Are flat top grills difficult to clean?

No, flat top grills are much easier to clean than traditional grills. A smooth surface means there are no grates or gaps for food to get stuck in, while a built-in grease trap or channel collects drippings with no mess. Just a quick scrape with a spatula and a wipe with a cloth or paper towel provides an easy cleanup, especially on a steel or cast-iron top with a non-stick seasoning layer, all without scrubbing traditional grill grates or dealing with ash.

Can I use pots and pans on the flat top grill surface?

Yes, you can use pots and pans on a flat top grill surface, but there are a few things to consider. Heavy-duty flat tops can handle the weight and heat of pots and pans, allowing you to boil water, make sauces, and cook items that need a container, while still using the flat top for other foods. However, flat tops with a delicate seasoning layer like carbon steel or cast iron can scratch from dragging pots, while very heavy pots can stress the surface or legs. For the best results, use flat-bottomed cookware for better contact and stability, and lift pots instead of sliding them to prevent scratches.
