PAN TASTIC!

No griddle? No problem! You can griddle cook on cast-iron or heavy-duty stainless steel or nonstick frying pans—heavy duty is key for a steady, even heat. There are, however, advantages to owning a true griddle pan. Lodge 12-Inch Cast-Iron Square Griddle ($79.99 at The Bay) gives you that extra room to cook more at once and the low sides make flipping and turning easy. Working best on a gas stove, the All-Clad 20-Inch Grande Griddle ($180 at William Ashley) is great for all your griddling needs, especially big family breakfasts and fajita nights.
