Smaller than many backyard griddles, the Steelfire can be purchased as a countertop device — ideal for those with existing backyard setups — or with a stand, turning into a standalone griddle. It is gorgeous, sleek and hides some serious tech under the hood.
More than that, the brand claims it’s the “first commercial-grade griddle built for the backyard chef.” That might be clever verbiage, but it speaks to the brand’s pride and confidence, which bears plenty of weight.
Harness the flame
The Steelfire hinges on a proprietary cooking surface and ultra-efficient, patent-pending dual Solo Racetrack Burners, which maximize the griddle’s cooking potential. This configuration also makes up for its relatively small overall surface area, as there are no hot spots to work around — every inch stays even.
It’s not just efficiency in the cooking area, either. The griddle can heat up in just seven minutes from cold, courtesy of its 3-ply clad stainless steel griddle surface. For reference, that’s up 35 percent faster than traditional cast iron. It’s also easier to care for and clean, as it’s resistant to corrosion, rust and so on.
