If I had to make that small an area work, I would rely heavily on countertop appliances.

Forget a built in burner, takes up too much room.
Get a gas or induction hot plate for use in the summer, and use the black oven in the winter.

Make outlets readily available on the counter. Best place would be the underside of any cabinets, or just the wall.

You can do a lot with one of those combo griddles. Cuisinart makes a cheap one, but you can get nicer ones from others. Breville is one, but I am sure there are others.

Build your knife storage into the counter, a la Alton Brown. Saves space, and makes them always available.

Don't skip the dishwasher. It'll take up valuable storage space, but working in a small kitchen like that will be much more bearable if you don't have to wash dishes by hand.

Make sure you get plenty of prep bowls, and have storage space for them. Mise en place will be very important with a small space, and they will help a lot.

A Magic Bullet type blender is really handy for cooking for 2, and for a lot of tasks that would otherwise take up more counterspace (chopping onions, beating eggs, chopping herbs, etc).

Make the whole countertop out of end grain butcher block (or side grain if you don't want to/can't spring for end grain) so that you don't have to deal with cutting boards at all.

If you don't already, try cooking sous vide. Takes little space, and good for summer cooking as it won't let too much heat into the space.

Have a hood vent for your black stove, and in the summer, put your hot plate there. The vent needs to be the type that goes outside, not the filtering one.
You don't want a small space like that filling with smoke from cooking.
Actually, depending on how you build the kitchen, you might be able to just put the vent in the middle of the room. Have the ceiling slope towards the center a bit.

Don't skip the garbage disposal in the sink - you'll regret it. Also, stick with a single sink instead of the traditional double. You're better off with one normal sized sink than two half sized sinks.

Skip the microwave, and just get a large toaster oven instead, one of the deep ones that can fit a 12" pizza. You can do most everything you can do in a microwave in the toaster over, it just takes a bit longer.

Skip the coffee maker, and get a hot water ketttle with a gooseneck spout like this. Learn to do pourover, get an Aeropress, or a Chemex. Saves you counterspace, and you can use the electric kettle for other cooking things too.

u/PopsicleJesus · 13 pointsr/Cooking

I use a Cuisinart GR-4N 5-in-1. Does everything you want it to, although it may be a little on the small side for big meals. I'll post a link below, sorry it's both canadian and mobile.

You (and OP) might benefit from a device that slowly warms up your food and keeps it warm all day. I like this Mini Crockpot Lunch Warmer for soups and stews ~$18-$24 (depending on color choice) and the Hot Logic Mini Portable Oven ~$40 ($30 during lightning sale or Prime day) for (frozen) raw or cooked chicken or fish, cooked beef, turkey meatballs, meatloaf, pasta and sauce, cooked rice, anything you want heated up without drying it out. Not great for crispy things like pizza, fried chicken or certain vegetables like broccoli that can't be slow cooked for hours without becoming pale and bitter. If you want to cook your food at lunch, the Dash Mini Griddle ~$10 can make grilled cheese sandwiches, quesadillas, toasted wraps, eggs, pancakes, and also has a grill version and waffle maker, all very small (cook one burger at a time).

u/krapht · 8 pointsr/electronics

What? If you want to save money, why not just buy an electric griddle? Consumer griddles may not get hot enough to reflow lead-free, so add a hair dryer on top. Easy and less than $50. (Still, just use leaded 63/37 solder. Nobody cares if your prototype circuits are ROHS). If you want to reflow double sided boards, buy a toaster oven.

http://smile.amazon.com/Black-Decker-GD2011B-Family-Griddle/dp/B00CI51RS4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1449530116&sr=8-3&keywords=griddle

You mention the T962, which some people complain about having poor heat distribution. Easiest way to fix that is to stick a piece of copper or aluminum plating on top to diffuse the heat more effectively on your $20 griddle. Or skip the griddle and just straight buy a 5 cm thick steel or aluminum plate, and put that on top of your kitchen stove. Or, preheat the board with the griddle, and reflow with the hair dryer. Use a thermometer so you know how hot your air stream is - don't want to melt the PCB.

Then, if you want higher process control, take the money you spent not building your own ceramic heater and buy a nice, multichannel thermocouple unit to monitor board temperature at different areas. Because even within the board temperatures will vary depending on metal density. But don't do that, you're not an assembly manufacturer, it's overkill.

