What can I do with a cast iron griddle except for pancakes?

[SEEING-TO-BELIEVE]

im not sure i wrote the word grittle the correct way..

my griddle is cast iron and round

 

[Andy M.]

Cook steaks and burgers, chicken cutlets, breasts and thighs, eggs, grilled cheese sandwiches, quesadillas, etc.

 

[Sir_Loin_of_Beef]

Go to a casual restaurant like Dennys, or to a diner, sit at the counter, and watch what their cooks make on the griddle.

 

[GotGarlic]

Griddle is correct.

You can also make tortillas, naan and other flatbreads.

cool
can i also make fairly thin pizza with it?

 

[dragnlaw]

I know there is a cast iron (CI, for short) recipe for pizza somewhere. Not sure if it is thin or not. There is also the bread buns that are amazing. Cooked in the oven in a cast iron pan.
This is compliments of member salt and pepper

	1/4 cup beer 5 tsp sugar 1 tsp sea salt 2 1/4 tsp yeast + 1 cup water 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 cups of flour let rise till doubled on a floured surface cut dough into 8 pcs roll into balls and place into a lightly greased CI pan. I used a chicken fryer. brush wth melted butter. let rise for 20 minutes and place in a preheated 375 degree oven nd bake till golden brown, about 20 minutes. remove from oven and brush with melted butted and a sprinkle of salt.

In addition to all the uses above, the one I have also makes a perfect cast iron lid for my cast iron frying pan. I can use them like a small dutch oven for braising and roasting.

You could swat flies with it. I bet it would be hell on flies.

Well, don't look at me like that, all of you! He asked what else he could do with it!

 

[rodentraiser]

I'll see myself out.

You could swat flies with it. I bet it would be hell on flies.

But then he would have to re-season it.

Makes a dandy blunt instrument if you're really, really angry with somebody.

I think a lot of people cook bacon on them but they need to have a little lip for that I think.

Steaks and burgers of course and blackened fish. I only make blackened snapper about once a year but I always use my iron.

 

[dragnlaw]

Seeing - just dawned on me, you were asking about a Griddle, not a fry pan. My mistake.

 

[Badjak]

Do you have a picture?
Is it ribbed or flat?

Gotta be flat as otherwise you cant make pancakes on it

Pizza is possible, but you won't brown the top, so you might want to finish under the grill or oven.

Otherwise, anything that is not too liquid. Flat bread, eggs, steak etc

For pizza, I have seen videos where they heat the griddle and put the crust, sauce, and toppings and then put it in the oven.

edit: no, I haven't seen it done with a CI griddle, only with a CI skillet. I think it would work even better with a round, flat bottomed griddle.

 

[JustinJames]

It seems like the correct spelling is "griddle." You've written it accurately. If your griddle is round and made of cast iron, that's a common and versatile type. Enjoy cooking on it!

I have silicone rings that I use on my griddle to contain eggs. But I've done them without the rings, just need to keep pushing the whites in til they firm up a bit.
I've also cut out holes in bread slices to cook them in.

My griddle is oblong. One side is ribbed and the other is flat with a lip.

All of the above uses, except for the violent ones of course. It would make a great alternative to a pizza stone in the oven.

Call my ex-wife. She'll give you a LOT of lip!
