Dash Mini Griddle VS Dash Mini Grill - Cooking Hamburgers
Let's cook a hamburger in a Dash Mini Griddle and a Dash Mini Grill and see how they come out. Let's check out the similarities and differences. Dash Mini Griddle on Amazon - amzn.to/2YHhM05 Dash Mini Grill on Amazon - amzn.to/3b4zv6x
These small appliances only use 350 watts and are great for cooking in small spaces. They are great for RV cooking, van cooking, car cooking, dorm cooking, hotel room cooking, office cooking, etc. They are small, portable, and light weight so they are easy to travel with. They are also excellent prepping gear. Since they only use 350 watts and cook very fast, they can be easily run off of a generator or solar power station.

Wow! Why didn't I ever think about using my Mini Dash grill to cook a burger?? I'm stuck on Chaffee and/or scrambled eggs. This is awesome!! Mine is red and I just love it! Thank you for this!! And, ignore the complainers...they just like to bellyache about everything. Very rude and "entitled" people.

I was in line at Marshall’s with the grill and saw this video and got out of line to get the griddle instead. Thank you for this!
This is a great help for those of us debating whether to get the griddle or the grill. Thank you for this very helpful comparison..

I got the same two , when I cook hamburgers on ether one . I put down a paper towel to set it on. That's the way I would eat it 🙂 Meats on the grill and pancakes and eggs on the dash griddle. Seems to be a good way to go 😊
The grill I only really use if I want the darker marks, or if I just need another surface. I agree w/ you and use my griddle WAY more! Great for mini quesadillas, korean scallion pancakes to dip in a soy sauce, toasted sesame oil & riuce wine vinegar sauce... yum!
Griddle is easier to clean, clear winner!
I'm just discovered your channel recently (2023) and only have the mini waffle maker. So, thank you so much for the comparison of the grill and griddle. I'll be purchasing the griddle really soon. Again, many thanks . . . I LOVE your channel❣️

It was really good to see the comparison. Thank you. I tend to use my little waffle maker more than either the grill or the griddle. The griddle though it’s fun to use with those popcanned rolls as it gets more of the center cooked all the way and then you split it for like a sandwich. The small street taco size tortillas are great in the griddle.

*I have one of these mini grills, which I bought about six months ago. It is as clean today as it was when I unboxed it, and I have never had to clean it one single time! And here's my secret!* *I use it solely for hamburgers, and before I start cooking on it, here is what I do: I take two squares of aluminum foil, one for the bottom and one for the top, and I put them on the grill!* *One at a time I press them down everywhere on the grill so they conform themselves to the shape of the grill, I spray each one with a quick shot of cooking spray and set them aside!* *I brown my hamburger buns, then I put the lower piece of aluminum foil on the bottom grill, I put on my hamburger patty, then I lay the upper aluminum foil on top and close the lid!* *I bend the lower piece of aluminum foil to form a trough so the grease drips into a tiny disposable container. I place something about 1 inch high underneath the rear feet of the grill.* *So the grill is tilted and the grease will run into the container. Then I cook the hamburger patty for 10 minutes exactly. When I am done cooking the burger, the grill is still perfectly clean!*

The Dash waffle maker cooks hamburgers more evenly for those that like their bugers without pink spots.
Definitely not overcook. When you cut it with a fork, my thought was wow that cut really easy and it’s so juicy. I’m gonna pull my grill out and make me some burgers. Thank you.
I was hoping you had done a video on this...thank you!! I really didn't want to buy the packet of 3 off Amazon unless I knew I would really use them. I really just want this to sauteed veggies, hot junk food and fish filet. Yes the grill marks are nice and all, but def feel like I will get more use out of the griddle.

This is related ..... I noticed a while back that my medium sized ( two burger ) George Forman Grill seemed to be especially made to make boneless pork chops ( slightly thick cut ) & did them perfectly , no drying out of the meat , nice , tender , & juicy ( that is if not overcooked , pork isn't as forgiving as ground beef ) ..... My question to you my dear , I wonder just how it ( a slightly thick boneless pork chop )would fare being cooked in a Dash Mini Grill which by design is somewhat similar to the George Forman Grill Concept ..... 🐷🐖🐖🥩🥩🥩😋😋 Thanks for your videos , I do enjoy them , even the fails 😅 Somebody has to be the test pilot & sometimes the crash dummy , it's all good , entertaining & even funny along with learning new ways of doing things ...Thanks for sharing your videos with us .....👍👍🖐🖐

The griddle has more versatility and is easier to clean. Grilling involves drippings that drop into the grill and vaporize/ smoke and add to the overall flavor. Grill marks do not equal grilled food. I'm not trying to gate keep, just trying to save you the hassle of bringing two different devices that yeild the same product.
