Uber Griddle, meet my friends. Here you see it full of sausage patties that eventually became Egg MomMuffins, but I use it for a great number of things. It will hold 9 pancakes at a time, and also 9 eggs, though not together. I can fry up to three pounds of bacon or chicken breast on it. Sometimes I fry bacon on it, scrape almost all the grease off, and then throw some scallops or shrimp on it for a few minutes. That’s tasty!

One of the great side benefits of using the griddle is that it makes short work of what would otherwise be a Herculean task. Making pancakes for nine people 2 or 3 at a time takes an hour. With this thing, I can do it in 15 minutes, just three griddles-full.

The other benefit is that it seems to keep the kitchen cooler. I know that seems incongruous, since it is an overall bigger heat source, but it’s true, none the less.

Well in a manner of speaking, this is my kitchen. At least, this is what my kitchen looked like the last time it was thoroughly and completely cleaned, which was back in, like, April. It’s pretty much been in constant use since then, and I just can’t seem to get both the counters cleared at the same time. We cook a lot of good food up in here, ya’ll. It’s a hard life.
