Royal Gourmet PD1301S Portable 24-Inch 3-Burner Table Top Gas Grill Griddle with Cover, 25,500 BTUs, Outdoor Cooking Camping or Tailgating, Black

The Royal Gourmet PD1301R is an awesome little griddle, and you really can’t beat the price! I’ve always wanted a griddle, but the bigger ones were either too large or too expensive for my needs. Since I only cook for 3 people, having a large griddle felt like overkill and a waste of space.This 24-inch, 3-burner tabletop model is the perfect size for me. It heats evenly, has plenty of cooking space, and is very easy to clean. I had one of those griddles that you add to the top of a normal gas grill, and it didn’t work great and was a pain to clean. This griddle is so much better in terms of functionality and ease of cleaning. The cover is a nice bonus, making it portable and convenient for outdoor cooking. If you’re looking for a compact, budget-friendly griddle that performs great, this one is a fantastic option!

This is really nice. I use it on camping trips. It works great just the right size for two people.

Absolutely love this griddle! Super easy to put together and use. Wonderful design with very even heat distribution, only one cooler spot on the front near the drain hole but it’s negligible. The build quality is pretty good with the griddle plate itself being a good thickness. After I put it together I did a burn in for about 15-20 minutes. Then I made chicken fajitas on it for the first cook. They turned out amazing! Even though the griddle is porcelain coated it’s not non stick. You’ve gotta use oil when cooking or your food will stick. The coating does make for easy clean up though and the drain cup has pretty large capacity. I’ve made pancakes and eggs for breakfast and they get done super fast even on low heat. Now for the spider part, the stand I use for it must have had a jumping spider on it near the top. After my first burn in I was satisfied with how it was preforming so I decided to cook. About half way through cooking i noticed flames coming out of the back of the griddle. I looked under the griddle at the burners and the center burner was putting out the big yellow flames you don’t want to see. The next day I took the center burner out and went to clean it out. I flung out what I thought was plastic but then it began crawling across my kitchen floor. It was a good sized jumping spider, I took it back outside but further away from my patio. After clearing out the spider and its nest the burner functions just fine. Tonight I made a stir fry on it an I am so happy with my purchase. 100% recommend getting this if you’re wanting to cook at the lake, camping, or anywhere you desire. It’s very portable and can feed 4-6 people with one cook session.

The cooking surface is heavier than I expected ... a big plus. I washed and seasoned it following the directions. No problem with sticking so far...but I have't tried it with eggs or pancakes. It was easy to set up and all burners lit first try with the igniter. It works great for my purposes...mostly meat and veggies. Slightly uneven heat on surface, but manageable once you learn the hot spots. I do recommend pre heating on high and lowering heat to cook. Easy to clean...I put a small stainless container of water on one corner of the griddle to heat while I'm cooking. When I remove the food, and while it is still hot, I just pour a small amount of the hot water on the surface and scrape it into the receptacle with a silicon spatula. Then just wipe off the surface with paper towels. No need to re-season if you don't use soap. I have not used metal utensils at all...don't want to risk a scratch. The grease receptacle is easy to empty and wash for the next use. I watched LOTS of videos of guys cooking on all brands of "flat top" grills. Lots of good tips, techniques and recipes there. My favorite is to push the fat outside edge of a steak up against the lip of the griddle to brown it perfectly. I'd recommend this griddle to anyone who likes meat, but not the smell or mess when cooking inside. Another reason to have a propane griddle...if we have another power black out this winter, we still have a way to cook that doesn't involve building a fire. Keep in mind that this is ONLY for cooking outdoors...NOT inside your home. BTW I am a woman who does not enjoy grilling, but I do love this flat top grill.
