griddle pan

Ridged frying surface

A griddle pan is a flat or nearly flat cooking pan with a handle, typically featuring raised ridges that create grill marks on food.

The ridges also allow fat to drain away from meat.

Unlike a standard griddle, which is completely flat, a griddle pan mimics outdoor grilling: I seared the steaks on a cast-iron griddle pan.
