Old electric frypan used for pikelets has died

#Post
1

I have an old Electric Ultimate frypan with a pinkish lid that has recently died after 42 years of use. I only use it now for pikelets. I bought a Russell Hobbs very smart square non stick sandwich press to replace it for pikelet making. Salesperson said yes good for pikelets. Its hopeless. We have a gas cooktop. Can anyone please suggest a replacement appliance or griddle for making pikelets please that I can buy. Briscoes is having another big sale on Friday
Many thanks.

How about an electric frypan?

I know what you mean about using a sandwich press for pikelets. Didn't work for me either. Maybe another well worn electric frypan from an op shop for around $15? I now just use an old heavy once-nonstick 30cm frying pan on my gas hob- works perfectly on a low heat.

Just use the cast iron frying pan on the gas , the one you make pancakes in

I bought an electric skillet on sale at Briscoes recently which I love. Much more convenient size than my bigger pan which has now been donated to my flatting GDaughter. I find it great for making pancakes, pikelets and griddle scones.

Thankyou all for the suggestions. I'll take a peek at the electric skillet at Briscoes. Your comments and advice appreciated

I use an electric pancake maker. A good size to get about 4 pikelets done at one time. I just use a little butter to grease. Works really well.