Everybody else went straight to scam... but.....
I looked it up for reviews on amazon

Apparently it isnt horrible. And there are many versions out there that seem to work.

I don't know the quality of the brand you linked, but in general these types of grills seem to have decent reviews for what they are

I doubt its truly BIFL, but I've been eying the Cuisinart GR-4N 5-in-1 Griddler for quite some time now. just haven't been motivated enough to get it.

No there’s a really cool little personal griddle on Amazon.com - it’s only $15, works brilliantly and barely even needs to be cleaned!

u/RuhWalde · 5 pointsr/EatCheapAndHealthy

Don't know what your situation is, but I'd suggest you might also invest in an electric griddle (like this one).

Besides the obvious things like omelettes, pancakes, sausages, quesadillas, etc., you can also use it for just about anything you would put on a grill - burgers, shrimp, chicken breast, asparagus, other vegetables, etc.

u/barking-chicken · 4 pointsr/2XLite

I've recently stepped up my game in the kitchen so I want:

u/IonaLee · 4 pointsr/Cooking

Oooh. All good suggestions.

The metal basket on a stick thing you're talking about is called a "spider" and yes, it should go on the list. I'm adding it to mine. :)

I should have added a slow cooker to my list because I use mine a lot especially in the winter and when we have family over, but it might go under those "you might or might not need it items". As would the food processor, which I also use fairly often, but a lot of people wouldn't or could get away with a mini-prep machine.

I also left off a good roasting pan, a rolling pin, kitchen shears, and mixing bowls. Duh!! (Geeze, my list is crap!)

I go back and forth on a griddler/waffle iron, but if you do get one, get one with removable griddles or where you can reverse them. I have this Cuisinart one that has removable/reversable griddle plates, plus an extra set of "waffle iron" plates. I've used it, but probably not as often as I could. Still fun for brunches once in a while.

Brita pitcher or similar brand. Yes, a thousand times yes. I use it for coffee water, for tea, for cooking, and a dozen other things besides just drinking water. It helps keep the scale and hard water out of the coffee maker especially.

Vacuum sealer. Also another big yes (although under the "if you think you'll use it" column especially if you're in a small apartment with limited freezer space). But I love mine and use it all the time both for meat in bulk and freezing leftovers.

Good additoins and thoughts.

u/genius-bar · 4 pointsr/food

You could get a contact grill. I just bought this one:www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-GR-4N-5-in-1-Griddler/dp/B002YD99Y4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412521990&sr=8-1&keywords=contact+grill

u/BubbX · 4 pointsr/cookingforbeginners

Ive used this one a lot in the past. Not the cheapest version, but I still definitely recommend it.
I mostly just used it to grill sandwiches but it’s good for whatever. Here.

u/YourFairyGodmother · 3 pointsr/eatsandwiches

Panini press grills both sides at once. They need not be expensive - the top rated Cuisinart Griddler is only $70 at Amazon. There are cheaper options and much much much more pricey options.

Electric grills aren't just panini presses. I use my ~20 year old Bosch to make panini style sammiches, yes, but also burgers, veggies like grilled asparagus, shrimp, kebabs, sausages, most anything that can get grilled. Get one with reversible plates - ridges on one side, flat on the other and you've got a griddle as well. Good for pancakes, eggs, you name it.

u/ZombieChief · 3 pointsr/mealprep

One of the best things I've ever purchased: Cuisinart Griddler Elite

Sure, there are cheaper versions of these things, but it's worth it.

u/OutspokenPerson · 3 pointsr/Cooking

I have (or have had) an outrageous amount of cookware over the last 25 years (All Clad, Le Creuset, KitchenAid, Farberware, Cuisinart, Calphalon, Williams-Sonoma store brand, etc.).

I have a teenage about to move to her own place. We have THIS conversation all the time.

A set is a waste of money and space, and for under $200 it will not perform very well, or for very long. Good pots/pans go a very very long way toward compensating for poor stoves, and even for poor cooking technique/attentiveness.

I would buy a small number of items.

If my house burned down, the very first item I would buy is a Liddle Griddle ($25-ish on Amazon). It lives on my kitchen counter, and is an absolute workhorse.

Second would be a stainless pot big enough for soup. This one does not have to be rock-star quality if it will primarily have stock/water/liquid in it. (Could also be a 3.5 to 5 qt dutch oven, not one with shallow sides.)

