Charbroil Performance Series 12" Griddle Insert — 270 sq. in. Porcelain-Coated Cast Iron, Fast Setup

The Charbroil Performance Series 12" Griddle Insert converts your gas grill into a 270 sq. in. flat-top griddle for quick breakfasts, seared sides, and stir‑fries.

Compact and fast to set up, this griddle insert was made to sit on your Performance Series grill grates so you can broaden what you cook outdoors without adding another appliance. Constructed from porcelain-coated cast iron, it delivers steady heat, natural nonstick performance, and simple cleanup while directing grease into your grill’s existing drainage system. It’s a straightforward way to cook pancakes, bacon, smash burgers, veggies, fajitas, and more on the grill you already own.

How quickly can I use the griddle after unpacking?

Out of the box the griddle is ready to go—no seasoning or complex assembly required. Just place the insert on your grill grates, preheat to the desired temperature, and start cooking in under a minute once the grill is hot.

• Set up in under 15 seconds—no tools or mounting needed.
• Preheat directly on burners for fast, even heat.
• Use immediately for breakfast, lunch, or dinner recipes.

What cooking results and foods is the insert best for?

The flat-top surface excels at foods that benefit from even contact heat and surface browning. It’s ideal for breakfast items, quick-cooked proteins, and sautéed vegetables, while the smooth surface helps produce consistent sear marks and easy flipping.

• Pancakes, eggs, and bacon cook evenly without falling through grates.
• Smash burgers and seared steaks get reliable contact heat for a good crust.
• Stir-fries, fajitas, and grilled vegetables use the full 270 sq. in. cooking area.

How does grease management and durability work on this insert?

The insert includes a built-in sidewall and a grease slot that channels drippings into your grill’s grease tray, keeping the cook surface cleaner and reducing flare-ups. Porcelain-coated cast iron gives strong heat retention and a low-maintenance finish that stands up to metal spatulas and everyday outdoor use.

• Grease slot directs drippings to the grill’s grease system for easy disposal.
• Porcelain coating resists rust and simplifies wiping or brushing clean.
• Cast iron core retains heat for stable cooking across the griddle.
