2.In a medium to large bowl, mix the peppers, green onions, garlic, salt, egg, 1½ cups of the panko, mayonnaise, Worcestershire, Dijon, Old Bay and hot sauce (if using). Add the crabmeat and very gently mix all of the ingredients together (it is best to do this with clean hands to avoid over-mixing, but you can do it with a spoon if you are careful to keep the crabmeat intact).

3.Using your hands, shape the mixture into ¼-cup round cakes (no higher than ½-inch) and put them on a clean plate, separating the layers with wax paper. Cover with plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour before cooking (this helps keep the crab cakes together when cooking and melds the flavors).

4.Fit the Griddler® Deluxe with the griddle plates and preheat both plates to 400°F. Brush the plates with a little vegetable oil (this will help to crisp and lightly brown the crab cakes).

5.While the unit is preheating, lightly dredge the crab cakes in the remaining panko.

6.When the griddle is hot, cook the crab cakes in batches, approximately 8 minutes per side. Crab cakes should be a deep golden brown on both sides.

7.Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
