For the first 4 and 1/2 years of our marriage apartment living has had many advantages for us Tucson Reinholds and not very many disadvantages. S9 is the third apartment we have lived in here in Arizona and it will be the first home of our little son when he makes his arrival. The many advantages include being able to just call maintenance when there is a problem, a limited space that forces us to keep our "stuff" limited, and less overall square footage to keep clean! A sad disadvantage that we have come across at every apartment, however, is the inability (it's against the rules!) to have a grill to put out on the porch. Grilling hamburgers, steaks, and chicken in a pan on the stove simply does not generate the same taste or overall appeal as having meat right off of the grill. Alas, for 4 and 1/2 years we have tolerated our pan hamburgers and have discussed the day when we live in a place that will allow us to have a grill. (I have a secret stash of grilling recipes that I drool over when I am picking out our weekly menu.)
Our sad tale of no grill recently took a turn when Eric's wonderful siblings bought us a 5-in-1 Cuisinart Griddler that we had seen at a friend's house and put on our Amazon list. This blog chronicles the first use of our new grill and our first taste of grilled hamburgers from our own kitchen since we have been married!
Step 1: Make hamburger patties
Step 2: Place patties in the grill where they get cooked on both the top AND the bottom!
Step 4: Add your favorite toppings. Mine was topped with cheddar, sprouts, avocado and mayo. Eric's, as you can see, had a few more toppings!
Step 5: Indulge in a delicious hamburger!
Stay tuned for our next endeavor which will be making pancakes on the griddle surface. No more making pancakes in a round frying pan!
