(Part 3) Best griddles according to redditors

My Grandmother taught us to make lefse and it's something that we all get together and make around Christmas time. We have a special griddle and turning stick that we use. Its a fun family activity around the holidays.

These look perfect. 10/10. I also bought this for making smashed burgers. It also works great for big breakfasts etc. I like to smash them wicked thin. Then I make like a quadruple cheeseburger.

What are the merits over using something like this

We registered at Amazon for the selection and convenience. We could find just about anything on amazon, and could add anything else through the universal registry feature. Guests shipped most gifts to our home, which was great since we live across the country from where we were married. I'd heard the return policy was rough, but luckily we didn't have any duplicate purchases. Amazon's registry was perfect for our needs.

Some of the most-used items we received:

• VonShef mixing bowls.
  
  
• Narrow measuring spoons. These fit inside containers and are so much less messy.
  
  
• Glass tupperware set.
  
  
• Adjustable temperature water kettle. Our household is really into coffee and tea, and this has made all the difference.
  
  
• Coffee grinder. Our total splurge of a grinder that was generously gifted by another coffee nerd.
  
  
• Griddle pan. Perfect for grilled cheese, pancakes, etc.
  
  
• The Harry Potter box set. We put this on there to break up the typical household list and were so excited for a nice hardcover set!
  
  
• Cast iron dutch oven/skillet combo.

There's a variation called a comal bola. It's basically the inverse of what you see in OP's picture.

It's commonly used to make tacos de suedero.

Fear not my friend for I have your answer!
A griddle is what your egg loving heart yearns for!
These mighty beasts cover not one but two cooking eyes at one time to double your cooking capacity. Deeper ones can be found for even more egg cookery but even the standard seemingly shallow one can hold an emense amount of eggs due to its sheer size. Most can cook upwards of 6 pancakes at a time, or one jumbo rectangular pancake (which we are forced to admit is back to simply being a cake).
Steer your heart not toward the cast iron varieties for they are fickle and heat unevenly, and are rubbish for eggs.
As a final note, if bulk egg preparation is your game then batch boiling may bring you some fame.

I've got something similar to this:

http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Reversible-Double-Burner-Griddle/dp/B003DW5EDA/ref=pd_sim_sbs_k_3

Works in a Weber Kettle, the oven, and of course using it with one or two burners on, on top of the stove.

Great for pretending you are a short order cook.

It's basically just a griddle. You can get something like this to convert your whole stove-top into on big griddle if you want to get your abuelita on.

You need to find cookware that says PTFE-free (Teflon is the brand name, PTFE is the technical name for the chemical). When I got my birds, I replaced all of my Teflon cookware and bakeware with ceramic, and it works great, food doesn't stick to it at all and it's easy to cook/bake with.

Here's the griddle I have:

Bialetti Aeternum Red 7198 Square Griddle, 10-inch

And I have two different sizes of this line of pans:

Bialetti® Silver Titanium Nonstick Fry Pan

(Edit: I just realized that the Bed Bath and Beyond site that I linked above doesn't state anywhere that these Bialetti frying pans are PTFE-free, but if you go into the store, the product packaging definitely says PTFE-free on it.)

And here's the loaf pan I have. I also have several other pieces of bakeware, all from this same casaWare line of ceramic pieces.

casaWare Loaf Pan 9 x 5-Inch Ceramic Coated Non-Stick (Silver Granite)

Hope this helps!

I got an oblong Dutch oven. I can't make super long baguettes but shorter ones are no problem.
Alternatively, you can put a metal baking pan on the bottom rack of the oven and pour in a cup of hot water when you put your bread in. You can also use a squirt bottle and mist in some water every 5 mins or so for the first part of baking.

FREEDOM!

I live in Tennessee, home of good ol' American country music. Tennessee is also home of Lodge cast iron skillets. I feel like this Lodge LGSK3 Guitar Mini Skillet for $15 is very, very American and also extremely Tennessean!

Be safe. Have fun. Let freedom ring so loud!

Where the f@ck are you buying a new flat top for under $3000? Especially one that appears to be about 60"?

The main supply house locally sells a 36" top for $2500.

Treat your sh!t with some respect, and it canb easily last 10 years+. Especially older stuff. Sh!t was built to last. Just don't look at how inefficient it is on the gas/hydro bill.

Edit:spelling/clarity

I would get a case for each of your items.

For your Dutch oven, Camp Chef makes a nice padded one, or these cases from Sawtooth are nice with the plastic disk embedded in the case bottom to keep the Dutch oven feet from poking through the bottom after too much use. They have been out of stock on the 10" bags since April 2018 though. There is another case maker that is supposed to be similar to Sawtooth, but I have not tried them, and I don't see a 10" case from them either.

For your skillets, I like the CampMaid skillet bag. I think medium would be the right size for either your skillet or round griddle.

I don't know if there is a correct case for your specific size rectangular griddle, but Camp Chef does have a couple possibilities. They've got a 17.5" x 16.75" x .5" multipurpose carry bag, and a 17.5" x 21.5" (not sure how thick) medium griddle bag.

A cast iron skillet or griddle is similar depends on what you want exactly. Most street stands and restaurants will use thick cast aluminum or iron griddles. People at home buy smaller thinner plates, then there's the good old adobe(clay-mud) comal grandma's use. If you head into a part of town or city where there's a dominant Hispanic population check the bodegas or stores. Or check this on Amazon. It's aluminum and light so you can heat it up fast and it's nonstick so good for making your own torillas or simply reheating them. There are some variations just look around.

Imusa Round Comal Griddle, 11-Inch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00164VNT6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_yH9.ybYV6FGHK

Usually we just use the comal to heat tortillas and use skillets and pans to cook the meats separate since all the fats and oils will be allover the place.

If you open this one up and flip the irons, it's a griddle...and a damned good one. It takes up very little space and, as you see, doubles as a panini press.https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-Griddler-Gourmet-Functions-Unit/dp/B0049URLT0

I assume you're talking about something like this.

My move from San Francisco to Portland. I really enjoy the slower pace, lower stress level, and cost of living here. I am a better person because of it.

from le creuset. I paid about 100 for mine at one of their factory outlet stores. For taking care, almost nothing. I ignore all the cast-iron-tards. I wash it -- with soap -- after every outing, and only occasionally oil it up afterwards. I just use some cooking spray and it works great. Then again, I don't try cooking eggs or anything.
