Weber Crafted Large Rust-Resistant Carbon-Steel Griddle Insert — Pre-Seasoned, Fits Weber Crafted Frame Kit

The Weber Crafted® Large Rust-Resistant Griddle is a case-hardened, pre-seasoned carbon-steel griddle insert that converts a compatible Weber grill into a versatile flat-top for searing, smashing burgers, and sautéing without extra coatings.

Make your existing Weber grill more flexible by swapping a right-side grate for this heavy-duty griddle insert. Built from carbon steel and finished with a case-hardening process, the griddle arrives pre-seasoned so it resists corrosion and offers a naturally developing nonstick surface. It pairs with the Weber Crafted® Frame Kit and matching cooking grates, letting you griddle on one side while retaining direct-flame searing on the other.

How quickly can I start cooking with this griddle?

The griddle is pre-seasoned at the factory, so you can begin cooking as soon as it’s installed. That initial seasoning gives a protective layer and improves release; additional seasoning will build up with regular use to enhance performance.

• Pre-seasoned carbon-steel surface — ready out of the box
• Case-hardened finish for initial rust resistance
• No polymer or ceramic coatings — safe to use metal tools
• Season further on-grill with oil to increase natural nonstick

Which Weber grills and accessories are required for fit and use?

This griddle is designed for Weber Crafted® setups and requires the Weber Crafted Frame Kit plus compatible Weber Crafted cooking grates for installation. It directly fits recent Genesis models listed and many Spirit and pellet grills when paired with the correct frame and grates.

• Compatible with 2022 Genesis E-325s/EX-325s/S-325s/SX-325s using the Frame Kit
• Works with Genesis and Spirit models from 2016 onward with correct frame
• Also fits Searwood, Weber Smoque, and SmokeFire pellet grills with Frame Kit
• Requires removal of right-side cooking grate to install

What cooking styles and foods does the griddle handle well?

The flat carbon-steel top excels at even browning and fast, consistent heat transfer. Use it for breakfast staples, smash burgers, stir-fried vegetables, fajitas, seafood, pancakes and more — and take advantage of simultaneous grate searing for mixed cooking methods.

• Crisp bacon and eggs with quick, even heat
• Smash burgers with superior contact for a caramelized crust
• Sear veggies and make skillet-style meals with one surface
• Use left grate for direct-flame searing while griddling right

How do I maintain and clean the carbon-steel griddle?

Because the surface has no polymer coatings, clean it by scraping and re-seasoning rather than harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that remove seasoning. Routine maintenance keeps the rust-resistant finish effective and ensures long service life.

• Scrape food residue after cooling slightly, then wipe with oil
• Reapply a thin coat of high-smoke-point oil after cleaning
• Avoid soaking and acidic cleaners that can strip seasoning
• Store dry and lightly oiled to preserve rust resistance

Who is this for? The Weber Crafted® Large Rust-Resistant Griddle is aimed at home grillers who want a durable, high-contact flat-top surface on their compatible Weber grills. It’s ideal for people who cook a variety of foods—breakfast, burgers, veggies—want to use metal tools without worry, and appreciate the convenience of griddling while still having direct-flame grates available for searing. If you already own a supported Weber grill and the Crafted Frame Kit, this griddle adds a reliable, ready-to-use cooking surface that broadens what you can make outdoors.
