Probably not. Is there a better way? Of course!
A couple of years ago I got to “test drive” a Blackstone griddle prior to owning mine and it was awesome. I was hooked once I saw how easy it was to handle and cook on. Santa brought me one (LINK) that Christmas after I wouldn’t shut up about it. I promptly did epic breakfasts, fried rice, country style potatoes and whatever else I could find an excuse to cook on it. After owning it a while and the newness wore off I reflected on what I cooked on it and the accessories I purchased for it.
