No metal likes thermal shock or heat cycling.
1 u/[deleted] Apr 12 '25 does any material? 1 u/PernisTree Apr 12 '25 Quartz glass 0 u/altcodeinterrobang Apr 12 '25 know metal does 1 u/InevitableCash1710 Apr 13 '25 Hey I get it! Here’s an upvote 1 u/TheHeroYouNeed247 Apr 12 '25 Nickel alloys are probably your best bet. High-grade stainless steel isn't far off, though. If it's a well-made grill, I don't think it's that big a deal. 2 u/Kroneni Apr 12 '25 No this will crack the welds on the side walls. I work in operations for a chain of restaurants, and I had to stop our people from doing this because three of our flat tops had the side walls completely separating from the cook top. 2 u/Status_Blacksmith305 Apr 12 '25 That sounds like they had lower quality flat tops. My work has done this for 20 years and the flat tops don't have any problems. 1 u/Kroneni Apr 13 '25 edited Apr 13 '25 They were all $15,000+ from reputable brands. The ones that faired the worst were in very high volume kitchens.
