The Perfect Burger Patty: Flat Surface vs. Ribbed Surface Griddles

With International Burger Day being celebrated tomorrow, it’s the perfect time to elevate your burger game and serve up the best possible patties. Whether you're a professional chef or a home cook, the method you use to cook your burger patties plays a crucial role in the flavour, texture, and overall quality of the final product.

Two popular options for grilling burger patties are the flat surface griddle and the ribbed surface griddle, each offering distinct benefits that can take your burger to the next level. This National Burger Day, discover the differences between these griddle options and how Baron’s commercial griddles can help you create the perfect burger, every time.


Baron Griddles Ribbed or Smooth Surface

Flat vs. Ribbed Surface Griddles for Perfect Burgers

A flat surface griddle offers consistent, even heat, ensuring your burger patties cook evenly, retaining moisture and flavour. The smooth surface promotes better heat retention, preventing the outer layers from overcooking while waiting for the centre to reach the right temperature. It’s ideal for cooking multiple patties at once, making it perfect for high-volume kitchens.

On the other hand, a ribbed surface griddle creates those iconic charred grill marks and a crispy texture. The ridges drain fat and juices, enhancing the burger's aesthetic appeal and adding a rich, caramelised flavour. The reduced contact between the patty and the surface leads to faster cooking times, making it perfect for gourmet burgers or when you want that signature grilled look and taste.
