Range Prime vs Electrical Griddle

Most frequently we use an electrical griddle to cook dinner pancakes. Whereas sure, it’s one other kitchen gadget to have in your home, we use ours at the very least as soon as every week and love the pancakes it makes. Listed here are the advantages:

• Even cooking floor – This leads to uniform, fluffy pancakes each time.
• Nonstick – You don’t have so as to add further butter, oil or cooking spray to maintain pancakes from sticking to the floor as you’re employed.
• Bigger work floor – We will simply make 4 to 6 pancakes at a time versus two or three in our largest pan on the stovetop.
• Frees up range prime – We regularly cook dinner bacon on our stovetop (in a big skillet) on the identical time we make pancakes, so having the additional area makes it that a lot simpler.

Range prime works simply high quality too! I grew up with pancakes made this fashion, which is extra pan fried, so it holds some nostalgia for me. I like the crispy edge it produces from the melted butter and oil within the sizzling pan. The crispy edge paired alongside the fluffy inside is how I outlined pancakes rising up, so this technique will all the time get an A+ from me. 🙂
