Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid Hard-Base Porcelain Aluminum Nonstick 18-by-10-Inch Two-Burner Griddle, RedCustomer Review: Good for ceramic cooktop with bridge burner Summary: 5 Stars
I looked long and hard for a double griddle for my new GE ceramic cooktop range with a bridge burner. This one works great for pancakes. It's really well made, perfectly flat on the bottom and easy to clean up. The 10 X 18 size is the largest compatible with my 8" diameter burners.
The packaging doesn't indicate that it is ceramic cooktop compatible, so I called Kitchenaid support. At first I was told it is not compatible and the porcelain bottom might accidentally fuse to the cooktop. I was frustrated because the other double griddles I had bought were too big or not perfectly flat on the bottom even when they looked flat. I tested for flatness by placing the griddle on the cooktop and alternately pushing on opposite corners with my fingers. This one had no wobble. I called GE trying to figure out which of the flaws was the least problem. Porcelain is okay as long as you don't leave it on a hot burner with nothing in the pan. Too large a pan has the greatest risk of cracking and damaging the cooktop. I really wanted to keep the Kitchenaid griddle and called Kitchenaid support again. This time I was told this griddle is okay on ceramic tops AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A BRIDGE BURNER!
I kept this griddle and have used it for pancakes, french toast and sausages. I love it. I use it at a heat setting of 6 out of 10 or lower ( 4 to 5 is better for pancakes and French toast.). It browns evenly and is easy to clean up. I will not use it at high temperatures or for steaks or hamburgers because of the concern of getting the porcelain coating too hot. I wait for it to completely cool before washing to prevent it from warping. If only Kitchenaid made one that is hard-anodized aluminum on the bottom, then I could be sure it is safe for high heat, too.
