    Griddle

    Hi

    I have one of those hotspot griddles but don't find it to be very good, so I am after a new one. Anybody got any recommendations as for some reason I can't seem to find a decent one on t'internet!

    I use a Tefal non-stick griddle that I picked up in France, seems to do the trick nicely!

    I read somewhere i think that cast iron ones are better than non stick? I could be wrong though!

    The cast iron ones are good, but they can be a pain to clean afterwards, especially if you are cooking at a high temperature.

    The Jamie Oliver Tefal one with the lid looks quite nice. Though I don't like the handles. It's nice and heavy though. Also from Debenhams.

    The missus and I have been buying pans recently. We haven't bought a griddle yet, but for the rest of the pans, we've been buying the Stellar range without the non-stick.

    Went for it, cheers med2003. I went for the racing green one as the blue was out of stock. Got myself an Amazon credit card which gave me £15 off, so paid £5.35 including delivery in the end!! Now just have to make one purchase with the card, then can cut it up and close it. Bargain!
