Electric griddles can be completely open or double-sided. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, they are portable kitchen appliances designed for year-round enjoyment. The primary use, size of household and additional available features are a few things to consider.
Boasting a flat cooking surface, an electric griddle can serve up delicious meals at any time of the day. Pancakes, eggs and bacon are quick and easy for breakfast while sandwiches are a simple lunch option. When it comes to dinner choices, the selection is seemingly endless, from seared fish to fajitas and tasty sides.
Griddles come in a variety of shapes and sizes. A small personal griddle is suitable for singles and couples. The larger models have enough surface space to make dozens of burgers and hot dogs along with sides such as corn-on-the-cob and a vegetable medley. Many small kitchen appliances have an open flat surface which allows you to monitor the cooking process and add, flip and remove items with ease. Other models have a top and a bottom with a patterned surface. They close tightly and lock in place. This process produces restaurant-quality food cooked evenly on both sides. Additionally, a small griddle lets you make hot sandwiches, paninis and griddle waffles for use in a waffle bowl maker.
Indoor/outdoor BBQ grills are growing in popularity. Break them out at any point in the year with other wine, beer cooler and accessories. If you want to throw any kind of party, you have this reliable appliance at your disposal. Most use electricity while the larger flat models use propane. They can have flat or grated surfaces and allow for an even distribution of heat, creating food that is cooked throughout.
Made of cold-rolled steel, the outdoor griddles can weather the elements and provide fast cleanups while remaining cost-effective. Some home appliances have a fold-and-go style that for portability allowing for use at home, while camping and other locations. An indoor personal griddle designed for the home has non-stick surfaces for effortless cleaning. An LED indicator light alerts you when it is at the desired temperature level. A flat open griddle often comes with a removable pan underneath suitable for keeping foods warm and a trap that collects and holds grease for quick disposal. A single-sided griddle may have a free-standing style or be part of an existing range or grill.
Electric griddles are handy appliances that are easy to use. Accessories can boost your cooking experience beyond the average. A basting cover allows you to produce steam for melting cheese on burgers and steaks while round stainless steel molds are suited to cooking eggs. Long spatulas for flipping pancakes and burgers and tongs for adding extra ingredients are a few other accessories to consider.
