The Skinny Griddle
The Slim Two-Burner Griddle That Does Double Duty
The Baking Steel Skinny Griddle (11.5" x 20" x 3/8") is a 22-pound reversible slab of solid carbon steel designed to span two stovetop burners without hogging counter space. One side is a smooth, polished flat-top griddle for restaurant-style cooking — pancakes, eggs, smashburgers, seared steaks. Flip it over for a true Baking Steel — pizza, flatbreads, sourdough, and crusty bread in your oven or on the grill. Two professional surfaces in one slim, efficient steel.
Pre-seasoned and ready to use right out of the box. Made in the USA. Lifetime warranty.
Perfect For:
- Home cooks who want flat-top griddle power — spans two burners for restaurant-style breakfast, lunch, and dinner
- Kitchens with limited counter or stovetop space — the narrow 11.5" width fits where wider griddles don't
- Smashburger and breakfast lovers — the smooth side delivers serious sear and natural nonstick performance
- Pizza and bread bakers — the textured side bakes with the same heat conductivity as every Baking Steel
- Anyone ditching chemical nonstick pans — natural seasoning, no PFOA/PTFE, no coatings
Why the Skinny?
At 11.5" wide and 20" long, the Skinny spans two burners lengthwise while leaving room on your stovetop for pots and pans. Most flat-top griddles are 14–18 inches wide and take over your entire cooktop. The Skinny gives you the same two-burner cooking surface in a narrower footprint, so you can griddle smashburgers on one side of the stove and boil pasta on the other.
Why Two Sides?
Smooth side (Griddle): Set across two stovetop burners and cook like a professional flat-top. At 3/8" thick, it stores and radiates more heat than thin restaurant griddles — meaning fast temperature recovery and restaurant-level searing. The carbon steel surface develops a natural nonstick patina over time with no chemical coatings.
Textured side (Baking Steel): Place in your oven, preheat to 500–550°F for 45–60 minutes, and bake pizza in 5–7 minutes. Same heat conductivity as every Baking Steel — blistered crusts, explosive oven spring, crispy bottoms. Also works for sourdough, baguettes, focaccia, and flatbreads.
What Can I Make on the Skinny Griddle?
Griddle side: Smashburgers, pancakes, French toast, eggs, bacon, quesadillas, grilled cheese, seared steaks, seared fish, hash browns, fajitas, vegetables.
Baking Steel side: Pizza (Neapolitan, NY-style, Detroit, frozen), sourdough bread, baguettes, focaccia, flatbreads, English muffins, roasted vegetables.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Baking Steel Skinny Griddle?
An 11.5" x 20" x 3/8" thick reversible carbon steel slab. One side is a smooth flat-top griddle for stovetop cooking. The other is a textured Baking Steel for pizza and bread. At 22 pounds, it spans two burners in a slim profile that leaves room on your stovetop.
What's the difference between the Skinny Griddle and the regular Griddle?
Both are reversible with a griddle side and baking steel side. The regular Griddle (14" x 18") is wider and covers more of your stovetop. The Skinny (11.5" x 20") is narrower and longer — it spans two burners lengthwise while leaving room for pots and pans on the rest of your stovetop. Same 3/8" thickness, similar weight. Choose the Skinny if you want to use your stovetop for multiple things at once.
What's the difference between the Skinny Griddle and the Mini?
The Mini (11.5" x 11.5") fits one burner and weighs 12 lbs — it's portable for camping and tailgating. The Skinny (11.5" x 20") spans two burners and weighs 22 lbs — it's a full-size flat-top griddle in a narrow footprint. Both are reversible with the same 3/8" thickness.
Is the Baking Steel Skinny Griddle worth $189?
It replaces your pizza stone, cast iron skillet, and flat-top griddle — all in one slim, reversible piece of steel. No chemical coatings, no warping, no cracking, and it lasts a lifetime. If you want two-burner griddle power without taking over your entire stovetop, the Skinny is your best option.
Can I make pizza on the Skinny Griddle?
Yes. Use the textured side in your oven — same heat conductivity and performance as every Baking Steel. Preheat at 500–550°F for 45–60 minutes and bake pizza in 5–7 minutes. The 20" length gives you room for pizzas up to about 11 inches.
Can I use the Skinny Griddle on my stovetop?
Yes. The smooth griddle side spans two standard burners on gas, electric, or induction cooktops. The narrow 11.5" width leaves room on your stovetop for other pots and pans.
Does the Skinny Griddle work on induction?
Yes. Carbon steel is magnetic and fully compatible with induction cooktops.
Can I use the Skinny Griddle on a grill?
Yes. It works on gas and charcoal grills. Preheat for 30–45 minutes, then use either side — griddle side for burgers and vegetables, baking steel side for pizza and bread.
Is the Skinny Griddle nonstick?
It develops a natural nonstick patina over time through seasoning — just like cast iron. No chemical coatings, no PFOA, no PTFE. It comes pre-seasoned and gets better with every use.
Is the Skinny Griddle better than cast iron?
Carbon steel conducts heat 20 times more effectively than cast iron, giving you faster, more even cooking and better searing. Like cast iron, it develops a natural nonstick patina — but with superior heat performance and a reversible design.
How do I season the Skinny Griddle?
It comes pre-seasoned and ready to use. Over time, re-season by applying a thin coat of flaxseed or vegetable oil and baking at 500°F for one hour. Only needed once or twice a year. The griddle side builds seasoning naturally every time you cook on it.
How do I clean the Skinny Griddle?
After it cools, wipe down with a damp cloth or scrape with a bench scraper. For stuck-on food or surface rust, use our Cleaning Bricks. Mild soap is okay. Dry thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil. Never put it in the dishwasher.
Can I leave the Skinny Griddle in the oven?
Yes. It acts as a heat stabilizer, improving overall oven performance. Just remove it when you need the space.
What's the warranty on the Skinny Griddle?
Lifetime warranty against defects. If your steel cracks or breaks during normal use, we replace it. No questions asked.
