Electric Griddle

[rt49andellis]

Does anyone have one of these? What do you use it for? I find them great for french toast & grilled cheese when I'm cooking for a family of 6. Makes it easier to get everyone's food done at the same time. Also great for pancakes.

ANd.... How do you clean yours? I'm assuming I can't dunk it in the water like I'd SO love to do!!! And it just doesn't seem like it's clean enough when I just use a soapy rag to wash it.... paper towel to rinse.... another paper towel to dry and make sure I got everything off.

I can dunk mine in water - as long as I don't submerge the pluggie thingie. I don't like just wiping with a rag or paper towel either!

Actually, we have a George Foreman combo grill/griddle (griddle is a little smaller than normal). I LOVE IT!! It makes the best pancakes and perfect grilled cheese! I make eggs on there also. Then on the other side I make my bacon or hamburgers.

That is actually the exact one that I have.

I dont have a choice but to just wipe this one. I am a total clean freak though, so that thing gets scrubbed as good as I can get it without submerging.

One of my students brought one in for a class party to make pancakes one year, lol!

I have never had one of these, it strikes me as something that would be handy if you live in the dorm at college or something (sort of like a hot pot). It would also be very handy if you make food for church brunches/pot lucks.

I have an electric griddle and I LOVE it. I've used it for so many things. Let's see...mini meat loaves, burgers, pancakes, sausage, bacon, eggs, french toast, grilled cheese, salmon patties, hot dogs, pork tenderloin, fajitas, grilled veggies, garlic toast, and on and on and on. It's way more versatile than it sounds.

I have the George Forman model also, half is a griddle half grill machine, it is non stick so it cleans up in an instante. I highly recommend this model for any clean freak I know, nothing seams to stick to it!!!

I've got a Presto one that I bought a few weeks ago. And I like it! And yes, I DID make some panacakes with it!! You're getting me hungry for some more pancakes again!!!! Haha!!

Just yesterday, I cooked some turkey bacon and some fried eggs with it!

To my recollection, ALL electric griddles come with a non-stick-coated surface and a removable heat control that allows you to dunk the unit into the sink for easy cleaning.

Just make sure the heat control is unplugged from the unit first, to avoid being dangerously electrocuted.
