Hi Everyone.
We are starting to plan a kitchen remodel and this gives me the chance to fix a problem that has been bugging me for years.
I have an 11" round cast iron griddle. One of its chief uses is making omelets. The problem is that it is really difficult to get the whole surface to a uniform temperature and keep it there. Impossible, really. It is bigger that the largest burner on our electric stove so the center is always much hotter than the rim.
We will be switching to a gas cook top and so I am hoping to find one with a large diameter burner which can cook at a low temperature. I've seen a super high BTU burner with a large fire ring, but I don't want high heat. I want low, even heat spread around the edge of the griddle.
I have also seen heat spreaders, but I have no idea how well they work or if they will be tippy and make the eggs run to one side of the pan.
I am pretty old, but have had only a few occasions to cook on gas cook tops, so any suggestions anyone can offer will be very welcome.
Thanks!
