Sirloin on griddle?
Can sirloin steaks be cooked on an electric griddle? Or is pan frying
them better? I dont have access to a grill, so that is why I ask. Thanks, Nickolas |

Depends on the griddle... on shipboard galley electric griddles I cooked tens of thousands of beef steaks, ham steaks, pork chops, burgers, etc., cooked up perfectly, and fast... by the time the last ones were laid down the first ones were done, could barely flip em quick enough.

I'd also score the side circumference lightly with a knife to keep steak "curl" to a minimum (for maximum griddle contact. Good luck, Andy |

Not your typical toys r us models but many certainly do get plenty hot enough... and you don't need to have a huge commercial griddle either, there are home style ones that work well... just gonna cost more than $29.99 at Walmarts. Most any restaurant supply emporium will have small sized griddles that get hotter than you need. Of course there are very inexpensive cast iron griddles that will work very well on a stove top, which is why I don't quite understand the OP's reference to pan frying... if he implies he has a pan then I can infer he has a stove.

The problem with *any* electrically powered cooking surface is the same, and it's serious -- you can *get* it as hot as you want, but you can't *keep* it hot, after you throw the food on it. The absolute maximum power you can get from a standard wall outlet is 1,500 watts, and any ordinary gas burner can deliver way more heat power than that. Isaac |
