Dash DMG8100AQ 8” Express Electric Round Griddle, Aqua & Mini Maker Electric Round Griddle - Aqua

This little cooker is surprisingly useful. It fries eggs in 2 minutes and makes grilled cheese just as fast.I've done chicken breasts, hot dogs, bratwurst, hamburgers, and salmon and have enjoyed all.Two things to be wary of, hot steam venting and hot surfaces, the fact that the Dash has no on/off switch. It turns on when you plug it in and off when you unplug it.It takes a while to cool down too. It might have heating elements in both the base and lid as I don't have to flip what I'm cooking. It's much faster than going to fast food restaurants, and the nonstick surfaces wipe clean with a paper towel.Does take up much counter space, and stores easily.All things considered, this is one of my best purchases.I would highly recommend.

I am glad that I chose the Red 8" Dash Griddle, even tho it's still small, it's doable. I love the cheery Red color, which goes with my Red Keurig, & my Red Electric Kettle.All you have to do is plug it in, there is no on/off switch. When the blue light goes out, it's ready to use. This 8" Griddle gets very hot, so exercise care, when using it.The 8" Griddle comes with an instruction booklet, with recipes. They say that you should spray the non-stick surface, with non-stick spray, but I haven't done that, because I have read that you shouldn't spray non-stick cookware with non-stick spray, that it ruins the surface.So far, I've only used this 8" Griddle to make grilled cheese, & quesadillas. I've had no problem with anything sticking. You do need to flip whatever you are making, to cook both sides. It does cook quickly.Make sure that you unplug the Griddle, when you are done using it. Let it cool down, before cleaning it.I just take a wet paper towel, and wipe it down, which it's very easy to clean. Then I take a dry paper towel, to make sure that it's dry, so it won't rust. You cannot wash this Griddle in the sink, because it's electric. The cord is not detachable.It doesn't take up a lot of counter space, & you can stand it up.

Works like a dream, easy to clean, easy to make a cheesy snack or warm up the many flat bread items Trader Joe sells like the Indian flat bread or the scallion pancake. Our gas bill has gone down since we started using this handy kitchen tool to make dinner.

I've had this for a little over a year. I always struggled with crepes and pancakes on the stove, and this worked great for that. It's also great for omelettes. When using for those things, it is easy enough to clean and wipe out.This helped me work out recipes for flat breads, but it would be a bit better at this if it had controls. If it had controls, it would cost 20-30 dollars more. The only company that made a smaller grill with controls was Bear, but you can't get the small one anymore.So this is "meat the heat" cooking. Whatever the setting is, that is how you cook. I keep track of times to try to replicate cooking.With meats, vegetables, and other foods, yes, you can sautee foods. It would be better with equal heat elements and a lid that could open flat, but again, we are talking about much more money. This is simple, easy, and if you are a dough-in-can kind of person, you can do some creative and fast cooking with this including pizzas, pancake, and more interesting, non-American things.Unless it's crepes, you still have to flip it. I consider the lid something that helps from grease splattering, but know this will generate oil all around it. So it is better to use if you have lots of counter space, despite it's small profile. Grease leaks through the sides and makes a mess on the counter, even if you could use light oil.Do you have to use oil? Not inititally, but the non-stick does wear. I bought this at the end of Jan. 23, and the non-stick surface is now worn and everything is sticking to it. I am deciding whether to replace it. Most non-stick pans last at least a couple years. And no, I didn't use spray cans in it or harsh tools (just silicone). It just wore very badly.I have some little ones too that I use for small sandwiches and burgers. I don't use them as frequently, so didn't get the some amount of wear. I have used this almost daily.If they put better non-stick on this, heat controls, and true dual-sided heating, I'd be willing to pay 80 or so dollars because this is the perfect size for a single person. I love it. But I don't love the lack of longevity of the coating.Also, I find this absurdly hard to clean after sauting food or meat. I think it shines when used for pourable batter and eggs. Probably I will buy another and restrict my use to breads. Cooking meats and other foods seemed to be much harder on the finish. It's worth 20 dollars, well worth it. But I don't feel good about throwing another pan in the trash... Stainless steel might be a nice option, with removable plates. Does anyone do that? Non-stick always seems to fail to live up to its name... But not everything can be cooked in cast iron...I love Dash products. I hope they improve their coating and keep going with these round grill designs.

La uso para calentar tortillas, de maíz o harina, semi tostar pan blanco, hacer huevos y hot cakes. Es rápida para calentar, bien usada no se pega nada y es fácil de limpiar. Tiene buen tamaño.

No mucha gente la usa, pero para nosotros es la mejor plancha que existe, quesadillas, sandwich, calentar tortillas a la hora de la comida... todo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heats quickly. Heats hot. Cleans easy. Small enough to leave out but easy to stash away. Looks nice in red. I use it for omelets, fried rice, noodle beef stirfry, home fries, sautéed onions, tofu cutlets, grilled cheese, reheating frozen waffles, etc. The 8-inch size is suitable for cooking one or two servings but no more. It really shines for pizza. It makes the best pizza from homemade dough that I have ever achieved. Better than done in the oven with a baking stone. Comes out perfect in ten minutes with the texture of an New York City style slice and with the top cooked just right. I am very happy with this purchase. Better than anticipated. Well worth it just for the pizza. I am eating too much pizza now.

hubiera comprado antes. el mejor electrodoméstico que uno puede tener en su hogar.util, versatil, práctico y eficiente.

Using this pancake maker is easy, clean, and always makes perfect pancakes. It's easy to clean, and doesn't leave a mess on your stove. Great buy!
