Is an iron healthier than a grill? I
love both the iron and the grill. Saying one is better than the other really depends on what food you’re cooking.
The griddle can be seen as the healthiest option as it requires less grease or oil, while a grill has smoke entering your food. However, either option is healthy as long as you’re careful about how much oil you’re using and how you cook your meat over an open fire.
