Poaching eggs in a cast iron griddle on an electric stove is a breeze. Preheat a skillet over medium heat and coat with butter or oil. Crack the eggs into the cast iron griddle and cook to your desired doneness, whether sunny-side up, lightly fried, or stir-fried. The even heat distribution of a cast iron griddle ensures your eggs cook evenly and develop a delicious golden crust.
Both skillets and frying pans feature flared sides, flat bottoms, shallow depths, and no lids. When you need to flip food, high sear, grill meat, or shallow fry, then the skillet or frying pan is an excellent vessel for the job.
