Bringing the exactness of a professional kitchen to the backyard, Induction Hardware has debuted the world's first outdoor induction griddle. It delivers the high-level performance chefs expect, but completely removes the lingering fire hazards that come with traditional gas setups.

Professional Control, Engineered for Outdoors

The design goes far beyond a sleek exterior. At its core is a removable carbon-steel griddle that rests over four oversized, square induction coils. This setup gives you total control over your cooking surface: use a single zone for a quick sear, dual zones for multitasking, or bridge them together for flawless, edge-to-edge heating.

Two Appliances in One

But the smartest feature might be its duality. Lift the griddle plate off, and the unit instantly transforms into a fully functional outdoor induction cooktop — ready for everything from a cast-iron skillet to a stockpot.

The Centerpiece of the Modern Outdoor Kitchen

While it isn't priced for a casual, budget-friendly patio setup, it is built to be the undisputed centerpiece of a modern outdoor kitchen — capable of handling everything from a perfectly seared ribeye to a simmering pot of fresh pasta.
