Having a barbecue is nice. It is also a healthier choice, rather than frying your meats and fish in a cooking pans to cook the same food that can be prepared in them.
Griddles
A griddle is a cooking equipment that is technically a flat plate of metal used for cooking over low heat. Pancakes, oatcakes, crepes, grilled cheese, unleavened breads (roti or chapati), dosa, Irish boxy and Welsh cakes are a few goodies that can be cooked in a griddle. These goodies can also be prepared in a commercial electric griddle.
Grill Pans
The family size grill, that is if you have to cook the food at once to save time and energy.
Of course, you can have both a griddle and a grill if you buy a electric grill griddle that you can use.
