A griddle, in the UK typically referred to simply as a frying pan or flat top, is a cooking device consisting mainly of a broad, usually flat cooking surface. Nowadays it can be either a movable metal pan- or plate-like utensil, a flat heated cooking surface built into a stove or
kitchen range, or a compact cooking machine with its own heating system attached to an integrated griddle acting as a cooktop.
