I put together and seasoned my new griddle yesterday.
Tonight for dinner, I made smash burgers (grilled buns, onions and bacon) and smashed potatoes. I'm going to have to get creative with the smaller griddle to keep food warm in MN winters - maybe utilizing a warmed cooler?. I can see why it would be handy to have a bigger griddle space with a rack to keep food warm. 🙃
I think I could have smashed the burgers a little thinner, and I could have crisped the potatoes more, but the family enjoyed my first attempt. ☺️

We're going to make steaks later this week. 😋

Thank you Amazing Ribs for my new toy!

Congratulations to all the winners so far. I'm so envious every month. Constantly checking my email and spam box in case I missed it. But I enjoy getting the emails and the site. So worth the minimal annual subscription!

[snowswamp]

Am I amiss or sadly, did another winner miss their chance and we’re on to drawing three? I can only imagine the frustration and disappointment when they do, if ever, come across that email.

[Panhead John]

No news yet, supposed to be announced yesterday I think.

[Carolyn]

Unfortunately, it wasn't claimed for a second time.

Griddle cook #3 (hubs made steaks last Wed😋) with my new win!
I made Chicken Alfredo. I learned from last time. I had a bowl with hot water standing by inside to keep my chicken warm.
My outside cooking station is off my basement walk out, so I have to be strategic and DEFINITELY have my mise en place in place! Tonight, I had my water par boiled for the noodles, sauce started (just had to turn on the burner and add the cream and cheese). Toaster oven downstairs warmed the bread while I griddled.

I even got the griddle clean quick before I brought the chicken upstairs to finish everything. Learning!

The sauce was a new recipe and was a little meh..I added the juice from the chicken and it punched the flavor without discoloring it too much.

Loving my new toy! Thanks for the win and the love!

[Carolyn]

I like your cooking space and your woods in the background. 👍

Boy, we just can't give away that Grand Prize this month! Let's try again!

How about our latest Grand Prize Winner, some unheard of member around these parts, LA Pork Butt!

My friend, you have 5 days to claim your prize, until 11:59 p.m. on Friday November 28, or else we'll pick someone else....but I have a strange feeling it won't take nearly that long.
