what is the difference betwen a skilit, a griddle and a grille? thanks preplexing question.

what's the difference between cold cuts and luncheon meat?

Asking for a friend who likes sandwiches.

there is no difference.

Poor folks eat welfare steak, middin' folks eat cold cuts, upper middle class folks eat luncheon meats.

A grill has a grill.

A griddle is a relatively large flat surface. A cafe flat top is a griddle, but there are smaller versions that can be used on a stove top. A grill has ridges to put marks on what is being cooked. There are grill pans, and obviously they come in charcoal or gas versions for outside cooking, but it really refers to the cooking surface.

A grill is an open heavy wire rack that air can move through.

A griddle is a long flat frying pan, usually electric, though some are built into commercial stove tops and some might fit two gas or electric stovetop burners.

Whew. I didn't know I could gaslight that well. I should get a job writing for Republicans

Any cooking surface with raised edges will retain heat (and steam) more than a flat one. The higher the edge, the greater the effect.
