New Pancake Cooker

[Jon B.]

Every July 4th for the last 25 years,  we have a Champagne Breakfast and feed around 100 people.  I'm in charge of the pancakes.  

Can never seem to keep pace with my buddy who cooks the eggs (he was a short order cook in college).

 I was planning on adding another electric griddle to try and keep up..................until I saw this on sale at BJ's Wholesale Club, 

This summer I will be kicking his "cracking two eggs.......one handed"...... butt..................................

 I'll say you will be kicking your egg flipping buddy's butt.  Does he know you bought this or are you going to surprise him and just show up with it? 

[Jon B.]

He does NOT know!  Can't wait to see his expression when he sees it that morning.  He is always getting on me to hurry up with the pancakes too.

Plus he gets to store it in his garage when we are done cooking.

That is truly new..need to season it well. I've had one for a while and it is a great compliment to the KK. Your out door kitchen is really taking shape!

We seasoned and then fired up the new pancake cooker this weekend to test out the temperature regulation. Did a nice Sunday morning breakfast of bacon, fried potatoes and eggs.

Learned a lot.  Temp control was easy using the handheld infrared temperature gun.  Need lots of extra table space.  Make sure the cooker is level.  All the grease puddled up in the back of the grill and it was like deep frying the potatoes and bacon.......however the over-easy eggs were fantastic cooked in the bacon grease.   Need lots of paper towels and some spray cleaner. 

I have to say it was fun to cook on it.  Not used to cooking with so much grease/oil/butter vs. grilling......glad it is not for everyday cooking.  After cooking three food groups at once, pancakes should be a breeze!!!

Those Champagne Breakfast egg cookers will not know what hit them this year!!!!!!!

I just bet  it was a fun cook.  I thought it would be just that, outside cooking eggs, bacon and potatoes, it had to be fun. You will have to bring your level to the cookout.

Does the unit have a built-in adjustment method for level or do you have to shim it?

No adjustment on the legs or cooking top.  Shim under the wheels looks like the only way to level.

Only way to cook eggs! I keep a jar of bacon grease right by my stove, just like my Momma did! She didn't raise no fool - well, at least not in the kitchen!
