I appreciate that you don’t talk endlessly about your personal life. Demonstration videos are not vlogs and most youtubers don’t understand that. Lots of great information and ideas here. Very quick and to the point and not wasting my data. Haha.

They do that in order to relate to people.

[@micheledau1294]

Totally agree:)

Years later and this pops up on my feed and now I want to go and find where I put my little machine…probably donated it and now I want to use it! Great video!

[@kirk1968]

The algorithm brought me here in 2024, that was a great real-world demonstration 😊 I've heard those griddles don't suck up too much battery power, think I will need to get one for traveling. Cheers from Phoenix!

[@jamesroberts9192]

Don't beat yourself up not being a chef nobody is born that way we all have to learn. And you did just fine. Way to go girl. I'll give you a 8 on it because you did good. 😎🤗😇

[@samanthaspeaks9667]

Cookies don't harden up until given time to cool regardless of cooking method so next time I'd try not flipping and then turning off/unplugging the machine once it got to the desired color &lifting the top to allow to cool/ set up a bit before moving it.

[@KimberlyLuna-x9y]

Useful tip. Ill go for that..thank you

[@Rainwatercolor]

Me too and about 10 min as I recall

[@thesupermom1975]

Favorite part: when you go to smacking the cookie with the spatula! 😆

[@kellyjohnson3617]

I got a triple dash, griddle, grill and waffle maker. Take it with me traveling. It’s great. I used to bring it to work to cook my breakfast and lunch and even dinner sometimes in the break room. I have made grilled cheese sandwiches and love it. You can use it to make anything that will fit. Cook fish, hamburgers, ham steaks or bacon, as you said. I love my electric cookware. It’s been a real boon to my kitchen. I need to get the dashes out and cook either them again. It’s been a minute. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@jimhurleywhitakerjr]

Both sides have elements and heat to a little over 300°F each. When done, If you take a tall stack of napkins and cut them round (scissors) put them in, put water, close. Allow one heat cycle. Open. Wipe. Viola! Steam cleaned. Save the napkin stack for next time right in the griddle. Might change top and bottom napkins once in a while. Sounds like a lot to do at first but it's easy after that.

[@kathleenkline4622]

Thin loin pork chops, dusted with lemon pepper, would likely cook beautifully! Thick sliced sweet onion, green peppers, thinly sliced beef for fajitas. I just may have to spring for one of those gadjets.

[@belindamarie3222]

Nice job! I watched a few other vid's of people cooking on this mini griddle just before your's ( they only cooked an egg)..and you really have the bestie! I learned a lot an will finally use mine grill..so thx!

[@barbaratibbets8643]

Loved the cookie experiment! I’m a newbie with the griddle and learned a lot so thanks!

[@barbnicosia4361]

I have had my Dash mini griddle about 3 months now. I absolutely love it. I now won't be without one. It does cook several food choices. Your video was excellent...right on Rachel. Enjoy camping.

[@RachelinRealLife]

Thanks Barb!

[@MelissaThompson432]

I am very fond of pepperoni slices cooked crisp. I often sub them for bacon.

[@DebZaragoza]

I have both the Dash Mini Griddle and the Mini Waffle maker. I'm going to try the egg sandwich with Canadian bacon, and those cookies, yum! I especially like this because I also have a LifePo generator, so it's a good option also if the power goes out at my house. I like grilled cheese sandwiches on my mini griddle. Thanks for sharing, loved the video... Happy New Year! 🥳

[@charlenereed7813]

Was so nice to see someone using other items on this mini grill. It didn't take long I was amazed about that. I have one but have not used it but once couldn't think of other things to cook. Now I really have some ideas thank you.

[@Kenderchild]

A layer of foil on the bottom when you make cookies gives it more of an oven bake.

[@HopeandPrayer]

Funny that you say you'll reuse the maple syrup container for regular syrup -- maple syrup was the original pancake syrup many years ago! I grew up on Aunt Jemima pancake syrup, but once I got used to maple syrup I came to prefer it. Thanks for the fantastic ideas! I have a mini griddle but haven't used it yet. This video has me more excited to do so!

[@momcquinn]

I just got one of these a few days ago. I love it so far. I made egg sandwiches for my kids and the egg was still runny so I just flipped out over onto it's lid. Thanks for making this!

[@willothewispl]

That was interesting. How about trying a pizza pocket or brownie.

[@jamesfriend481]

“I hope it’s not disgusting! “I laughed

[@sharonnm6799]

Fun video! Dash griddle would be great for traveling or single people who don’t like cooking. I use the dried beef in a delicious appetizer called Paul’s Bread…cream cheese, sour cream, the beef chopped diced, chopped green chili mixed together and put in a bread bowl. You use the bread you cut out of center of your round loaf to dip.

