Why we love this deal

Have you ever wondered why breakfast, burgers, and hot dogs taste better when you eat them at your local diner than at home? The magic isn't in the quality of ingredients, secret recipes, or even the prowess of fry cooks seasoned by years of experience. It has more to do with the cooking medium, which, in many cases, is a big, wide, versatile, and powerful flat-top griddle. Some people might consider a flat-top griddle the one secret cooktop diners don't want you to know about. The beauty of griddles is that you don't need a special license to buy one to use at home, or anywhere, really.

The KingChii 19-Inch Propane Flat-Top Griddle is a fry cook's dream and retails for $251, but you can shop it at Walmart for only $100 for a limited time. Shoppers love it, with one shopper saying, "This appliance prepares delicious meals quickly and enhances the flavor of my food." Anyone who's ever had the privilege of cooking on such a device knows this bold claim is not an exaggeration.

Why do shoppers love it?

There's something about flat-top griddles that makes everything from burgers to pancakes just plain taste better. Not only are propane-powered flat-top griddles perfect for making big messes of food for large families, camping trips, or friendly backyard gatherings, but unlike other outdoor cookers, they're easy to use and maintain.

The 19-inch cooktop provides plenty of breathing room for whatever's on the menu. Its 285 square inches of cooking space is enough to accommodate 14 burgers or 10 pancakes, or even more if you're making sliders or silver dollars, respectively. Because it's powered by propane, it can deliver up to 19,800 BTUs of heat, which is enough to get char on hot dogs and brats or even sear off a few steaks.

Its convenient folding shelves provide plenty of space for both ingredients and cooked food. Clever cooks will have more than enough room for a full-service breakfast station. Once cooking is done, the rear grease trap makes cleanup a breeze, and it's no more difficult to maintain than a cast-iron pan. Cooking on it is such a delight that many shoppers find themselves using it multiple times a week, especially during hot summer months.
