Unit is incredibly well built, works better than any other griddle I’ve seen. The texture of the pan makes for nearly perfect non stick for pancakes and eggs.

We had another griddle for years and this was a great update. While the recommended warm up time was longer that of our previous (lower-quality) model, this holds heat better and cooks more evenly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent Electric Griddle!

I purposely waited to leave a review until I could use it a few times…really happy with this griddle so far, namely: 1. Size - The griddle surface area is larger than most electric griddles which is great so you don’t have to crowd the food when cooking. 2. Griddle Surface/Clean-up - The non stick coating is excellent and cleans up very easily…time will tell how it holds up but initial impressions are it’s very durable and good quality cooking surface. FYI, the cooking surface is not smooth…it’s got a diamond grid pattern so foods don’t slide all over the place. 3. Heat Setting - I was skeptical it could get hot enough but I haven’t found anything yet that I wish it could be hotter. It does take some time to preheat, which is probably because the griddle itself is fairly thick and heavy, but once it preheated it works great.
Overall, I’m very pleased with this griddle. I previously used a standard Blackstone griddle but didn’t like the fact that you could never truly clean it, always felt like I was tasting what was cooked the last time. When it came time to get a new, it was between this and the Blackstone E series, and glad I chose the Zojirushi.

The Gourmet Sizzler Electric Griddle is amazing. My husband uses this EVERY DAY and it works like a charm. Keeps an even temperature and is easy to clean. This is our second appliance by Zojirushi and we are very happy with the quality of their products. Highly Recommend!!!

I missed that this griddle is pitted; it is not a smooth surface. the first time I tried pancakes with no oil on the griddle it was surprisingly resistant to releasing the pancakes, for a new griddle. I tried oil the next week and the pancakes more easily lifted off the griddle, but the oil left a film after cleaning. So, cleaning is more difficult than previous griddles owned, non-pitted, e.g., blue berries from pancakes get in the recessed areas. more scrubbing.
The pitted design begs questions. It is a non-stick surface, but not as non-stick as I was used to from my aging smooth-surface griddle. Certainly not as easy to clean as I am used to, and I follow the guidance to the letter prior to use and cleaning, let cool.
Also, it takes much longer to get to 300, assuming it is 300, than my much older griddle. In fairness, I base my assessment on the light turning off, so there is room for argument that the old griddle might not be so accurate.
Not thrilled with this purchase, but it was my mistake missing that it is pitted. I cannot recommend this griddle vs a smooth griddle for items like pancakes. It is, otherwise, solid and feels like a quality item. minus the crazy pits this would be a perfect griddle for my use.
NOTE: not thrilled my option to present the review in the email left me at this page to enter everything again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Really happy with this purchase! I love the super even heating across the unit. It’s very easy to clean. Easily the best e-griddle I’ve ever had. Good directions, easy to follow. It is pricey, but no regrets. It’s a great quality product that does what I want it to do. Hoping it lasts a long time.
