Bought one of these for my dad, as hes been wanting one of these griddles for a while. He used to be a line cook and had experience working a real cooktop. Those garbage kitchen griddles just werent cutting it. Theyd always burn out, or the non stick coatings would start to flake. You cant get them hot enough to sear a steak, etc. So I got him this and hes been really enjoying it. Hes been frying up steaks, pork chops, bacon, burgers, and even stuff like enchiladas. And he can use his metal utensils on it with no worry about marring the surface.

The only cons are that the surface heats unevenly. The heating element seems to be under 2/3rds of the cooktop with the other third only getting radiated heat from the other side. So the actual viable cooking surface is a bit smaller than expected. It is nice, however, for keeping things warm. If you're cooking a full cooktop of bacon, the left side will crisp up, while the right side stays raw. It also takes a long time to get to temp. I'm guessing that's a limitation of running on 110 volt. It also seems to fluctuate in temperature, where it will cool down rapidly and struggle for a bit to get back up to temp, but it eventually gets there.

Overall, its a pretty nice griddle!

This is an amazing appliance. I prepared breakfast this morning French toast, sausage patties and eggs.
It heats fast and cools.
It comes greased so I heat it up and cleaned it.
You will need a griddle kit and griddle grease to keep it clean. Preferably a grill brick…and once you’re done cooking throw some ice cubes on it and scrub gently with the grill brick and your cleaning is easy peasy.
Lightly grease with a griddle grease and a paper towel.

It's really a dependable good griddle you can't beat this deal and you have a choice how you can to season it like my Blackstone griddle or season like I season my AVANTCO restaurant griddle yes I have several griddles even a foodie griddle but my go too day today Is This One right Here!!!

I recently purchased the 18-inch electric griddle with a 1600W power output, and I’m incredibly impressed with its performance! After seasoning it properly, as recommended, I found that the heat distribution is truly even, which is essential for achieving perfect cooking results. I set the temperature to 375°F, and it heated up quickly, allowing me to make fluffy pancakes and grilled sandwiches with ease. The non-stick surface is fantastic; I barely used any oil, and everything slid right off without sticking.The thermostat is responsive and very easy to use, ensuring consistent results every time. If you're looking for a reliable electric griddle that delivers quality cooking, I highly recommend this one! You won't be disappointed!
