After 26 arduous years, my brother is finally leaving the house to live by himself.
I offered to buy him a few things, and since he loves his steak I figured a griddle would be a good place to start.
I don't want to break the bank but I'll be eating there occasionally so I want him to have at least one good pan
So I ask you chefs of PH, what griddle do you recommend.

Can't beat le creuset for cast iron cookware in my experience.

£48.75 (RRP £65) for the 26cm grill looks a good buy.

Perfect Hoping to spend around £50 so it looks ideal. I'll have a look around in a few shops first (I've seen some of their pots in TK Maxx funnily enough) to see if I can see it. http://www.hartsofstur.com/acatalog/Volcanic_Le_Cr...

I use a standard chefs non stick frying pan for mine.They cook a steak great and anything else you want to fry.You can put them in the oven aswell.Got mine from Makro,they are around £5 each,bargin.
He'll be buying his own set of pans so he can get those, besides, I like mine done on the griddle Edited by mart 63 on Monday 22 February 11:42
The trouble with cheap frying pans is they don't retain heat or distribute heat particularly well. The cast iron pans take a bit of heating to get them to temperature (that 26cm one is the same as I have and it's heavy!) but once you've got them to temp, you can put as much in it as you want and it won't cool the pan, therefore you actually get true frying/grilling as opposed to boiling.
Where things like this are concerned, it's worth paying the extra because provided he takes reasonable care of it, it should last a lifetime.

Hopefully, I'll never need to buy another.

I agree. However I opted for the Le Creuset 32.5x22cm rectangular grill since this also doubles up as an excellent oven tray for chips, scampi, chicken Kievs etc... anything where you want you want the maximum of crispy coating. http://www.hartsofstur.com/acatalog/Volcanic_Le_Cr...
