What is a "griddle"?
A griddle is a cooking surface, typically made of metal, that is flat, smooth, and designed for cooking foods directly on top of it. Griddles can be used on a stovetop, on a grill, or as a standalone appliance. They come in various sizes and shapes, including round, rectangular, or square, and may have raised edges to contain liquids or grease. Griddles are commonly used for cooking breakfast foods such as pancakes, eggs, bacon, and sausages, but they can also be used for cooking sandwiches, burgers, vegetables, and even certain types of seafood. They are valued for their large cooking surface, even heat distribution, and versatility.
