A flat plate: no flare-ups, and nothing falls through · review
A 17 × 13 in stainless plate at 4590 g (161.9 oz) — the most metal per square inch on this shelf.
What we would actually buy The densest plate on this shelf — 20.8 grams per square inch, forty per cent more metal per inch than VEVOR’s own larger plates — and the only one of the five with removable handles. Thirty-six dollars for 221 square inches.
Bullet 1: stainless steel. Bullet 4: cast iron.
The title says “Stainless Steel Griddle”, and all five VEVOR plates on this shelf carry the identical bullet set, word for word — so bullet 4 is a copy-paste from another product line, not a fact about this plate.
It matters for how you look after it. Bare cast iron must be seasoned and kept oiled or it rusts. Stainless needs neither.
Treat it as stainless. Do not season it.
20.8 grams of metal per square inch — the most on this shelf.
None of these listings publishes a plate thickness, which is the specification that matters most on a griddle. But the published weights and areas give it to you:
So this plate carries about forty per cent more metal per inch than its own larger siblings.
A griddle cooks by stored heat, not by flame.
Put six cold burgers on a thin plate and the surface temperature collapses — the meat steams in its own juice and greys instead of browning. A thick plate has enough heat in it to keep going, which is the entire difference between a smash burger with a crust and a sad grey patty.
The cost is patience: a thick plate takes longer to come up to temperature.
Can handle temperatures up to 500℉.
VEVOR publishes this on all five of its plates, and nobody else on this shelf publishes a limit at all.
It is worth reading carefully, because 500 °F is roughly the surface temperature a smash burger wants, and a gas grill on full will push well past it. So the rating is a real constraint rather than a reassurance: this plate should not be run over wide-open burners for long.
This is the only one of the five whose second bullet differs.
Removable handles, which matter on a plate that lives in a cupboard — fixed handles make a 17-inch plate awkward to stack, and they are also what stops the grill lid closing.
Hollow vents for even airflow. The more interesting of the two: a solid plate across gas burners blocks the convection path the grill is designed around. DeintYei makes the same argument on this shelf, warning that oversized griddles harm “your grill’s heat flow and long-term performance”.
Seventeen by thirteen inches covers one side of most gas grills.
That leaves the other side as bare grate — so you can smash burgers on the plate and grill sausages beside them, and the grill keeps breathing. DeintYei builds its whole listing on this idea, at three times the price per square inch.
No plate thickness, on any of the seven listings here. No scraper in the box — COZEER is the only plate on this shelf that includes one, and a griddle is unusable without a scraper. X-shaped bottom reinforcement is the only anti-warping feature named anywhere on this shelf; VEVOR has it on all five.
On sale at around $36 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

Stainless, on the evidence of the title and the first bullet — but the page says both, and it is worth knowing before you choose how to care for it. Bullet 1: "Made from durable stainless steel, this griddle for gas grill can handle temperatures up to 500℉." Bullet 4: "The cast iron construction is built to last and easy to maintain." Those are not the same metal, and all five VEVOR plates on this shelf carry the identical bullet set, so this is a copy-paste from another product line rather than a fact about this plate. It matters practically: bare cast iron must be seasoned and kept oiled or it rusts, whereas stainless needs neither. Treat it as stainless — the title says "Stainless Steel Griddle" — and do not season it.
Because it is thicker, and thickness is the specification that matters most on a griddle. None of these listings publishes a plate thickness, but the published weights and areas give it to you: 20.8 g (0.7 oz) per square inch here, against 14.9 for VEVOR’s 18 × 16, 13.5 for the 32 × 16 and 12.4 for the 36 × 22. So this plate carries around forty per cent more metal per inch than its larger siblings. A thicker plate stores more heat, which means it holds its temperature when cold food lands on it instead of dropping — the single thing that separates a griddle that sears a smash burger from one that steams it. It also takes longer to come up to heat. The COZEER on this shelf is 17.3 g (0.6 oz) per square inch.
They are the only features that set this plate apart from the other four VEVORs, whose bullet 2 is generic. This one states "removable handles for easy storage, a grease trough to prevent flare-ups, sidewalls to keep food in place, and hollow vents for even airflow". Removable handles matter on a plate that lives in a cupboard — fixed handles make a 17-inch plate awkward to stack, and they are also what gets in the way of closing the grill lid. The vents are the more interesting claim: a solid plate over gas burners blocks the convection path, and a vented one lets some heat through. DeintYei on this shelf makes the same point differently, warning that oversized griddles harm "your grill’s heat flow and long-term performance".
Close prices, same category: comparable cookware and knives. We keep only the specifications all of them publish, because a column with gaps compares nothing.
