Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Broil King PCG-10 Professional Portable Nonstick Griddle
Customer Review: Outstanding Performance
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this griddle a few weeks ago so that I could finally sit down with my family to for Sunday pancake breakfast, and it delivered - I can easily cook eight pancakes at once with flipping room to spare. But the size is only part of the story. The non-stick performance had me a little worried out of the box, as there were some "lines" on the surface that might have been manufacturing issues, but they seemed to just be cosmetic - after some cooking they've faded, and the non-stick performance (new) is simply outstanding - easily matches my good All Clad cookware for pure non-stick goodness and simple cleanup.
Another thing I really appreciate is how even the cooking temperature is. There are simply no hot spots on this thing, and if I really, really want to be picky, the temperature might fall off a bit at the very edge, but cooking eight pancakes gives me a great visual indicator from edge-to-edge, front-to-back, and there were simply no pancakes that had appreciably different cooking from each other. I both amazed and pleased.
The size makes this something that can be tricky to store - we have an entire double-width cabinet dedicated to just this and my big electric skillet, and we have to tilt the griddle a bit to make it all fit. It's too deep to fit if you turn it perpendicular - the cabinet door won't close all the way. So, be prepared to work a bit to find a place to store it.
But as a workhorse for a serious breakfast cook, I think this guy's a winner.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE - January 2011
After living with this griddle for quite some time, I wanted to mention something I've run into. I still think this is a great griddle - the even heating across the board is amazing, the temperature control is great. But - and this is because I add a very thin coat of oil for browning my pancakes - the non-stick surface gets a sticky residue that is T-O-U-G-H to clean off. I've tried just about everything, and so far, a paste of baking soda and water and plenty of elbow grease gets off most of it, but not all. I'd still recommend this griddle strongly, and the non-stick surface is holding up wonderfully even after many uses, but it's something to be aware of. I am sticking with the 5-star rating, however, as this griddle is still a winner.
