Great Griddle
I have a smokin' hot new helper in the kitchen. That's right, I bought a Presto Electric Griddle. I'd been wanting a griddle and ended up with a cheap one from Sears ($20 on sale).
Let me just say..... lives have been changed. How did I ever cook without a griddle??? I love it. I want to marry it.
Tonight I made chicken tacos with it. Well, first I made the kids cheese quesadillas on the griddle, knowing that my picky eaters won't touch tacos. See the beauty of this machine already? I cooked multiple meals with only ONE pan.
For the chicken tacos, I just cooked chicken seasoned with Adobo seasoning (in the Mexican section at Meijer). Then I used the griddle to also heat corn tortillas (double them up into stacks of two). It cooks so fast and evenly.
Here's the chicken on the griddle. I wish this were scratch n' sniff.
Throw on some cilantro, onion, and avocado and serve the tacos with lime wedges. And, voila!
Delicious!
I've also made pork on the griddle. I took boneless chops and cut them into strips so they'd cook faster. I used my favorite dry pork rub.
Pork Rub
1 TBSP salt
2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp paprika
1/2 TBSP lemon juice
1/2 tsp pepper
1 TBSP basil
2 TBSP olive oil
I've also used the griddle for eggs, bacon, french toast, grilled cheese, steak fajitas (steak/onions/peppers/tortillas all on the griddle!), and pancakes. And, it's been super easy to clean each time.
If you own a griddle, do you own a fancy one and you want to talk me into upgrading? Please comment! Or, do you have griddle recipes or can you tell me what else I can make with this?? Please comment away!!
