Presto 07061 22-inch Electric Griddle With Removable Handles, Black, 22-inch

There are sometimes 5 of us at home, depending on college schedules, so having maximum space on a griddle is key. This one heats up quickly, cooks evenly, and is easy to clean. It is lightweight, but also sturdy. You can fit a lot of pancakes, grilled cheese, or sausage patties on this.I was looking for the largest one on the market -- if this isn't the largest, it's close.

I had one of these a million years ago. It started to peel, so I threw it away. This is the most perfect way to cook pancakes. You get the exact temp. I always used just between 300, and 350. This is even nicer than my old one was... You can take the handles off!!! Stores perfectly. AND wow... Talk about non stick... This surface is REALLY slick... The most perfect appliance that I have ever owned. Really, if you cook a lot of stuff at once, this is the trick. And... the temp control is the bees knees.

Great value for the money. 22 inch size is good for cooking enough at one time. The textured surface is nice also. Easy clean up. Cooks evenly across surface.

I had a few things I was looking for in a grill.- VERY nonstick- easy to clean- steady temperature- low sides- even heat distribution* (This is the problem)I was wary of the nonstick issue with this griddle. The textured surface concerned me. I bought it anyway, because of the questions and reviews. Other reviewers said it would be fine and they were right! ZERO sticking. I did eggs with no oil or butter this morning and they were perfectLow sides - I needed these griddles to make crepes. A LOT of crepes. After the batter is poured, I use an offset spatula to spread them out. I'd been having serious issues with this when using my stove and the first (bad) griddle I tried. Well, these handles are super low. I didn't even bump into one while cooking my super-sized test batch."Easy to clean." This was a place where I thought I'd be forced to compromise. I'm happy to report that I was wrong. The handles pop right off. All you have to do is press two springs and away they go. Without the handles and the wire, it's nothing to take it to the sink for a quick wipe down. This is where the nonstick surface really shines. There's barely anything to wipe off.Steady temperature. This was the reason I was forced to try a new griddle in the first place. With my gas stove, I felt like I was spinning plates. I kept having to tweak each burner the entire time I was cooking. I needed to be able to set it and forget it.The only minor bump with this is that, toward the end, both of my griddles did start to overheat. It wasn't major and I just had to drop the temp by about five degrees. Back in business in less than 30 seconds.Heat distribution. This is where Presto lost a star. One griddle has near perfect even cooking all the way across. It really is remarkable. But the second griddle has a serious cold spot in the middle. I was able to work with it (it's still SO much better than what I was using), but it is annoying. I'd live with it, but the other griddle is so perfect that I do believe that this one is defective.I'm going to make one more test batch tomorrow to pay attention to that particular issue. If it's obvious enough, I'll return this one and get another.And yes, I *absolutely* will get another. These are the best griddles I've ever had in my LIFE and right now I'm a loyal fangirl. It normally takes me about 40-45 minutes to make a batch of crepes (that's with four burners going or two of the griddles I just gave away), but last night I made a double batch in 26 minutes, start to finish. Cleanup of the griddles took me ONE MINUTEIf they last and continue to perform like they did, I'll be giving these away as presents.

We used this griddle 5-10 times a week for 5 years and a month. We hauled it with us camping countless times and used it to cook pancakes & heat tortillas for large groups. Today it has finally cooked it's last meal.From the beginning as other reviewers say this griddle has had hot and cool spots on the surface. Once I learned where these are and learned to work with them it has been a joy to use- it's actually helpful when cooking two different kinds of food (for example eggs and sausage) to have hot and cool spots. Having such a large surface to cook on speeds up meal prep, I'll probably never be able to go back to using a skillet to cook bacon or pancakes. We even used this griddle to make stir frys, steak and fried rice. It's also very non-stick! I'm very happy with how long it held up considering how rough we have been with it and how often we use it. I would buy the same one again.