[@tinabeane]

Great idea on what to cook in it. I got the Egg bite one for xmas, I like to use the grill to cook different things but am just getting started. Love the easy clean up.

[@PopFizzPaperDani]

During cooking video: I am not a cook. Lol! Thanks for sharing about this lil grill. It’s cool to see how much it can do. 🤗

[@RachelinRealLife]

I'm definitely not 😀. Hope your holidays were good!

[@dlight2669]

Nice. I'll use the sausages w egg sandwich and ground beef for the quesadilla. Good selection of meals for the Dash and electric battery. So many possibilities.

[@LisaCote-bq4iw]

I like the red salvadoran refried beans in a pouch. Spread those inside your tortilla, sprinkle in mild chopped green chiles and then cheese for your quesadilla.

[@robinthomas732]

I really enjoy your videos they have saved me alot, thank you.

[@mcomeslast]

The cookie would work better just flipping out on a plate so it can set up. Gave me some good ideas

[@cherylbrown8537]

if you flip it over on the top, it will cookon both sides without having to flip it in the cooker

[@javaman5464]

Great video. Gave me a lot of great ideas for areas where stoves and open flames are not allowed.

[@maura6375]

grin.. try one cookie at a time.. faster 😁

[@theresedignard4267]

Pancakes make awesome breakfast sandwich buns. ;). I have the square griddle so it resolves the toast issues.

[@Lisa_marie1212]

You could slice the steak into strips to cook with peppers and onions for fajitas. 🙌🏻

[@sherrymuzykazekestravels6793]

Loved this video! I have a grill similar to this one which came from Walmart and I love it. My 13 year old grand daughter will definitely start cooking more for herself when she has a snack attackl😂 I am a new subscriber on the verge of becoming nomadic hopefully within a years time. Just need a good power pack.

[@veronica978]

You should try the egg bite maker... you can fir bread perfectly on there for normal size sandwich bread

[@HopeandPrayer]

I've seen the egg bite maker. Can it be used a mini griddle, then? I wasn't sure.

[@amaineac2133]

Great idea's thank you for posting the link of where to find appliances you use. God Bless.

[@MelissaThompson432]

Idk much about dried beef, but the way I have seen it prepared is boiled in plain water and drained, and then cooked in a gravy and served over some starch (potatoes, rice, toast.) The gravy seems to be the focus, with the beef there mostly to add interest.

[@lct7192000]

I bought one of these at Ross for $7.99 yesterday and this pops up on KZbin

[@theanswerisprayer]

What an awesome helpful video

[@judysbakeryandtestkitchen1654]

Thank you very much! This is amazing

[@aprilvillmer2611]

awesome!

[@oviedo2912]

Nice video. Maybe next time you should try thin sliced or shaved steak

[@karendixon5262]

I can't wait to try some of these recipes 😋

[@thomasmckay9878]

Very cool personal cooking item

[@joolzmac1]

I’d slice through the steak to make 2 thinner pieces. They’d grill much quicker. It all looked good!

[@basicPROcreator]

Camping alone! no problem! haha. i like your trip! I'm sure your so full that day. haha

[@SupaSssima]

Hello, i would like to buy one of these but unfortunately they don't ship to France ☹️ someone can tell me where to find them?? Thanks a lot to who will answer me!

[@seasea12]

They have dash mini griddles on Amazon, do they ship there?

[@kristinebrousseau8626]

Along w/a dash griddle, the ruce cooker makes full on meat/spaghetti dinner, to simple ranen or rice, lentils, almost everything! Cheap investment as well, safe travels & bon apetit

[@grlnexdoorable]

Does it work better than the Aroma brand rice cooker? I always have to runthat one twice.

[@fritzkabeano1969]

I was looking at the 8-inch version of this griddle and it's a shame neither one opens all the way so you could use both sides to cook different things at the same time.

[@dontask8979]

Posting this just in time for breakfast.😋 It would be cool if they made it so you don't have to turn the food over. Make it so you can flip the whole unit over, like the waffle makers in some hotels.

[@RachelinRealLife]

What was for breakfast? I think they had to be somewhere in the middle with these units; too shallow and your food spills out, and too deep, you might as well use a pan.

[@robinparra2549]

Love your videos...real life out come....lol...love it! Hey, see that your power bank is the Aeiusny....what do you think of it...have you or can you do a review on it...how do you like? Pro...Cons??

