This question could probably go on like 3 different categories. I chose here because more people visit the
permaculture forum.
Anyways I cooked for a few years in a few different kitchens. One of my favorite pieces of equipment to use was the flat top. You've seen them in roadside trucker diners. The large flat hot surface used for cooking
pancakes and whatever else. My question is:
Has anyone ever thought about, seen, used, built something like this?
I was thinking something like a
rocket stove with part of it being, for example, a 24" x 30" cooking surface. So food can be put directly on to the surface and cooked, just like a diner flat top.
Is there some natural stone that would be safe to cook on. Or has anyone put a metal plate built into the
rocket stove. The diner flat tops were usually some kind of metal. Then cleaned by pouring oil on it, and scrubbing with a special brick.
All ideas and thoughts are welcome.
