Our pick

Le Griddle The Wee Electric Griddle

Choose the Le Griddle Wee Electric for a compact built-in setup: its chassis is 17.5 inches wide and it uses a dedicated 15 amp circuit instead of gas.12

Why this one

  • Its 17.5-inch chassis takes less counter width than the Fire Magic’s 34.5-inch body. For a noncombustible enclosure, the opening is 14.75 inches wide by 16.75 inches deep; check the separate liner requirements for a combustible cabinet.13

Other contenders

  • Evo Affinity 30G Built-In Flatop Gas Grill

    Choose the propane Evo Affinity 30G when you want a round, seasoned-steel cooking surface. Its 30-inch plate needs the circular opening and front access shown in the installation template, so plan the countertop around that shape.467

  • Fire Magic Echelon Diamond 30-Inch Built-In Griddle

    Choose the Fire Magic for a natural-gas outdoor kitchen with room for its 34.5-inch body. Its hot-surface ignition also needs a 110V/120V power supply.358 Two burners and two back-lit control knobs provide two cooking zones for dishes that need different heat settings.8

For a kitchen with no gas line

The Wee needs a dedicated 15 amp electrical circuit. The lid is sold separately, so check that accessory before ordering.1

For a lifetime warranty on the steel

For residential use, the maker covers the plate and body for life and electronics for one year; apartment, multifamily and commercial use are excluded.1
