Tips

Preheat your griddle properly for even cooking and to prevent sticking.
Use a good quality spatula set designed for flat-top griddles.
Don’t overcrowd the griddle; cook in batches if necessary.
Season your griddle regularly to maintain its non-stick surface.
Clean the griddle immediately after use while it’s still warm.
Experiment with different marinades and seasonings to customize flavors.
For smash burgers, use a high fat content (80/20) ground beef for the best flavor and texture.
Day-old rice is ideal for fried rice as it’s drier and won’t clump.
Slice vegetables thinly and uniformly for even cooking on fajitas and cheesesteaks.

Serving Suggestions

Serve smash burgers with a side of fries or a fresh salad.
Fajitas and tacos are best served with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings.
Fried rice makes a complete meal on its own or can be a side dish.
