flat top grill

Solid metal cooktop

A flat top grill is a cooking surface with a solid, level metal plate rather than open grates.

Common in diners and commercial kitchens, it provides even heat distribution for cooking multiple items simultaneously: The short-order cook worked the flat top grill, flipping pancakes and frying eggs.

The flat surface prevents small items from falling through and allows cooking in pooled grease or butter.
