Method

Turn one side of the griddle on to medium/high to high heat (above 400°F [200°C]).
Turn the other side on to medium/low heat (300 to 325°F [150°C to 170°C]).
Once the medium/low side of the griddle is to temperature, lay the butter on the griddle. As the butter melts, place the onions and mushrooms down in the butter to begin cooking the vegetables. C
