Dash Mini Maker Griddle - Compact Griddle for Creative Homemade Treats - PTFE nonstick surface, Quick Heat-Up System & Space-Saving Design - Silver

I originally bought this Dash Mini Maker to make pancakes, but it has turned out to be much more versatile than I expected. I also use it to make tapiocas, and it works great for both. It's the perfect size when you're cooking for just one person and don't want to dirty a bunch of pans. It's also really cute, and the compact design doesn't take up much space. The nonstick surface works very well, so food slides right off and cleanup is quick and easy. It heats up fast, making it perfect for busy mornings or a quick snack.

I really love this mini grill! It heats up quickly and is perfect for making small portions like sandwiches, burgers, or snacks. The compact size makes it easy to store, and it doesn’t take up much counter space. It’s very simple to use and cleans up easily after cooking. The non-stick surface works well, and the results come out evenly cooked every time. It’s great for quick meals, dorm rooms, or small kitchens. I’m very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it.

So good! This little mini griddle works great! It heats evenly. It's space saving size and convenience allows for many things. It has non-stick cooking surface with makes food removal and cleaning very easy. There is an indicator light that let's you know when this griddle is ready and to start cooking. This cooks both sides at once. So, there's no messy flipping. This is great for making perfectly round eggs for waffle and egg sandwiches, perfect little pancakes. The plates on this particular griddle are not removable and the unit is not to be placed in water, but it's very easy to clean despite this. I'm so glad we got this griddle! This was the best price for this item compared to local stores and other websites at the time. So great price as well. If looking for a mini griddle, I do recommend this one. It's come in very handy!

Update: still find this a very useful griddle. Two tips 1. use small silicone tipped tongs to open and close the lid without risking being burned by the heat - see pic 2. put tinfoil and/or paper towel under it to capture splatter. The splatter is very fine but even with the lid down it was about 3 inches all around the griddle 3. gently press down on the lid with the tongs ( no need to press hard and if you do it may tip the griddle forward) to speed up cooking and further reduce the opening size that splatter can come from This griddle is tiny and cute but it's also useful and does a great job of grilling a small item I cooked a small beef tenderloin on it. I put olive oil on th steak along with salt pepper and fresh minced garlic Nothing sticked! The griddle gets very hot. See bubbles in the pics attached. I cooked one side, flipped it over then put the lid down and it "browned" it beautifully. If you just have a small steak/patty or single egg or anything else in a small size this is a great way to cook it without hauling out frying pans and firing up the stove. Clean up was easy. I just let it cool and wiped the plates with a damp paper towel I didn't give it 5 stars because there is no on/off switch. That I find very inconvenient. I would also like it if the cooking plates popped off and could go in the dishwasher but as I said clean up was easy despite the plates not being removeable. The price is great I did two videos ( had to do two as iphones don't have stop/start ability) of the steak cooking. If you search for dash mini griddle they should come up so you can see it in action. I find videos very helpful so hope these two are. Highly recommend if this fits your lifestyle and as one reviewer commented you could just skip it in your bag and take to the office or hotel room it's that tiny!

It’s very small, like a grapefruit almost. Easy to operate, just plug it in, no dials or buttons. It’s easy to clean, just wipe it down once it cools. It does get very hot on the top and sides during operation, so be careful using it. The first night I made a fried egg, I would have made more, but I only had one egg. It didn’t take long at all, and bam, a fried egg! Then I got crazy and made a tiny quesadilla with tortillas (I cut them to size) and shredded cheese and chicken. Very delicious, with toasty crispy tortillas and melted cheese. I think it will be fun to make single servings, but if you’re cooking for more than one or two people maybe get a big griddle or use a pan. It’s so freaking cute and tiny though, I love it. I’m going to try mini pizzas and mini grilled cheese, and maybe mini homemade tortillas :P Get yourself a soft heat resistant spatula or something for manipulating whatever you’re cooking. Like if you want to flip your egg or slide it off onto a plate. Update, tiny grilled cheese was a success Update times two, it didn’t do so well on the brown and serve turkey sausage patties, but it is amazing at eggs. If you whisk your egg first then and pour it in to cook it makes kind of an egg pancake, which works very well in breakfast sandwiches. Very easy to wipe clean.