Third would be the largest size of this Le Creuset brasier, even if it takes a year or more to save up for it. It lives on our cooktop and is used daily. Unless you are cooking for only one person, the biggest is the most functional as you can brown things w/o crowding the pan.

After that, a Le Creuset dutch oven, maybe 3.5 qt, depending on how many you cook for.

We also heavily use a small soup pot (1.5-ish qt), and a large hard-anodized non-stick (not teflon) pan.

If you live near an outlet mall, the Le Creuset outlet often has fantastic prices.

Last summer I had to work in a small apartment (serving as an office) with two people, neither of whom could cook for shit, and the primary occupant had NO cookware. That is what he bought and we used it to cook breakfast and lunch for 3 to 5 people 5 days a week and didn't feel a lack of any capabilities. The minimalist approach to pots/pans and tools also made transferring cooking skills/knowledge much easier (fewer decisions to make).

u/binderclips · 3 pointsr/keto

Something like this electric griddle or this grill & griddle will allow you to do quite a bit - fry eggs, bacon, make cream cheese pancakes. If you get the 3 in 1 version, you can also grill meat/veggies. I also find them easy to clean & store.

u/canadian_maplesyrup · 3 pointsr/AskWomen

They're not appliances, but I could not live with my stoneline pots and pans. They cook like cast iron, but are so much lighter, are completely non-stick (I can wipe off burnt cheese and caramel sauce with a damp paper towel).

I also love my slow cooker, I use it at least once a week if not more.

My cuisinart griddler, it's like a fancy George Forman, but the plates are removable and dishwasher safe. It also opens flat so I can use it griddle. I also have the waffle plates.

u/Liirin · 3 pointsr/EatCheapAndHealthy

This thing saved my life when I was a poor student with a neglectful landlord. That, plus my toaster oven and rice cooker, gave me so many options. I could make cookies in my toaster oven, grill a sausage, and make some rice at the same time! Also, if I really wanted to, I could use the griddler as a stove burner to boil water.

The panini inserts made sure I had quesadillas on the regular for a long, long time.

u/plasticlamp · 3 pointsr/HelpMeFind

Hm. Check this little guy out. Still not exactly what you're looking for (no flipping action) but maybe closer than my last post? There are several reviews saying it cooks eggs well.

u/ChefM53 · 2 pointsr/Cooking

you could cook with an electric stove with a wok. (won't be exactly the same) but... it will work. they even have electric woks, like electric skillets.

this seems to have a pretty good rating

https://www.amazon.com/Presto-5900-1500-Watt-Stainless-Steel-Electric/dp/B0017UTSLY/

We had one of these grills like this for years, because we too lived in apartment complexes that wouldn't allow a grill with an open flame or charcoal on the balconies. so We did Not ask... we just got one and grilled on it. it works pretty good. takes a little bit longer than gas or charcoal but still works well. But ours were not infrared like this one

https://www.amazon.com/Char-Broil-17602048-Infrared-Bistro-Electric/dp/B01IF1HHME/

now this one looks pretty good too

https://www.amazon.com/Giantex-Electric-Non-Stick-Temperature-Setting/dp/B079GTJT9F/

and let me recommend this to help clean up these are Wonderful!!

https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-Electric-Grill-Panini/dp/B004ZLAGLS/

​

If you find you have to go with a totally indoor type. the Cuisinart griddler five is GREAT! Watch for sales sometimes you can get them for 60 dollars. they are a grill, griddle, and you can get waffle plates for them. the plates go right into the dish washer and it is very easy to clean up.

https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-GR-5B-Electric-griddler/dp/B0778XLPB7/

If you go with this I suggest you get one of these to help cooking along a bit faster if you are using it for thick meats like steak or a thick chicken breast etc.

u/someomega · 2 pointsr/AdviceAnimals

Well you can't bake/broil with a grill. I do corned beef briskets, pizzas, baked meats, in my 4 slice toaster oven.

I do recommend getting a grill like the Foreman one as well. I went with a grill like this one. It has removable surfaces and can double as a griddle, grill, and waffle maker. Think I picked it up on sale at Lowes for under $50.

u/da1hobo · 2 pointsr/AskReddit

PCG-10 21 inch by 12 inch, nonstick, electric griddle. Preheats in 3 minutes and will cook 8 to 12 slices of bacon in ten minutes or less and is cleaned with a quick swipe of a paper towel and dumping the grease from the tray.

u/Saravi · 2 pointsr/Fitness

I absolutely can post a grocery list… because I need one or I forget things/buy too much/buy too little. I made this list awhile back to keep track of what (and how much of it) gets used in an average week.

