How to Heat a Cast Iron Griddle on an Electric Stove
A cast iron griddle allows you to cook pancakes, eggs, burgers and some flat breads on the stovetop to perfection. Provided the griddle is already seasoned, only a thin layer of oil is needed to cook almost any food without sticking. Heating a cast iron griddle on an electric stove is a simple task that takes only minutes. By properly heating the griddle, foods are easy to cook.
Things You'll Need
- Cast iron griddle
- Cooking oil
- Paper towels
Instructions
-
Coat the surface of the cast iron griddle with a thin coat of cooking oil. Use paper towels or a pastry brush to apply the oil to the surface.
-
Set the griddle on the stove burner. If your griddle is a double burner model, set it evenly over the back and front stove burners.
-
Turn the stove burner on to medium. If you are using a two-burner model and one burner is smaller than the other, turn the smaller burner to medium high heat.
-
Allow the griddle to heat up. This may take 2 to 4 minutes.
-
Wet your fingers, and drop several drops of water onto the heated griddle. If the water sizzles, the griddle is ready to use.
