If you want to keep the griddle on the counter, ensure that the cord is long enough to reach your outlet.
Ridged griddles are great for cooking foods that you’d like to leave grill marks on and they drain away grease. For example, cook hamburgers or steaks on ridged griddles.
If you’re cleaning an electric griddle, do not submerge it in the water. Use a wash cloth or sponge to clean the griddle.
Most electric griddles don’t need you to season them before plugging them in and using them.
Some griddles can be divided so you can cook with a flat side and a ridged surface at the same time. This can be useful if you’re frying something with a lot of grease (such as bacon).
For example, once you’ve grilled burgers on the griddle, place a few buttered buns on the warm griddle. The buns will be toasted within a few minutes.
Take care not to overfill the tortillas with cheese or it may ooze out onto the griddle.
You should also avoid cutting food directly on the griddle. Instead, transfer the food to a cutting board.
It’s always best to wash your griddle by hand since dishwashing soap may damage the surface of your griddle. Some griddles can’t be washed in the dishwasher at all, so read the manufacturer’s instructions that came with your griddle.
If you want to leave the griddle out on the counter, ensure that you have plenty of space and it won’t be in the way.
You shouldn’t need to re-season the electric griddle since they’re usually coated in a non-stick surface.