Making a list is a very good habit to get into (IMO), especially if you’re buying a lot of perishable foods. Some items are sold in quantities that will easily carry over and last into the following week, so I adjust as needed.

A few things to keep in mind:

My focus is high volume (ultradistance) endurance training, not strength training, so my diet is heavy in the carbs department (oats, bread, pasta, potatoes).

I have myself, two kids (one teen w/adult appetite) and my husband to feed. I’ve struck out the few items that are strictly for my kids/husband. Half of the soup & bread plus some of the eggs is for them, too.

My kids are picky eaters and I don’t like making two meals (one for adults, one for kids). I can usually only get vegetables into them in the form of soup, chili and pasta sauce, so those get heavy rotation.

The list is not tight-budget-friendly and because I have the time for prepping everyting in advance, I do so. You can save a lot of time by buying frozen veggies or even pre-cooked frozen meat (chicken/beef strips), but it’s more expensive that way.

To give you an idea of where all of that food goes… mostly into me. My husband is content to have the same damned thing for breakfast every morning and he buys his lunch Mon-Fri. He is currently dieting to lose weight, so I have a somewhat different list now (and my kids hate me because I make them eat green things).

Breakfast: Some combination of oatmeal, cream of wheat, French toast or egg omelet w/bagel + yogurt + fruit (which I also snack on through the day or blend into smoothies).

Lunch: Sandwich (w/shredded chicken, lots of veggies, pressed cottage cheese or cheddar) + salad (topped with yogurt or cottage cheese, non-junky trail mix and berries/pomegranate). Alternatively soup + salad... sometimes all 3.

Dinner: 2x Chili (once with Tortilla chips topped with cheese, onion, green pepper; broiled to melt), 2x pasta (with salad on the side), 1-2x stir fry (sometimes vegetarian, usually with chicken) and rice, 1-2x chicken with baked, broiled or mashed potatoes + veggies.

How I make my chili (slow cooker):

Brown 2lbs lean ground beef, slice/dice 3 stalks celery, 1 green pepper, 1 white onion, add 2 tins Alymer’s tomatoes (do not drain water), 1 can red kidney beans (do not drain water), 2 tins mushrooms (fresh mushrooms fall apart; DO drain water), garlic, salt, pepper, 2 packages chili seasoning (Old El Paso/Clubhouse), stir. High to prepare in 4 hours, low to set and forget (8-10hrs). Takes about 20 min to prepare to cook. I store leftovers in the removable cooking pot.

How I make spaghetti sauce (slow cooker):

2lbs lean ground beef, 3 stalks celery, 2 tins Alymer’s tomatoes (drain about 3 quarters of the water), 1 sm can tomato paste, 2 tins canned pasta sauce, 1 diced green pepper, 1 diced onion, 4-5 lg fresh mushrooms, 5 cloves garlic, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, 1 tsp sugar, stir. Same cooking/storage instructions as above. Yeah… I have 2 slow cookers (one was a gift when we already had one).

Handy/helpful appliances: Kitchen grill with removable/reversible plates, rice cooker, BIG slow cooker.

Prep work:

Veggies:

This is the most time consuming prep (1-2hrs). It also requires a fair amount of tupperware. I make sure I have plenty of counter space, I wash my sinks/counter and rinse/wash everything thoroughly. I chop everything up to the appropriate size and use a lettuce spinner to dry off anything that doesn't last long when wet (mushrooms, lettuce, fruit). I add a fair amount of lemon juice (I transfer it to a spray bottle) to any sliced fruit to keep it from turning brown (also works on cucumber; added before spinning).

I store it all by meal/dish with lettuce kept separate to keep it dry. If lettuce is kept dry, it will last through the week. If it’s moist, three days, tops. You can mix most veggies together by meal with the exception of sliced tomatoes.

Same with fruit, which I usually sort by berries, grapes and "other" – other requiring lemon juice to keep.

I didn't include it under breakfast groceries, but I also tend to mix some finely chopped green pepper, green onion, tomato and mushrooms for omelets. I don't use the whole tomato, though. I just use the solid pieces, mixing the wet part with more green onion, chives and some olive oil to use as a topping on souvlaki (stored in its own small container).

