5 Griddle Cooking Mistakes You’re Probably Making 288 Comments

Griddle cooking is one of the most satisfying ways to prepare meals — from breakfast classics to dinner masterpieces. But here’s the truth: griddles are tricky. Uneven heat, guessing temperatures, inconsistent results — these challenges can take the joy out of cooking. That’s why the TP420 Infrared Thermometer is a game-changer for every griddle enthusiast.

Uneven Surface Heat

One of the biggest challenges with griddle cooking is uneven heating. Different spots can vary by tens of degrees, leading to unevenly cooked food. The TP420 2-in-1 Instant Read Thermometer solves this with its infrared sensor, allowing you to quickly scan different areas of your griddle. With a fast, accurate reading, you know exactly where to place your food for perfect results every time.

Guessing the Temperature

Guesswork is the enemy of great griddle cooking. Without knowing the exact temperature, you risk undercooking or burning food. The TP420 makes guessing obsolete by providing precise surface temperature measurements in under a second. Its dual-function design means you don’t need separate tools — it’s an infrared thermometer and a probe thermometer in one device.

Overcooking or Undercooking Food

Even if your griddle is at the perfect temperature, improper timing can ruin a dish. That’s where the probe sensor of the TP420 shines. You can check the internal temperature of steaks, burgers, pancakes, or even fried eggs to guarantee the perfect level of doneness every time.

Inconsistent Cooking Results

Cooking on a griddle without the right tools often leads to inconsistency — one pancake thicker than another, bacon unevenly crisped, or vegetables cooked unevenly. By giving instant readings for both surface and internal temperatures, the TP420 ensures your cooking stays consistent, meal after meal.

Safety Risks with High Heat

Working on a hot griddle means working with high temperatures that can easily cause burns or overcooked food. The TP420 helps keep cooking safe and controlled. Its quick, contact-free infrared scanning keeps your hands away from high heat, while the waterproof foldable probe provides accurate internal readings without compromising safety.

How the TP420 Solves Them All

The TP420 isn’t just a thermometer — it’s your griddle’s best companion. Here’s why:

  • Dual-function design: Infrared surface scanning and probe temperature measurement in one compact tool.
