Griddle Cooking

[linkd]

  I stove top cook, charcoal/lump coal grill, smoke (BBQ) and now Griddle cook.
 Anything that I can do on the stove top is done easier on the griddle....and A LOT easier to clean up. 
  Started with a Stainless steel griddle.  That worked fine.  Then found a steel, not cast iron.  The steal griddle is wonderful.  Then found the 36" Griddle.

 You got electric or gas stove?

[Thinker]

I have always envied the griddle at the hash houses...  But, I cook Chinese food in addition to a few other things, and have a Wok burner on my gas stove...    It is the best and oldest one pot self cleaning appliance.

Stove top?  Meaning stove top, kitchen stove?  Or, outside stove top on a BBQ?

[Thinker]

I have a gas grill on my back porch connected to my main gas line.  It is a big Webber. I wonder if I could find a griddle topper that was that large.  has to have the edges though...   

Link, did you find a commercial one or have it made?

Stove top...meaning in the kitchen.  I actually have glass top.  I'd prefer gas, but...
The small griddle was made and is used on the outdoor gas grill.  That's the only thing I use the gas grill for.  The 36" Griddle is a Blackstone which is a single unit complete with propane. 
 I do full breakfast just about ever Saturday on those things. 
Full Breakfast.... ummmm
Eggs: over easy and omelets w/all the fixings. All ingredients can be saute'd on one side then added.
smoked pork chops or sausage or beacon or....
Toast on the griddle in real butter (I know, it's probably not toast if it's not in the toaster, huh)
Talapia seasoned lightly with Season All in a little butter...for the wifie :-)
Hash browns...
What was the question? 

Other meals
Fajtias, Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches, griddled shrimp( in butter) po-boys. to mention a few of my favorite things.

I didn't know there was such a thing, other than in a restraunt.  I must get out more.  How neat, perfect thing to have, if the weather gets so bad or no electric..

I loaned my neighbor my small iron griddle.  He went out got the 36" griddle the next week... 
It's a snap to clean up.  Scrap off, hit with a little Pam or veggie oil... walk away. 

I was in Baton Rouge for Gustav.  We keep right on cooking... everything in the freezer.

You can probably buy a griddle at Bed Bath & Beyond in Slidell.

And, linkd is cooking for us all when?

Got the small one from a hardware in Baton Rouge that catered to outdoor equipment.  I was told that a guy in Lake Charles made the iron griddles.
Got the 36" on Amazon... had a special deal w/free shipping.   Academy Sports carries the Blackstone in store.

Yes, that's the one. 

Almost too much heat.  I have a few oven thermometer that is put on the surface.  I bring the temp up to 200 F then cut back the two inside burners to low and the two outside burners off.  the inside burners surface area will rises to about 350F.  If I use the outsides for warming. Those surface areas stay around 200-250F.   Sometimes will crank up the heat to get a chard browning effect.. Like with pork chops. 

OK this morning did a few over easy, an omelet with sauteed onion, green pepper, & Creole tomato then added goat cheese. Did Talapia on butter,, lightly sprinkled with Season All, and smoked pork chops.  Yes, coffee & chicory and O.J and griddled buttered Ezekiel Bread. Man!  I don't get any better than that!  Yum yum!
