinny Griddle on a grill?
Yes. It works on gas and charcoal grills. Preheat for 10-15 minutes, then use either side — griddle side for burgers and vegetables, baking steel side for pizza and bread.
Is the Skinny Griddle nonstick?
It develops a natural nonstick patina over time through seasoning — just like cast iron. No chemical coatings, no PFOA, no PTFE. It comes pre-seasoned and gets better with every use.
Is the Skinny Griddle better than cast iron?
Carbon steel conducts heat 20 times more effectively than cast iron, giving you faster, more even cooking and better searing. Like cast iron, it develops a natural nonstick patina — but with superior heat performance and a reversible design.
How do I season the Skinny Griddle?
It comes pre-seasoned and ready to use. Over time, re-season by applying a thin coat of flaxseed or vegetable oil and baking at 500°F for one hour. Only needed once or twice a year. The griddle side builds seasoning naturally every time you cook on it.
How do I clean the Skinny Griddle?
After it cools, wipe down with a damp cloth or scrape with a bench scraper. For stuck-on food or surface rust, use our Cleaning Bricks. Mild soap is okay. Dry thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil. Never put it in the dishwasher.
Can I leave the Skinny Griddle in the oven?
Yes. It acts as a heat stabilizer, improving overall oven performance. Just remove it when you need the space.
What's the warranty on the Skinny Griddle?
Lifetime warranty against defects. If your steel cracks or breaks during normal use, we replace it. No questions asked.
