Cooking on Griddles

My typical cook is a 2# or 3# package of bacon, followed by smashburgers and sliced Conecuh sausage, and then a batch of fried rice with eggs, bacon, broccoli and asparagus (if I have it) mixed in. Have a batch of onions and jalapeños going on the other half. We'll eat on it for a couple of days.

It's usually about a six-pack cook, which is one of the best things about a griddle session. Still waiting for one of my kids to volunteer to clean the griddle for me.

I am just starting to get into using a griddle. Actually we've had one for years, it is a griddle top that came with our range. We've had it for 15 years and never used it. Since using a griddle has become the new rage I decided to give it a try, grandkids were staying over so I decided to cook breakfast on it. This one that came with the range just covers 2 burners and goes north-south. I'd prefer one that goes east-west. This one is also made from cast aluminum and it is non-stick. I guess that to make it easy for the wife to handle. It did a good job with breakfast. I was able to cook all the eggs at once, the bacon, and the sausage. It was really great for pancakes, but it is just to small and not configured the way I'd like. So, I got a large stove top griddle from Camp Chef. It will sit on my range just fine, and I can use it in the east/west direction. It covers 3 burners giving me more temperature control. It is also cast iron, so I can use some real stainless griddle tools! Now I am seeing what everyone is raving about! I love this thing! So much so that I bought the Members Mark 36 inch griddle from Sam's to go in my outdoor kitchen. So far I have no recipes I can call my own, but give me some time! I have an asian foreign exchange student in the family and she can cook! I'll be getting lessons from her this summer, then I'll share some recipes!

I am looking at buying the Cuisinart 360 Griddle.

i did a griddle jambalaya that was fantastic this week. just got my blackstone last week though so i'm not the source for recipes

I love griddle cooking, so much can be done on them. Breakfast being our favorite... I absolutely despised cleaning the Blackstone to where it was a chore, we stopped using it so much. Then I found that Pit Boss makes one that has a ceramic top, this thing is a game changer! All you have to do is wipe it down with a napkin and you're done. No scraping or oiling or rust. Highly recommend, we said the hell with the Blackstone and sold it.

Just bought a 36 Blackstone a few weeks and love it. I have cooked fried rice w veggies, smash burgers, and grilled fish on it a couple times. Haven't had a chance to cook breakfast on it yet but looking forward to it.

I used this chick's recipe for fried rice. Winged the smash burgers and grilled fish as they arent rocket science.

Google is your friend for BS recipes. There are a million.

Make up your favorite French toast dredge. Make the sandwich however you wish then roll it in the dredge and drop that bad boy on a buttered griddle.

So far every sunday I get a jug of Guidry's (the chopped onions and peppers etc...) and a few bags of simply potatoes. Some days I also get a pound or two of the cheap beef tips and sear them up real quick and put them in as well.



We've also made plenty of philly steak sandwiches, smashed cinnamon rolls, and more. Last week I made sausage and peppers in a lodge skillet on the stove, that's going to be a headliner on the griddle next week.





Also check out Costco Bulgogi, which is basicaly thinly sliced and marinated beef. Dump it on the griddle and put the finished product on french bread sections.

well it does do a good job w/ bacon

You can add grilled ham and cheese on Dave’s killer bread to the list. Came home for lunch and fired it up
