Weber Genesis Crafted Collection Accessories

Good useful accessory! Glad I bought it.

I wished I could give a 4.5 stars, but 4 seemed too low. I bought this griddle insert yesterday in order to cook pork steaks for a group of guests. I was concerned when I read in the instructions that seasoning first was required. The instructions mentioned doing the seasoning 3 times before the first cook allowing for cooling between seasonings. I jumped right in and was able to do the three seasonings all in time before the guests arrived and I need to start cooking. Took about 4 hours total t...

easy to season, easy to use

The manual does a good job of describing how to season the griddle. We seasoned ours four times and it came out very good. Just realize that you're trying to put on a thin layer of oil to polymerize with the steel, but not so much that it's just going to be goopy. After seasoning, I've cooked beef fajitas and mongolian steak and both came out very good. For my 2-burner Spirit II E-210, Medium on both burners was about 450F on the griddle, though as I cooked with the top open I'd lose heat and n...

My favorite Weber accessory

I can't say enough about the Weber grill insert. We use it all the time for burgers, steaks, vegetables, fried rice and much more. I love that the mess is outside and not on my stove. Cleanup is easy. After reading the reviews I was a little nervous about it rusting since we live in the south with high humidity. I followed the package instructions for seasoning and also used the Crisbee stick mentioned in another review and have had no issues with rust. I clean it after each use, first...

Great griddle, on par with cast iron, but larger.

I have owned this griddle for a few weeks now, long enough to give a good analysis. Like a good cast iron pan, this griddle requires care and seasoning. It is steel so if not cared for, it can rust. That said it is a very thick, well constructed plate of steel. When I ordered it, I also ordered what I needed to season it. From a major online retailer I purchased Crispbee Stick. This product works extremely well for seasoning when applied following the instructions. I seasoned it twice before use...

Great to cook on but needs other accessories too

I love how it cooks and it's easy to use. My gripes are that you can't just buy this and use it, it requires another accessory that you have to buy before you can even put this thing in your grill which feels like a silly cash grab from Weber. Also be aware that you won't be able to take it out of the box and start cooking, you need to season it first which took me about two and a half hours to get done before it was ready to go. I also wish there was an option to have a griddle the size of the ...

Rust!!! Awful!

Got this as a gift for our Genesis grill. Watched the video and followed the directions for proper maintenence. So excited to make the grill part griddle for cooking breakfasts. Sadly, very disappointed. It rusts between each use. We have had it for almost 2 years now and we store it in the side grill locker. And the grill is covered in between uses. It is completely rusted every time we pull it out even though we have followed the care instructions. I am done scraping rust and oiling it ev...

Amazing quality and great product

The product is smooth and built really well. It took season quick and day one was cooking fajita veggies with no sticking and perfect char. I have a e325 and the heat was even. One thing to note, with that grill, you will have a gap on either side of the skillet to the sidewalls of the grill but the raised edges of the skillet make it a non issue. The package was clearly design to avoid rust in transit as it had an oiled plastic slip. For the most part, this worked great. There was a tiny mark ...

Expand your Grilling with a Griddle insert.

I love this griddle insert. I have grilled delicious meals - stir-fry, fajitas, breakfast, smash burgers - and each one was easy and flavorful. It is very easy to lift out part of the grill and set in the griddle. Seasoning the grill was not a problem. Just make sure that the griddle insert you order is the right size for your grill. Confirm with the website chat before you buy. The website is not clear on some of the accessories for specific grills. I love my grill and griddle insert it has ex...

Rusts easily and hard to keep clean.

This is very hard to keep clean. You cannot clean the residual food off the edge. It seems to get stuck in the corners. On other grills you just scrape it off the flat edge into a reservoir. Also a lot of the seasoning seems to come off and eventually rusts as shown in the picture.

Rust issues

I bought this earlier in the year. I followed the directions carefully to make sure the griddle was seasoned properly. I LOVE the way it works - it's heavy as heck but it works great. The only issue I have is RUST! I clean it according to the directions, make sure it is completely dry before stowing it away in the accessory cabinet on the side. The grill is completely covered so no water is getting in. Why is this happening? I know see that you are promoting a line of "rust proof griddles...
