Aldi's Popular $15 Kitchen Essential Is Made for Summer Cookouts
One of the best things about shopping at Aldi is the famed Aldi Finds aisle. Chock full of seasonal essentials, home decor, toys, electronics and beyond, sometimes a simple trip to re-up on groceries turns into the discovery of something you didn't know you needed.
But if there's one thing you should always keep an eye out for with every visit, it's Aldi's growing collection of cookware staples. And as luck would have it, this week is set to deliver a new iteration of a fan-favorite find: the Crofton Two Burner Griddle. Hitting shelves in two styles (grill and flat top), this $15 pickup is a versatile tool every home cook should have on hand, earning its stripes on the stovetop, in the oven or directly over a fire.
Crofton Two Burner Griddle, $14.99 at Aldi
Aldi's newest $15 Two Burner Griddle ditches a previous reversible design in favor of a sleek, single-use model, offering both grill and flat top versions to serve your unique cooking needs. Shoppers can expect to find the grill versions in green and gray colorways, along with a griddle style in a luxurious cream. The grill version features raised ridges across the cooking surface, making it perfect for searing meats and roasting vegetables, while the flat top is ideal for pancakes, eggs, toasted bread and more.
Each griddle features a long-lasting porcelain enamel interior and exterior that promotes even heat distribution and retention, along with integrated handles on either end for easy transport from stovetop to oven or kitchen to table. And although Aldi hasn't listed the griddle's specs yet, past iterations measured roughly 17 inches by 10 inches and are generally oven-safe up to 482°F.

Benefits of Two-Burner Griddles
Two-burner griddles are designed exclusively with convenience in mind. Featuring slightly raised edges and ample cooking space that covers two burners at once, having a griddle on hand lets you whip up multiple ingredients at once without juggling separate pans. In other words, two-burner griddles are extremely practical, with benefits that include:
- Versatility: Use it on the stovetop, pop it in the oven, or take it outside for use on the grill or directly over a campfire. You can also cook a wide variety of meals, from hearty breakfasts to sizzling dinners and everything in between.
- Beginner-friendly: Two-burner griddles are incredibly user-friendly, serving as a spacious cooking surface that simplifies the cooking process while still delivering consistent results.
- Easy to travel with: A valuable camping essential, two-burner griddles are compact, easy to pack with your gear and perfect for whipping up meals outdoors at a moment's notice.
If you're interested in either griddle style, keep your eyes peeled starting on Wednesday, May 13, so you can snag one before everyone else has the same idea. Crofton's usually includes a two-year warranty and an affordable $15 price tag, making it a solid kitchen upgrade or gift for a loved one.
