A Few Of My Favorite Electric Griddle Cookbooks

 

You went out and bought an electric griddle, now you need to find some recipes that will take advantage of this great kitchen appliance! While the griddle is excellent for pancakes, eggs and grilled cheese sandwiched, there are so many more wonderful foods that can be prepared on your griddle. An electric griddle offers a few features that make cooking much easier. It is compact, you can store it in a cabinet until you are ready to use it. The large, flat cooking surface will hold a lot of food and the lack of high edges makes it very easy to flip foods or move them around. Last, clean up is a breeze. When you cook on a stove top you end up having to scrub out the pans that you are using as well as clean the stove top surface. Sometimes food falls into the pans under the element of gas ring and you have to clean those as well. With your electric griddle you just have to wipe off the cooking surface, empty the drip pan and toss that into your dishwasher. Done, nothing could be easier or quicker.

3 Excellent Griddle Cookbooks

1. Cooking With The Blackstone

While this cookbook is half recipes and half a sales pitch for the Blackstone brand outdoor griddle, it does have some excellent griddle recipes that you will want to try. Not only are there some very good sandwich and breakfast recipes, there are some excellent entree and dessert recipes that you will love.   One nice feature of this cookbook are the welcome tips and suggestions offered throughout the book. These tips will give you ideas on how to use your griddle and what foods work best. One drawback to this cookbook is that half of it is devoted to singing the praises of the Blackstone Outdoor Griddle. Over all, this is a good value and would make a nice addition to your cookbook collection.

2. 125 Best Indoor Grill Recipes

Technically this is a grill cookbook but I like it a lot for finding great griddle recipes. The recipes featured here will include different types of cuisine and some popular dishes within that cuisine. I really like that some of the recipes create panini sandwiches without the need of a panini maker.   There are actually more than 125 recipes in this book. Some are created to be made on a grill but you can use your electric griddle easily. I had never used my electric griddle for dessert recipes, so the dessert recipes were a fun discovery. The recipes are very well written and have nice illustrations. This is now one of my favorite cookbooks.

3. Cooking With The Cuisinart Griddler

I have three Cuisinart appliances in my kitchen and I love them. They are so well made that I am sure I will be able to pass them on to my children when I quit cooking. In typical Cuisinart form you not only have recipes, you have charts and guides to help you figure out weight, volume and calories of the ingredients that you will be using. The Cuisinart Griddler is part electric griddle, part grill and part sandwich press, so the recipes will often reflect the different aspects of this particular machine. However, you can use your electric griddle for any of these recipes with little trouble. This is an excellent cookbook and highly recommended. 

These are just three of the many excellent griddle cookbooks available. Your electric griddle is a wonderful tool to have in your kitchen, you just need some great recipes to take advantage of your electric griddle.
