Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Presto 07039 Professional 22-Inch Jumbo Electric Griddle
Customer Review: satisfied
Summary: 3 Stars
I just bought this Griddle today. The first thing I made with it were hamburgers. Immediately the hamburger fat started rolling down into the drain and accumulated in the little catch. I have never had healthier hamburgers. It helps to have a well vented kitchen though because mine isn't. I have heard of doctors recomending this grills to patients who need to eat healtheir for the reason stated above. I kinda wish I bought an electric griddle like this sooner. The standard griddles that go on the stove top don't have a drain. Plus the electric griddles have the drain and they heat evenly -- unless of course if you buy a cheapo no-name brand electric griddle.
I didn't give the griddle a 5 star because I feel that the cord/temperature control should have been on the front so it's easier to see it. Some people might want it on the side though because it keeps the electric cord out of your way. Not only that but the manufacturer could have made the griddle thicker. It doesn't cost that much more it's just the damn bean counters that cut back everywhere to make the products as cheap as possible -- as much as they can get away with.
Another major issue is common with MOST but not all electric appliances like this one that use electric-resistance heating to work. Once again the bean counters made things cheap again and so this particular electric griddle and many others have a small cord with no 3rd prong on the plug for the "ground". Having an appliance like this one that uses 1,500 Watts becomes many times safer if it is grounded using a cord with 3 wires and a 3 prong plug for the ground. But in order for the manufacturers to make more money and by keeping prices down they went the cheap route and utilized the 2 prong plugs with paper thin cords that will melt if you leave the unit runing too long. They cords can melt and start off an electrical fire quicker than you can say "live tomorrow".
Electric space heaters at 1,500 watts have had that problem for decades and it's only NOW that manufactures are being required by law to use the safer grounded cord that are both thicker and with a 3 prong "grounded" plug. So if you are going to buy a space heater NEW make sure it has a "Ground", that way you know you have the updated - safer version which is about 1,000 times less likely to catch fire and burn your house down.
I say it's about time the LAW steped in to protect consumers against greedy corporations for the electric space heaters case.
Now when will the law step in and mandate safer cords for electric griddles sold in the US of A?
So PRESTO, sell me an electric griddle with a safe "grounded" cord and I'll rate it a 5 star!!!
After that happens, the next thing you can do is make your products in the USA so the unemployed will have jobs once I try my hardest not to buy your products made in China, Singapore, Thiland, Tiawan, Bangladesh, India, Mexico, and Haiti but sometimes there is nothing I can find made in the good o' USA for a certain type of product like an electric griddle.
Description of Presto 07039 Professional 22-Inch Jumbo Electric Griddle
Heavy cast aluminum resists warping, distributes heat evenly. DiamondCoat deluxe nonstick finish inside and out. Submersible with Control Master heat control removed. Cast aluminum base, phenolic handles. Removable heat control and grease tray. 120 v AC 1500 wattsGenerously proportioned with a 22-by-11-inch cooking surface, this indoor electric griddle cooks enough pancakes or hamburgers for a large crowd. Similar to Presto?s Model 07038 22-Inch Electric Griddle, this model features a smoother, more professional grade nonstick finish. Because food doesn?t stick easily, the griddle requires very little grease, thereby producing healthier food. For fattier meats like bacon, a groove along one side channels drips through a small hole into a sturdy plastic container that slides completely out for cleaning. When the griddle?s heat control is removed, the unit is fully submersible in warm, soapy water. The 1500-watt griddle plugs into any 120-volt outlet and automatically maintains any temperature setting from warm to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Made of heavy duty cast aluminum that resists warping and distributes heat evenly, the griddle overall measures 27 by 13 by 4-1/2 inches and is covered by a two-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri
