Most people think that you can only cook on a flat top grill if it’s made of cast iron. However, you can actually cook on any type of flat top grill, including those made of stainless steel or aluminum. The key is to make sure that the surface is smooth and even. If there are any ridges or bumps on the surface, your food will not cook evenly.
Cutting on a flat top grill is perfectly safe, as long as you use a cutting board. Never cut directly on the grill surface, as this could damage the material. A cutting board will protect your knives and make cleanup much easier. Just be sure to wash the cutting board thoroughly after each use.
