There are a few key differences between the two griddles. 1. Cooking surface: The electric griddle typically has a non-stick cooking surface, while the stovetop griddle can be made of a variety of materials such as cast iron, stainless steel, or aluminum. 2. Heat source: As the name suggests, the electric griddle is powered by electricity and has its own heating element, while the stovetop griddle is placed directly on a stovetop burner for heat. 3. Temperature control: The electric griddle often has adjustable temperature settings, allowing for more precise control over the cooking temperature. The stovetop griddle relies on the stovetop burner's temperature control. 4. Portability: The electric griddle is typically more portable and can be used anywhere with an electrical outlet, while the stovetop griddle is limited to use on a stovetop. 5. Size and capacity: Electric griddles are available in a variety of sizes, while stovetop griddles are usually limited to the size of the stovetop burner. Ultimately, the choice between the two griddles will depend on personal preference and cooking needs. The electric griddle may be more convenient and versatile, while the stovetop griddle may offer a more traditional cooking experience.
