Non-Stick Griddle

This is another essential kitchen tool. There are so many uses for a griddle – making pancakes and French toast, for example. When making a recipe like the Black Bean Cakes or Risotto Cakes using a light spray of olive oil will help them brown and crisp properly.

There was a time when only pans of lesser quality were made with non-stick coatings but now most of the better manufacturers make excellent quality non-stick products. That said, you don’t have to spend a lot of money on a griddle.  There are good products on the market for under $20.00.