This little device is good for small pancakes and other food as it is like 4 fingers wide all around,but works. It goes on for about 45 seconds then off for about same to cool. Then it goes back on again in same cycle to cook and warm things. Too bad their is no way to adjust temperature or cook time though Does get very hot around surfaces, so be careful not to touch Ok for $12

Ok, my first order of this little cooker arrived damaged right out of the box (two BB sized nicks in the top plate). I was sorely disappointed as I wanted to try it right away. I called Amazon and they sent me a replacement at no charge, and it arrived the next day! So kudos for Amazon being so responsive! The second cooker arrived in perfect condition. I tried it first making little "onion rings", putting a small amount of mozzarella on the bottom plate, then loaded up the onions, then added more mozzarella on top of onions. I DID have to flip it once to get the top cooked. The problem with this is, the cheese on top melts down to the bottom, and now the top is trying to cook just the exposed onion. But still they were tasty and crunchy. However, I do believe the Dash DOES cook from the top plate as well as the bottom plate, because the next day I put a golf ball sized ball of pork sausage in there, squeezed the top and bottom plates together, flattening the ball. The sausage DID get cooked on both top and bottom without me needing to flip it! One thing these Dash people need to do is put some kind of clip on this thing in order to secure the top and bottom plates close tightly to ensure the top of whatever, gets cooked without flipping. The ball of sausage flattened out but still a bit tall for the top plate to firmly stay down, but I had a small, flat, cast iron pan there on the stove, so I put that on the top of the Dash and the weight kept the top plate down against the sausage. This is why it cooked both sides without flipping, proving that the top plate DOES cook if whatever you have in there is touching it firmly enough. Cooking an egg? Sheesh, really easy and the top plate was just enough to get the white cooked while not over cooking the yolk, unless you want a hard yolk, then just let it cook longer. I thought the Dash was very easy to clean. I did have some grease from that sausage but it wasn't enough to dribble over the bottom plate. I dabbed the grease with a paper towel before picking up the Dash to clean more thoroughly. I just used a damp cloth – no soap. Dried it and before putting away (make sure it's cooled down), I slipped that little piece of paper that came between the plates in the packaging, back between the plates. All-in-all I love my little Dash and am going to use it often.

It's not as important for the waffle maker, but the griddle needs to have removable plates. If you use it to make fried eggs, it becomes increasingly harder to clean, particularly around the edges and at the point where the metal bends. You're not supposed to submerge it because of the interior wiring, so the instructions say to wipe it with a soft wet cloth, which is not very effective. You can buy a different version of the griddle with removable plates, but that one forces you to also buy multiple other plates, which defeats the point of having something so small for easy storage. It would be better if there was an option with only those two removable plates, so you can just take them off, wash them by hand and then put them back on. It also needs a better way to store the cable. The base has a little area to wrap the cable around, but if you wrap the cable all the way around it, the plug ends up underneath the griddle, keeping it from sitting straight. If you leave it unwrapped enough so that it will sit flat, you have several inches of cable still hanging loose. There's also no way to secure it when you wrap it, unless you opt for having the griddle sitting crooked on top of the plug, so the cable just comes unwound anyway. If you pick it up while cleaning the counters, the cable just falls completely loose. The small size is convenient if you have limited counter space and are living by yourself. It cooks fried eggs through in about a minute, and it doesn't take long to preheat. I've also used it to toast English muffins and bagels, albeit half at a time. It can be frustrating to deal with because of the cord and cleaning issues, though. You may want to invest in some hook and loop cable ties or keep the twisty ties handy for the cord. Also be prepared to not be able to clean it completely, unless you want to scrape the edges with a toothpick.

Excelente producto

جيد و لكنه يحتاج وقتا لصنع البان كيك

Ya tenía la que hace waffles y pensé en esta opción para hacer cosas súper rápidas como huevos o quesadillas. La he estado probando con más cosas como tortitas de papás o atún. Es buenísima. Se calienta súper pronto, no se pega nada. Es genial. Me gusta mucho y me ayuda bastante para agilizar el día a día y mantener la comida estética. La recomiendo.

Does not come with a UK plug ...... Pointless purchase

This is a handy little cooker! I made a fried egg to put on an English muffin first, very quick and easy. I'm not sure if this will hold two eggs, that might overflow it especially if they are large or extra large eggs. After that I tried a modified version of the potato pancake recipe that came in the recipe book provided. My recipe became: One medium russet potato, shredded. One small onion, diced. One egg. A spoonful of bread crumbs (I'm out of flour), salt, pepper, chili powder. Mixed it all up and cooked it on this. Worked great! Well browned on both sides, cooked in just a few minutes. The non-stick coating is non-stick - I only wipe it with oil when I clean it. I also confirmed it only uses 350 watts. So it would be possible to run this on a battery box (jackery or ecoflow for example), or even on a power inverter in a car or RV. It does get fairly hot though, so you'll probably want to run it on something that won't easily burn -- like a counter or tray.
