Notes

Time‑saving tips: Thin chicken cutlets cook fast. Prep veggies before heating griddle.
Avocado or canola oil resists high heat—don’t add too early to avoid burning.
Griddle zones: Use one side for proteins, one for veggies to control doneness.
Cleaning tip: When done, scrape off residue while still warm, wipe with paper towels, then season lightly to protect the surface.
