Stove Top Grill - gas versus electric stovetop

Wondering if these ever-popular stove top grills that are
being used a lot on tv cooking shows would work just as
well using electric stove. I think the gas flame would work
better. I have an electric (coil) stove so I wonder if I
should invest in a grill.

Perhaps you mean "griddle".... the type that span two
burners. They can destory the stovetop, especially those
with sealed burners.

Yes, griddle on one side and reverse side has grill grids
for grilling meats and veggies. Not sure how they would ruin
stove top. I think gas top stoves probably are the best
suited for this type of cooking.

Really none are better for them IMHO. The griddle spans two
burners and when it heats up, that heat is carried to a part
of the stovetop that's really not designed to withstand
those kinds of temperatures. A similar example -- ever take
an oversized soup pot and put it on a burner where it hung
out beyond the burner bay? See what happened to the
stovetop? In our case, the surface was virtually destroyed
-- the coating burned, flaked, chipped and melted. I'll not
make THAT mistake again.

The cooking shows on TV are typically using a professional
stove -- they don't really HAVE a stovetop, they're all
burner and burner grates. 🙂 Not 'xactly the same as what's
in most homes. <Grin>
