Poll: what type of cookware do you use?

I use a cast iron griddle for pancakes (and the best grilled cheese ever!

). It's just a small round one, just big enough to fit over the large burner on our stove. You can cook one big or two medium-sized pancakes on it at a time, which is just fine for us. It works wonderful! I don't have any suggestions for you for cooking pancakes in the skillet, though. Don't know why that's happening to you--good luck! Pancakes on the cast iron griddle are awfully yummy....

I don't see the difference between using a cast-iron skillet and a cast-iron griddle. I think that the reason I have problems has to do with the temperature. I always start off with a hot pan, so the batter sizzles, but I do need to turn it down and then they become mushy. My non-stick griddle is so regulated and easy to use that I continue to use it over and over even though I know it is not good for us.

When I said that my pancakes don't "come out" I meant they don't turn out, not that they are sticky, lol! I don't have any problems getting them out of the skillet. They just don't turn out as well as the ones on the non-stick griddle so I have kind of stopped trying with the skillet.