[@RachelinRealLife]

Thanks Robin. Not sure I'll do a review of the battery because it's just my backup. Overall though, I do like it! It was important to me that a battery was at least 500W so I can use a hair straightener, hand saw, and now small appliances. I've used it to run my fridge for a day and a half, but I like having a bigger battery for my fridge. The con that comes to mind is the beeping when it gets to 15% - 20%, and there's no way to turn it off that I've found.

[@khonthainaidc]

How many meals that battery last for cooking? Can it last for 4 peoples 3 meals a day for 3 days? Thank you. I love how the eggs turned out, very cute gadgets! I probably want thicker ham but I don’t like spam. 🤔

[@Rocky06251988]

Empanadas so easy. bread, meat ( even spam) bell pepper, cumin, garlic powder S&P and choluca. oh yes ma'am

[@RachelinRealLife]

When you mentioned Spam, my ears perked up! Great suggestion on the empanada. I will definitely give them a try.

[@jeanolsen2077]

I use a spray bottle of water to cleaning my dishes.

[@capdriving]

this great

[@davidmurling4252]

For the meat you could have used a package of the buddig lunch meat and get the chicken or the beef for the ham and that you could have used that in your breakfast sandwich and it would have been less salty.

[@emdee8840]

What is the name and model of the powered unit you have the griddle plugged into, please?

[@janethewitt3671]

I Love You...we do this too! Great Lil' Video!

[@Rainwatercolor]

I make Keto waffles with their waffle maker 1 egg 1/8 cup PorQ Panel crumbs ... Top with butter yummy! Some use cheese not me

[@Rainwatercolor]

Also get a 3 qt Instant Pot and sous vide your steak to about med rare 138 degrees 3 hours night before. Put bag in ice bath then refrigerate... Its just in need of Browning yummy!

[@shinitapepper5629]

Use parchment paper for cooking cookies

[@beautifulvita1]

How long do you cook the egg for

[@mothershelper1981]

That chipped beef is not meant to be eaten by itself. It's super salty because that's how it is preserved. My mother used to buy it once in a while and make a gravy using it that was pretty good, served over toast. It wasn't till I was an adult that I learned the military term for that which I shant mention here. For anyone watching their sodium, which probably everyone should, the chipped beef and the canned sausages are probably not a very healthy choice.

[@johnnytieszen]

I eat it by itself all the time lol

[@rebeccamoody9461]

Hey nice video I have a question what is your battery bank you used in this video

[@RachelinRealLife]

Check out my Top 10 Car Camping gear list on my Amazon page: www.amazon.com/shop/rachelinreallife?listId=U7MFEZABZT5U

[@beckyshook3526]

You can rinse the salt off dried beef

[@janefarr9214]

If you rinse your dried beef before cooking, it will not be nearly as salty.

[@grannyrsh5553]

Canadian bacon might be a good meat for your breakfast sandwich

[@kemomonster5524]

What kind of battery did u use please

Damn good video! Well done

[@tobyforeman1350]

Where did you find that little bottle of maple syrup?I have the regular size bowould love the small bottle.Thanks

[@RachelinRealLife]

I think it was Walmart, but the size was more like a one use size. I got rid of it. Not a mini bottle, but here's an 8 oz size on Amazon amzn.to/3ec7RKA

[@fondasharkey-wyatt9944]

4-cheese grilled cheese. No American cheese, make one of the cheeses parmigiana.

[@liljasere]

For next time cookies harden when they cool down

[@Noway673]

I rather use a George Foreman griddle instead of that little griddle.

[@MonicaHernandez-yn8ct]

I think the steak was too thick for the griddle. Next time choose a thin cut. It will cook better.

[@HJKelley47]

I could tell you don't like cooking (lol). I have not had Vienna Sausage in 40 yrs. You know enough to keep from starving!

[@kimdagnillo8246]

OMG! You just created a thousand vegetarians. Don't say *I'm not a cook * when giving a cookery demonstration. Just don't. 😵

[@barbsmith5901]

Add just a bit of maple syrup to the batter and pour your pancakes just a little thinner. Then use them as the bread for you breakfast sandwich and you will never look back. Also brownie mix works fantastic on the griddle or mini waffle maker.

[@linhamilton18]

You can clean out an empty ketchup or squeeze mayonnaise container to put your dry mixture of pancake batter in…just fill it halfway or a little less, and when you need it, just add water shake well and squirt it onto your cute little griddle 😊 Thanks for sharing your ideas 💡

[@kimberlynorman2618]

I’ve found placing a folded wet rag between the plates,(after unplugging), cleans the griddle well.

