Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Presto 07045 Family-Size Cool-Touch Tilt'N Drain Electric Griddle
Customer Review: Good, but could be better.
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this griddle intending to use it to cook pancakes, bacon, and to heat torillas.
First of all, the aluminum surface of the griddle is not as thick as I was expecting. I haven't measured it, but I'd estimate it's between 1/8" and 3/16" thick across most of the surface. As such, it does warp under high heat. It was set on top of my smooth top range (range was off and cold, of course!) and when I turned it past 450 degrees, I found that one of the 4 legs would be off the surface. There is a raised lip around the outer edge which would prevent liquids (pancake batter, beaten egg, etc) from spilling off. This is useful and well executed.
Previous reviews noted that your pancakes can come out "striped" due to the heating element. I underestimated this. Though made of aluminum, there definitely are vast differences in heat from one area of the griddle to another. I think this griddle would perform much better if the heating element covered more of the surface of the griddle, kind of like the design of an electric oven's broiler element.
For heating tortillas, I've got no complaints. And this griddle can get hot, as I've done chicken stir-fry and fajitas all on the surface of the griddle.
Overall, I think I paid a fair price for it, but I'd look for a more expensive, higher quality model next time around.
