Breakfast

• Griddles are well suited for use in preparing many popular breakfast dishes. First, start cooking bacon on your griddle by spreading it out across the medium-heated surface. Consolidate the meat in one corner of the griddle to make room for more food after the bacon has reduced in size and given up most of its grease. Doing this will season the griddle along with everything cooked on it and make it easier for you to remove food from the surface. Use the large flat surface of your griddle for wet batters like pancakes and French toast to cook without a mess. Buy a larger griddle to provide plenty of area to cook multiple items simultaneously for a complete breakfast feast. Crack some eggs right onto the surface of a nonstick griddle and place a small metal bowl over them when they have stopped spreading. This will trap the steam and heat and cook the egg from the top and bottom at the same time.
  
  

Lunch

• Griddles have the evenly heated large surface area needed to quickly make delicious toasted sandwiches for lunch. Apply an even layer of butter onto one side of a slice of your favorite bread. Place the bread, butter side down, on a medium-heat griddle and proceed to stack one to four thin slices of your favorite cheese, meat and vegetable options. Place another slice of buttered bread on top of this stack with the dry side down. Use a spatula to raise the bottom corner of the sandwich off the griddle and inspect its color. Wait until the bottom of the sandwich has reached a golden brown appearance before turning it to the other side.. Flip the sandwich over by carefully pressing it together then quickly turning the uncooked side down onto a new place on the griddle.
  
  

Dinner

• Cook your entire family's dinner all at once using your griddle. Start by scraping or wiping down the griddle and then evenly coating the entire surface with a thin layer of oil or grease. Put thicker cuts of meat and items that will take longer to cook on the griddle first to start right away. Use aluminum foil to build tents over big pieces of meat and large vegetables to hold in moisture and reduce cooking times. Chop up leftovers on the griddle with a spatula and add a small knob of butter as they cook for a crisp new spin on an old meal. Wipe a spot clean on your griddle to quickly sear both side of a pineapple slice. Sprinkle the fruit with a little brown sugar and serve it on top of a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a griddle dessert.