[@RachelinRealLife]

LOVE that idea! I find the oil likes to drip out of the back after use. Thanks for the tip!

[@rocknmamma2666]

Thank you for doing all the experiments saving me all the trial and error. But most of all for introducing me to the multitude of uses as I bought all my dash minis for camping trips, as well as home use. Most all of mine are rated at 200 watts while the newer ones now seem to be 350watts. I have two 500 amp hour solar chargers. Anything one can wipe out instead of washing is a plus. The wet cloth inside as the dash cools is a great idea and I think I'll cover it with paper towels next to the dash plates. Plus, I carry and use at home a small baking/cookie sheet under to catch any overflows.

[@MD-BullCreekATX]

I have this griddle and it's amazing. For the cookie you can just flip the entire machine on its lid and it cooks just fine

[@mothershelper1981]

Thanks for the info on flipping it. I had just asked that question under another video and was curious if you could flip it safely.

[@grlnexdoorable]

I would set it on top of something like a cookie sheet or inverted metal dog bowl while flipping.

[@vickylawrence8427]

I made a mini layer cake on mine with about 4 layers. I did chocolate cake. Spread creamy Peanut butter between the layers. Mixed some Peanut Butter into Milk Chocolate frosting and frosted around the outside and top. It was so good. 1 box makes about 3 to 4 mini 4'" round layer cakes. Great for kids personal birthday cake.

[@kimtavares2950]

Great Idea...!!!

[@rickyclark4870]

Great idea kid's would definitely love them and You can personalize them especially for birthday parties and holidays those would be perfect for a small holiday gathering I wouldn't want to make them for to large of a party but I guess if you had enough of them you could but for just family Easter Christmas Halloween and Valentines if you don't do much for certain one you could base the major holiday's on your own families beliefs. I love that idea. Miss use to host huge holiday and other celebrations for our family and friends.. For even smaller ones all you would have to do is is use a certain size measuring cup and cut it where nessasary. (I'm a woman on my husband's account 40 yr marriage ❤ God bless you and your family, Stay Safe and Well.

[@angelspencer1668]

❤

[@brendahorton4907]

Fantastic idea!

[@Elle0704]

I didn’t realize I’d clicked on an older video and no one would see the suggestion… I think this cooking method would be perfect for a portobello mushroom, add cheese once cooked, then sandwich it.

[@PrincessRanday]

🧐You will find directions on the side of the dried beef jar that says that you need to soak the meat in water to rehydrate it & make it less salty! It’s used a lot in cream dishes like creamed chipped beef over toast! Aka:Sh*tOnAShingle!😝🥰

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

I have several of these mini cookers, I'm waiting on the mini sandwich/pocket maker right now. When ever you go to a fast food joint ask for salt and pepper, some places even keep them out to take yourself. Collect 20 or so of each and put them in a small zip lock snack bag. They will keep for a long time! And they are perfect for taking out to search for Sasquatch!

[@RachelinRealLife]

Is dash coming out with a sandwich version? Do tell about the salt and Sasquatch.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

@@RachelinRealLife They have one but it always seems to be unavailable, so I bought the Nostalgia Mini Sandwich Maker. Same thing with a different name on it, same price. The salt and pepper thing is good for camping an emergency situation, or Squatching, which could be the same thing! They are small, last along time, easy to come by, and they're FREE! Ya can't beat that with a stick! 🤕

[@TheFriApp9698]

1. Cool Griddle, Arnold approves. 2. The nails are fab. 3. Where are your sunglasses? Your gonna burn your eyeballs out. 4. Only for varieties sake, you can always cut up your steak/pork and bring veggies to make mini Kabobs, maybe crumble up your sausage into your egg and let them cook together. French toast is also an option. 5. Dont be so hard on yourself! Whether your cooking, camping, bigfoot hunting, or writing poetry; they are all easy once you learn the principles behind it! (Pawpaw Benton used to say there's a trick to everything!) The law of specificity states that you get better at anything you practice. Once at a small cafe in France, Picasso sat enjoying his meal when a lady asked him to draw something for her on a napkin. After about a minute, Picasso finished his drawing and said "That will be $10,000." What! It took you a minute to do that! "No said Picasso. It took me 40 years to do that." Practice pays off!

Dried beef has to be rinsed well to remove the salt that is used to dry it and make it stable.

[@gonebananas1076]

Great tip, thanks!

[@travislogan1482]

I use egg rings with my dash for McD's style breakfast sandwiches. With the ring I can separate out the white on a second egg and add the yoke to the 1st. The rings also make a good guide for cutting things like bread or tortillas to fit inside the dash. My only wish is that they would make the dash a little deeper.
