Question from Adica

Hi Debra,

I was wondering if you know of any safe electric griddles. I’ve been wanting one because cooking pancakes on the stovetop in a pan is just frustrating for me. However, many of them have nonstick finishes on them, which worries me. I want a nonstick one, but I want a safe one. If you don’t know of any brands, do you know the sorts of things I should look for? Like types of materials used in the nonstick finish? Or would you just suggest I get a well-made stovetop griddle made of cast iron or some other material?

Thanks!

Adica

Debra’s Answer

Just get a well-made stovetop griddle. Cast iron is fine. I have one I like made from soapstone, but I don’t think they are available anymore. I also have one made from cast iron that fits over two burners, with a flat griddle on one side and a grill on the other. I really like it.