Meat/poultry:

I rarely stray from chicken/turkey. I sort of suck at cooking anything else.

I tend not to cook most of it in advance these days as I have more time than I used to, but I was much more pressed for time a few years back. It can be a little dry after a few days in the fridge, so it's best to put any pre-cooked chicken into a dish that moistens it up. As a standalone, it takes less than 10 minutes to grill (because the kitchen grill cooks from the top and bottom) and a whole chicken can be put in a slow cooker if you feel for it or roasted if you've got the time.

I use the serrated plate of the kitchen grill or barbecue to cook it and keep it in two separate tupperware containers: One is for shredded chicken (sandwiches). The other is for strips/cubes (destined for stir fry or chicken caesar salad). It’s much easier to shred/slice when cold.

I've found this grill from Cuisinart holds up better than the George Foreman: http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-GR-4N-5-in-1-Griddler/dp/B002YD99Y4

I've really like using rubs for meat, this one is my favorite, though you could just as easily make up a mix yourself. http://www.amazon.com/Rub-Love-Roast-3-5-jar/dp/B007456L2K/ref=sr_1_16?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1405136500&sr=1-16

You might consider chia seeds for fiber, 1 ounce of chia seeds is about 11 grams of fiber. Soak for a bit in a glass of water, juice of a lemon or lime, some honey/maple syrup/sweetener of your choice and you have Chia Fresca, a super hydrating high fiber drink.

u/swizzleedoo · 2 pointsr/EatCheapAndHealthy

Never underestimate the dollar tree/dollar general or any other similar store. I exclusively get a couple household items from them like sponges and organizational items and never come out of the store spending more than $6-8 max. At the same time, some things aren’t a good value and you actually would get a better deal at a superstore like Walmart or something. You’ll get the hang of it.

I’m sure it’s been recommended but: a crock pot is sweet. If you’re picking one out for yourself, look for one that has a timer and latches on the side to seal it. These are features that make a huge difference.

Nothing is cheaper or healthier than eggs. I know it’s “extra”, but I recently bought this mini griddle and it. Is. Amazing. You get perfectly cooked eggs with none of the stress and it’s a breeze to clean. You can also throw single servings of protein in there and it’s perfect for making yourself a fresh dinner. It can also take sandwiches to a whole new level. The possibilities are endless for this little guy.

I personally try to meal prep 2 meals a day and cook for myself a fresh meal once.

u/C3LM3R · 2 pointsr/CasualConversation

Get yourself just a small little Electric Griddle

You wake up, plug it in, and by the time you pull out some eggs, bacon, and make some coffee it's good to go.

Then, just toss on the Bacon first. When you're ready to flip the bacon, crack the eggs on. Eggs over easy cook in about half the time as bacon. When everything is done, literally you just wipe it down with a papertowel for cleanup, leaving a very light layer of bacon grease on as oil for the next time you cook on it.

That's it. No pans or anything to worry about with cleanup. Just cook, wipe, turn off, and put away. Full bacon and Egg breakfast from start to finish in 10 minutes. EZ-PZ

u/high_brace · 2 pointsr/Cooking

Alternatively, electric tortilla makers are pretty cheap and really easy to use. This one cost about as much as a toaster.

I started making my own a few years ago and its almost embarrassing how easy these things are to use. Works for corn tortillas as well as wheat (for Indian food as well - a chapati is really just a whole wheat flout tortilla)

u/JohnnyBrillcream · 2 pointsr/slowcooking

Until that time this one will cook for up to 24 hours at desired temp and switch to warm for another 12.

Not that you'd want a recipe in for 36 but the 12 hour warming time is great.

Edit: Watch the pricing on this on. I've seen them as low as $49.99. I got a refurbished one off of Woot for $14.99. Lost the original in a divorced but came away with the Griddler!!

I had 3 other slow cookers that were mine so I kept those, I just really like this one for it's size and features.

u/TedTheViking · 2 pointsr/personalfinance

Get an electric griddle and hook it up to a generator, or to an outside outlet. You will be able to cook all kinds of things.

This is the griddle that I have. I've used it to cook burgers, steaks, veggies, eggs, pancakes, potatoes, stir fry, bacon, grilled cheese sandwiches, and much more. It's an amazing tool, and I honestly use it more than my stovetop.

If you buy enough for just one meal, you won't have to worry about refrigerating the leftovers.

