Slate® 30" Rust-Resistant Griddle with Extendable Side Table

Step up to a premium flat-top grilling experience with the sleek and stylish 30” Slate® Rust-Resistant Griddle. This model comes with premium features, including a digital temperature display, two Weber Works outdoor storage bins to keep griddle tools handy and protected from the weather, an extendable side table (right) to expand your prep area, and a fold-down side table (left) to free up space. Start sizzling fajitas, smashing burgers, and stir-frying right out of the box on the pre-seasoned carbon-steel cooktop that stays ready, not rusty, and uses after use. This griddle quickly reaches over 500ºF and provides even heat across the surface. Wind guards prevent the burners from blowing out, and the cooktop is set low to keep the temperature steady. Three independently controlled burners allow for multi-zone heat, so you can cook at different temperatures at the same time. Made with no coatings, you can use metal tools to flip, press, and scrape without worry. Plus, with the Weber Works™ Prep, Cook, and Store System you can keep cooking and cleaning supplies handy, carry food and condiments from the kitchen to the griddle, convert the side table into a prep station, and stow gear in tightly sealed containers (accessories sold separately).

Why should you buy Weber 1500013/1500420?

• Large, Versatile Flat-Top Cooking Surface
  Both models offer a 30-inch rust-resistant carbon-steel griddle surface that’s ideal for a huge range of foods — from burgers and pancakes to fajitas, stir-fries, steaks, and breakfast spreads. The flat top gives you more cooking style options than a traditional grill grate.
• Rust-Resistant, Pre-Seasoned Slate Cooktop

• Even Heat Across the Entire Surface
  Thanks to edge-to-edge heat distribution, you won’t get cold spots — your food cooks more uniformly no matter where it sits on the griddle.
• High Heat & Good Temperature Control
  The griddles can reach high temperatures (500°F+), perfect for searing and crispy edges, and have precision knobs and digital display (on some variants) to help you dial in the heat.
• Multi-Zone Cooking
  With three independently controlled burners, you can cook foods at different temperatures on the same surface — great for multitasking during big meals.
