I use my induction hot plate outside in the summer with most any pot/pan. I
have considered an electric griddle, as my mom had one and used it a fair
bit...But my life style doesn't include large batches of pancakes or vast
quantities of bacon or breakfast sausages.

Those sausages and any bacon I cook I do in the oven. Don't think I've made
pancakes in over 25 yrs. I think I'm almost healthy as I rarely deep fry
and mostly bake any breaded or batter meats...

Also I think the high sides on the electric skillet would make it a pain to
flip things with a egg flipper.
