I love it. But it's not perfect. You notice the uneven browning? The heating elements makes a loop on the underside so that the outside of the griddle gets up to temp, but the dead center does not get nearly as high (look at that poor lone paleface in the middle). The solution is obvious: I just don't put a pancake in the center. And I make sure that the griddle heats up completely between batches of pancakes. We get a nice crisp crust and…here's the best part…I can make them faster than they can eat them. I went from cooking 3-4 smallish pancakes on my Circulon to 8 medium to large pancakes. Woohoo!
The non-stick surface is simply awesome and clean up is a breeze. The griddle surface will wipe clean after cooking pancakes. After cooking meat (we did pork chops), just let the griddle cool completely and gently scrape off the charred bits with the edge of a plastic spatula. Finish off with dish soap and water. No elbow grease required. The only drawback is that this monster is so big it does not fit into my super deep double sink…makes it a bit messy to rinse. That and I'm a bit of a spaz when it comes to using the sprayer.
One thing I would change: If the drip tray were a little bigger, it could fit the temp control, so it wouldn't get lost and tangled up in my drawer."..." Read more
