Reversible Grills: The Top 5

A reversible grill is becoming a must have in most homes today. They have more work space, as far as cooking, and get meals done faster for the busier family. There are so many different reversible grills on the market today how do you choose which one will fit your family's needs? Here is a break down of 5 reversible grills on the market today:

Nordic Ware Pro Cast 2 Burner Reversible Grill

The Nordic Ware Pro Cast 2 Burner Reversible Grill is one of the best on the market today. You can use it on either a gas or electric stove. The amount of food you can cook on this reversible grill is amazing. You can fry hamburgers and hot dogs at the same time. There is a grilling ribbed surface on one side that makes it great for searing chicken or steak and the other is sleek for pancakes, eggs or whatever else you are hungry for. In each corner of the pan there is an indentation for the grease to run off and make your food healthier. The grill has a non stick surface so clean up is a breeze. The Nordic Ware Pro Cast 2 Burner Reversible Grill runs for $32.22 at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005NCX2 ).

Typhoon Large Reversible Cast-Iron Grill Plate

The Typhoon Large Reversible Cast-Iron Grill Plate is a must for anyone with a large family. You can use this reversible grill, not only at home, but camping as well. The cast iron needs to be seasoned before using but will last a lifetime. It is a little heavier than most of the reversible grills on the market today but don't let that stop you from purchasing this one. The grill area is large enough to cook steaks and hamburgers at the same time. The ridged side of the grill is great to keep meats out of the grease and makes it a healthier meal for your family. The reverse side is sleek and great for making eggs and pancakes. Clean up isn't as easy with this grill as the other non stick one's on the market. It is not dishwasher safe, so this one is washed the good old way, with elbow grease and hot dish soap. The price at Amazon for Typhoon Large Reversible Cast-Iron Grill Plate is a mere $29.99. It is well worth every penny.

Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 9-Inch-by-18-3/4-Inch Giant Reversible Grill/Griddle

If you are in the market for the top of the line reversible grill the Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 9-Inch-by-18-3/4-Inch Giant Reversible Grill/Griddle may be for you. Amazon has this masterpiece for sale at a whopping $149.99 (http://www.amazon.com/Creuset-Enameled-Cast-Iron-9-Inch-Reversible/dp/B00004SBI9/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1218077009&sr=1-7 ).

The enamel on the cast iron is supposed to hold the heat in and evenly distribute it throughout the pan. The grill is huge and can make several pieces of chicken, hamburgers or steaks at one time. It is easy clean up and is dishwasher safe. This reversible grill is a bit heavier because of the cast iron construction to it. I would also not take this one camping as it would probably not stand up to camp fire cooking very well. It is great for home use on top of 2 burners and cooks large amounts of food very quickly.

Betty Crocker Double Sided Non Stick Griddle

The Betty Crocker Double Sided Non Stick Griddle is one of those things that you get what you pay for. The price at Amazon is $18.22 and is worth just that (http://www.amazon.com/Betty-Crocker-Double-Sided-Griddle/dp/B0012NWRBY/ref=pd_sbs_k_16 ).

You can not grill anything on this one that would leak much grease, so hamburgers are out. You can, however, make an abundance of eggs and pancakes on the flat side of this grill. I do suggest spraying it well with cooking spray before use as things do stick to it. The clean up is quick, easy and painless. So if you are in the market for a reversible grill for eggs or maybe even a grilled cheese, this is the one for you. If you are looking for a whole meal type reversible grill I would keep looking.

Cuisinart GG-2 Grill & Griddle

The Cuisinart GG-2 Grill & Griddle is an electric reversible grill. With this grill there is no using all the burners on your stove, you just plug it in and go. It cooks large amounts of food at one time, just like the stove top versions do. The clean up is quick and painless as the plates just life off and are non stick. The only downside to the grill is the portability of it. Since it is electric and quite large, it is harder to find places to store it. If you have the room for it this is one of the better one's on the market today. Amazon has the Cuisinart GG-2 Grill & Griddle listed at $99.95 (http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-GG-2-Grill-Griddle/dp/B0001XASWG/ref=pd_sbs_k_6) and is a great investment for anyone in the market for a reversible grill.