If you get a big bag of non-perishable pancake mix (the kind that just needs water) you'll be set on breakfast for a long time.

u/andpassword · 2 pointsr/HomeImprovement

Ha. Apparently these days the Wiz-Grid is an X-ray template for BDU technicians to position a bomb disruptor charge. You could always try one of those to cook bacon in a flash, I suppose.

More seriously, is there a reason you couldn't just sand/grind off the teflon and let the surface be bare metal? I cook bacon on a bare stainless steel griddle all the time, and it cleans up without much trouble. Even a quick spray of Pam on the griddle would probably work. Nonstick cookware is highly overrated...bare metals with proper temperature control and oils work much better.

If you're looking for a modern replacement, try the Griddler.

u/binaryLoadLifter · 2 pointsr/led

Best of luck. If you want to get adventurous you can get an electric griddle like this and set it to around 250 and reflow the whole board and just pluck the LED off with a pair of tweezers. I will admit that is pretty hard to get the new LED soldered on well at that point though.

If I upgrade, I'll go for one of the combo grill/griddle/waffle makers. This one is the one I'd probably want: https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-GR-4N-Griddler-Silver-Black/dp/B002YD99Y4/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=combo+waffle+grill&qid=1569078971&sr=8-8

u/austincook63 · 2 pointsr/Cooking

Get the Cuisinart Griddler instead. It works much better than a GF for panini and does a pretty good job if you need to cook mass quantities of hot dogs, hamburgers, or grilled cheese sammichs for, say, a gang of rugrats if you're having friends over. If you open it all the way, it even does a good job as a griddle.

Also, crockpots are awesome.

u/NiniNinjas · 1 pointr/keto

Dash makes a mini griddle that would be perfect to make street taco shells. As for recipes that might take trial and error. I have the mini waffle maker and it works great for protein powder waffles/ breakfast sandwich buns. However, I've tried a thinner consistency batter in it and it didn't come out very well. The waffles may be too thick to make a proper taco otherwise.

With the largest surface area of all the griddles, this model could comfortably fit 11 pieces of bacon, eight pancakes, or eight pieces of French toast at once. A removable backsplash protected the walls and countertop from splattering grease, which neatly drips down to a pull-out tray. The nonstick surface was a breeze to clean.

  • West Bend Cool-Touch Nonstick Electric Griddle - DISCONTINUED

  • Cuisinart Griddler - $129

    > This innovative folding griddle can switch from indoor grill to griddle to panini press with the press of a button. Although its two-part griddle appears small, it holds nearly the same quantity of bacon and pancakes as larger models, though French toast was a little crowded. Removable griddle surfaces made cleaning a breeze. Our only gripe: The grease-catching system is a pair of lightweight plastic cups that simply sit beneath drain spouts at the corners of the griddle. Because they’re not attached, they seem likely to become lost or tip over.

Hey,

Is this the one you are talking about?

If so, I assume when you want a bun for a sandwich you make two of them, as these only seem to do one waffle.

You should get a griddle!

So you’d take the air fryer over the Cuisinart convection oven air fryer and the Cuisinart Griddler/panini machine? If so, then what air fryer do you recommended? I was looking at one of these 2:

Cuisinart GR-300WS Griddler, Elite, Stainless Steel https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ALDPXE4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_GsvoDb25PWM7E

This is the one I have. If it is a temporary thing some of the lower models also get pretty hot.

I use it daily for quesodillas sausages etc. Also makes great pancakes

I find that cooking thin chicken breast (sold by my local discount club in bulk bags) seems to taste awesome when cooked on an electric griddle (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002YD99Y4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_wdrwDbXK442X6).

Maybe a little soy sauce on the rice. I cook my rice with a little olive oil and salt and find that I don't need to add anything additional to it.

Maybe a little vegetable broth?

Here’s the panini/griddle — sorry I didn’t respond before, I was on mobile link

u/mesasone · 1 pointr/keto

I cook mine on an electric griddle. One of my best purchases in a while. I've found that I can heat the griddle to about 300-325, toss on a few strips of bacon (I usually go with 4 strips of bacon, and 3 eggs - makes it so a pound of bacon and a dozen eggs run out at the same time, easy shopping), and go take a shower. When I get out of the shower, I flip the bacon and move it to the sides of the cooking surface, push most (but not all) of the grease/drippings into the grease trap and then cook my eggs where the bacon was. Pretty easy way to fit in a hot breakfast in the mornings.

