I bought this 2 weeks ago to make lefsa for christmas and i could fit 2 rounds of lefsa on it..its a a nice large surface....i recommend it to anyone for pancakes...lefsa or whatever has to be on grill..excellent thank you.
The griddle has even heat through out the surface. Size easily handles a meal for four. The large handles make it easy to move if necessary, while the non slip feet hold it in place. Clean up was very easy.
We had an electric griddle by another manufacturer for over 30 years with no issues but it recentl died. How will be ever make latkes or pancakes of fried eggs en masse ?? Thi tool is the perfect answer and we are enjoying it thoroughly. We pray that it will give us decades of service as well.
The biggest problem in cookware these days is durability, the number of frying pans and skillets I have that have been warped by heat because the metal is too thin is ridiculous, additionally I usually avoid non-stick cookware, care is too tedious, a properly seasoned cast iron pan is usually far better bang for the buck.
HOWEVER, this griddle is amazing, I've spent my life until now cooking breakfast in 3 separate pans, now I'm cooking it all on 1... it's heavy and hardy construction makes it durable and able to withstand heating and cooling over and over, simple elegant design means few components to break (more moving parts=shorter life usually), the drip channel at the front is a thoughtful idea for draining off excess grease without having to try and dump the whole thing, the non-stick surface works extremely well, although it took some getting used to not having to "unstick" my eggs half way through the cooking process, temperature control holds well (another reason I usually go for cast iron, heats more evenly than aluminum or steel) and its big enough that I can cook a couple pancakes, some sausages. and eggs on it, they call it family sized... its big enough for my morning meals at least!
I was going to give it 4/5 for features as it really only has 2, it cooks stuff, and has a drip tray, but thats all I want, anything more is just more unnecessary rubbish to break and get in the way, so it gets 5
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Works well and has a large surface. Can cook a whole pack of bacon on one placing. Drain pad is a great design, drips as you cook, hence less fat on food. The only minor issue is that the unit is a little slippery on a glass or stove surface.
