Griddles & Grills: Which is Best for a Camping Trip?
One thing with living the motorhome lifestyle is that you enjoy much freedom as you get to taste new dishes, explore new grounds, and experience exciting cultural lifestyles. Still, this does not mean you cannot cook your meals. Once in a while, regular motorhome travellers will have the urge to enjoy a homemade recipe.
Moreover, cooking is an excellent way to bond while camping and exploring with your family and friends during your free time. Being that your home or shelter is a motorhome (RV), you have a choice to either cook indoors or outdoors. This topic is a constant source of debate among campers and motorhome owners.
The topic happens to be “Cooking with griddles is better than cooking with grills, or vice versa.”
Here, this article will highlight the pros and cons of each option to help you make a better choice. So, please read to the end of the article if you wish to learn more.
Griddles vs Grills: How They Standout from Each Other
The truth is that the better option for cooking when living the outdoor lifestyle depends solely on the camper’s preference. They are both unique and spontaneous options for cooking while camping or holidaying around the country in your motorhome, and these are some of the reasons:
- Heat: This is a crucial point because, as a camper, the heat will determine when your meal will be ready when using a cooking option. The grill has the edge over the griddle considering the heat produced because grills produce more heat. The presence of raised grates to create distance between the flames and the prepared meal. However, grills also produce enough heat to cook your meal at the right time.
- Flexibility: In terms of design, griddles provide a more flexible cooking surface because you have enough space to cook multiple meals simultaneously (killing two beds with one stone). Griddles can also be used in the same fashion as grills because some griddle designs feature a removable flat top that can be changed for grates anytime.
- Food taste: Grills will have the highest rating if asked to rate the taste of the same meals prepared using a griddle and a grill. Cooking a meal with a griddle gives it a typical taste, but the taste is different with a grill. This is because a grill adds a friendly char smoked flavor to your meal that cannot be misplaced, mainly when used to prepare bacon or burger.
- Cleaning: It depends on what the motorhome holidaymaker or camper prefers. Generally speaking, griddles take less time to clean compared to grills. The grates in a grill demand that you take your time to get into every hinge and joint when cleaning. Some campers can enjoy cleaning grills, but griddles will be the ideal option for campers who prefer a quick clean after cooking.
Conclusion
The camper’s preference is a primary factor determining which option to use in cooking, making it impossible to say which is better. However, if you are looking to explore your cooking options but do not know which to choose between griddles and grills, this article has highlighted their differences. We have also discussed some of their pros and cons to aid your decision. Good luck!
