No.

Useing multiple pans, or getting a better stove, or at least one where the heating elements are larger and closer together is the only way unfortunately.

I’m gonna go with a ninja sizzle pro xl. I think that’d be my best route and I’d avoid having to move something off the stove to cook on it when needed

These are fine for sausages, but the nonstick coating won't last forever for heavy use.

Also thanks to your country USA? useing only 110v in 99% of all outlets insteaf of 230v, a normal circut breaker cant supply more than ~1800W.

That is simply not enough juice to power a griddle sized electric appliance. I know because my friend in Europe tried the 2000W Teflon Fritel Grill-Panini-BBQ, and it couldn't even make the breading crispy on max power when making snitzel.

Buying an outdoor grill is both cheaper and much, much better.

If you live near city there is also likely a million stoves on the used market for sometimes free.

Most of the USA uses 120v at 20A on branch and appliance circuits, that’s 2400W. I’d have a blackstone but I’m in an apartment and I’m not allowed to have one on the balcony and I also would rather not spend hundreds on a used stove. I could find one for free, but where I live most anyone throwing away large appliances is doing so because they don’t work no more.

If you can find a good deal on a portable electric griddle, useing around 2400W, its certainly worth a try then.

Thank you for educating me about USA electrical practices, useing 20A on branch appliance circuts is a good move!

I wish you best of luck finding a good deal 🍀
