Etymology

The word 'griddle' has its origin in the Middle English 'gredil', which in turn comes from the Old French 'gridil'. The concept of cooking on a flat metal surface has been around for centuries, with griddles being used for various culinary purposes. Over time, griddles have evolved to include different materials and designs, but the essence of cooking on a smooth, flat surface remains the same.
