We've got a griddle!

So, we'd had the first meal cooked in the new cooker ... now it was time to try cooking something on the new cooker!  As well as five gas rings (including a double-ringed "wok burner") there is a Teflon-coated griddle plate, that sits atop two rings.  So, last night we decided to try griddling some asparagus first (which was then kept hot in the oven in a little melted butter), before throwing on a couple of really good quality rump steaks ... I used to love cooking steaks on the (incredibly hot) griddles in both our pubs, as they can be cooked exactly to people's liking and the end result is always superb!

Served with a creamy, cheesy potato bake, a few beer-battered onion rings (the best frozen onion rings available, IMO), the asparagus and some sauteed mushrooms ... this was a plateful of food where every single mouthful was just delicious!  I have a feeling the griddle plate will get used a LOT!

V  Marinated vegetable kebabs or a vegetarian burger would cook well on the griddle plate, and either one would be a nice substitute for the steak here, accompanied by as many of the other bits as you fancy!
