31Days to #ASimplerJoy: I Flipped for This!

31 Days to #ASimplerJoy

It is one of the few items I purchased this year in person, and not online: I love my griddle!  It looks like I said girdle…and maybe I need one of those too.  But no — I said griddle.  An Oster DuraCeramic Griddle, to be precise.

Oster Griddle

I LOVE this appliance!  We really like to have breakfast for dinner and I almost always make buttermilk pancakes (recipe coming soon!).  But for the longest time I had two skillets going at the same time to get dinner on the table quickly.  I always make a big batch of pancakes (about 15 big ones), so waiting for one pancake at a time makes me plumb crazy, y’all!

I decided I needed a griddle so I could make two at a time more easily.  Well, bonus!  I can fit three at a time on this griddle!  Pardon my photography…that fell off my to do list so long ago, it’s not even funny <sigh>.

Recently, I used it to make two quesadillas at a time, and that worked like a charm — except — no photos.  I am definitely a work in progress.

This griddle was not an impulse purchase.  What does that say about me…that I need to mention that?  It was actually a birthday present!  I read about griddles and compared griddles and shopped for griddles, until I settled on this one.  And here’s why:

  • It is BIG (see above comments).
  • It has a non-stick surface, but is NOT coated with teflon.  So no flaking, no requirement to cook on medium, no unwanted chemicals in the food.
  • It has its own heat source, so it is portable and it won’t scratch my glass cooktop (like a stovetop griddle).
  • It does not require “seasoning” like a cast iron griddle; it is ready to go immediately.
  • It was only about $30 at my local Walmart.

I really appreciate modern conveniences.  And I like to get the cooking done and get down to eating; that’s why my griddle is #ASimplerJoy for me.  Sometimes it really IS the little things, people.

Do you eat breakfast for dinner at your house?  Pancakes?  Do you cook on a griddle?  Or wear a girdle?  😛 Just kidding…

      Thanks Martica! I wonder if they have regular pans for scrambled eggs and such?

        Yes they do!! I found one very modestly priced at HomeGoods in Peoria which always has the best clearance items.