I use this griddle - about 20 bucks on Amazon and the perfect size for cooking for one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051XSIO6/

u/hrtl · 1 pointr/keto

I am in a similar situation and I own this which I highly recommend. It's more pricey but I literally use this everyday and it works perfectly. Very easy to clean and can fit a good amount of food on there. Plates are reversible (grill/griddle).

u/KryoKitten · 1 pointr/keto

If you can swing the cost, we cook keto for two on a Griddler and hardly ever use our oven or stovetop.

My friend used a Black & Decker Griddle, purchased at Target for $30.

If you put the heat setting on 150 (there is a "minimal" heat setting but it just cools off when chosen) and place an aluminum provac on it with oil slick on that. The surface of the oil slick hovers between 110-125

u/dokuhebi · 1 pointr/Cooking

Is this the same one that Amazon has for $65?

EDIT: I see. $100 gets you the waffle plates which others are saying are worth it.

u/pear22 · 1 pointr/Cooking

You mean this one? Looks great! (No I'm not a cuisinart seller)

u/machina99 · 1 pointr/TopSecretRecipes

I'd actually recommend this Cuisinart one if you're looking. It can open and lay flat or be used as a grill/press and the plates swap out for waffle irons and for easy cleaning. I got one as a gift and it works great!

u/weedysurfboard · 1 pointr/electricians

Buy two pressure cookers, a 4qt stainless-steel stovetop model like this one and then wait for a sale to buy a 6qt electric one like this one. The Instant Pot has sold for as little as $70 on sale. You could get a 6qt stainless stovetop model as backup for the 4qt and while you're waiting for a sale on the electric one, since it uses the same lid and gaskets as the 4qt.

4qt is usually a better size for individual meals for 1-2 people. The smaller size is faster to get up to pressure and release. There are pressure cookers as small as 1-2qts, but it's important not to overfill the pot, so 4qt is a better balance of usable cooking space.

Think of a pressure cooker as a slowcooker with an 8x fast forward mode. You get the same results or better without the slow part of waiting. Stews, chili, beans & meats all in about 45 minutes or less. Rice, vegetables, potatoes cook in 5-10 minutes.

I also recommend getting a convection rotisserie oven like this one or a Cuisinart CMW-200 that does the same thing with a combo convection + microwave. Buying whole chickens cheaply and doing your own rotisserie in less than an hour is very practical for eating part of the chicken freshly roasted for one meal and using the rest for leftovers. Save the bones in the freezer to use in a pressure cooker to make chicken stock, stew and pot pies.

The Cuisinart Griddler has been on sale for under $40 during the Amazon Prime day sale. It's great for grilling and griddling. You can buy waffle plates separately for it, which I bought too. It's nice to be able to brown and crisp sandwiches and other finger foods. The removable plates are dishwasher safe. Waffles are getting damned expensive in restaurants for what should be very cheap. Waffles are good for breakfast, dinner and dessert. Tater tot waffles are a really good savory side.

I realize that this is quite a list of equipment, but they all serve very different purposes without much overlap. Each one is very versatile for its own roles. They also allow a variety of cooking methods that won't easily get boring in the long term. They all cook quickly.

That should cover just about anything along these lines.

The waffle plates are available but optional.

Its hard to get a spatula under a fried egg because it keeps sliding. Highly highly recommend

Is this the one you got? I've had it in my wish list for about a year now.

u/6degreestoBillMurray · 1 pointr/food

Not, OP, but this is my favorite pancake recipe and I use it all the time:

1 1/2 c flour

3 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp white sugar

1 1/4 c milk or buttermilk

1 egg

3 tbsp butter (soft)


Sift together dry stuff, whisk in the wet stuff, and throw that shit on a hot pan until it's brown. You can add a tiny bit of baking soda for extra fluffiness, some lemon juice, almond or vanilla extract for flavor, blueberries, etc. Go nuts, it's a pretty elastic recipe.

Some tips--You'll know when your pancakes are ready to flip when the edges start to look dry and when the bubbles pop they don't fill in immediately. That way you don't have to keep checking the underside to see if they're ready. If you plan on making them a lot, invest in an electric table top griddle because they make the most uniform, smooth pancakes on Earth. I've had mine for ten years, and it's great for making pancakes, eggs, french toast, and all kinds of other stuff.
