Eric Ripert flat top grill?
Was watching the first episode of a new cooking series on PBS today, Avec Eric with Chef Eric Ripert. He grilled a piece of salmon on what appeared to be a ceramic/glass flat top grill. Does anyone have one of those and what exactly was that? It was very cool whatever it was.

I saw no one had commented yet so I went looking; This article says he used a piece of slate when grilling black bass. Maybe the slate is what you're looking for?

It was actually a built in counter top grill of some sort. The surface appeared to be the same as the surface of the stove burners. When he was grilling the salmon the glow from the heat source under the dark surface was visible. What caught my eye was when he poured a little oil on the surface to prevent the salmon fron sticking I didn't see any edges that would prevent the oil from running over the edge on to the floor. Not sure if that was a ceramic or glass cooking surface, I haven't seen this anywhwere else yet-might be something new. It was very attractive. I'll have to try to catch a repeat of the episode or hope it's used in future episodes to get a closer look...thanks for the research!

I wonder if it's something like this ceramic griddle?
