Noun
[edit]griddle (plural griddles)
- A stone or metal flat plate or surface on which food is fried or baked.
- 1871, Louisa M[ay] Alcott, “chapter 5”, in Little Men: […], Boston, Mass.: Roberts Brothers, →OCLC:
- Such a clatter as the little spoon made, and such a beating as the batter got, it quite foamed, I assure you; and when Daisy poured some on to the griddle, it rose like magic into a puffy flapjack that made Demi's mouth water.
- 1894, Lance Rawson, “Australian enquiry book of household and general information”, in Cookery:
- Some people when making scones do not trouble to light the oven but use the frying pan: of course if you have a griddle it is better than oven or pan, but very few people possess this useful utensil.
