Electric Griddles in Electric Grills & Skillets

How should I clean an electric griddle?

To clean an electric griddle, use a plastic spatula to remove stuck-on bits while the griddle is still warm. When cool, remove the heating element and clean the griddle surface gently with a sponge and warm soapy water. Make sure to remove any remaining soap with the sponge.

What types of foods can I make on an electric griddle?

With an electric griddle, you can make breakfast foods like pancakes, French toast, bacon, and fried or scrambled eggs. Electric griddles also make delicious grilled cheese sandwiches and quesadillas.

Do I need to use oil with an electric griddle?

Most electric griddles have a non-stick surface, which may work well for grilled sandwiches, pancakes, or French toast. However, you may need to add a little oil to cook meats on an electric griddle. Choose an oil with a high smoke content like canola or avocado oil and wipe a thin layer onto the griddle with a paper towel while it is warming.
