random cooking equipment
This flattop grill sounds cool, albeit a fancy term (and corresponding price) for a griddle. It’s especially appealing for making breads and what-not, but also things like okonomiyaki I thought.
On the other hand, couldn’t I just get a heavy metal slab like this for obvjously a lot less…and I certainly wouldn’t use this to replace a real grill as suggested by the wikipedia link above…
Also, I would like a dutch oven some day. The end.
Edit: this griddle looks far more appealing than the craigslist link above.

I don’t know if you’ve ever cooked on cast iron before, but it tends to be enormously heavy. I mean it weighs a lot, and so it’s less convenient to use and to wash than you might think. Unfortunately, that Bayou griddle link doesn’t seem to say how much it weighs.

Yikes! Amazon lists the shipping weight of this thing as 11 pounds.
