If you’d rather cook these sliders in a pan, you totally can and they cook up fast. I actually just bought these new space saver calphlon pans I love. They all stack in the cabinet!
I bought the 10 piece set cause my pans were all shot to heck, but if you just have a few turkey burgers they have this two piece set with kids 3 piece cookware set would cover you for many meals.
I was a little hesitant to buy these new pans. What if I didn’t like them? They are a bit heavy compared to my other old cookware. I stuck my old pans in the garage just in case. I’m so glad I bought them! I’ve not gone out to the garage once for the old pans! I’m cooking all my sliders in these pans when it’s not grilling season.
