Presto 07062-22-Inch Ceramic Removable Handles Electric Griddle, Grey Ceramic

This big girl is beautiful. Just made a five egg omelet on it. Ham and cheese too. Still had room on the side for bacon, but not today. Cooked in a few minutes. Even cook, nothing ran off the side. No stick, no mess and she rinses right off. The handles pop on/off easily for storage or cleaning.10/10 would buy again. I would have posted a photo of my omelet, but I ate it already as it was cooked so nicely.

We have owned a number of electric griddles over the years. They've all had hot spots, and the nonstick finish never held up, even though I always handwash them with gentle scrubbers. My husband does most of the cooking, and he uses the griddle for all sorts of things, including eggs, pancakes, bacon and sausage, and hash browns. So he gets to see how they perform under a variety of heat conditions, and with different requirements for oil lubrication of the griddle's surface.We have been happy with our ceramic pots and pans, so when it came time to replace our griddle, I looked at the ceramic options, and found that the best reviewed ceramic griddle at the time was the Presto 07062 Ceramic 22-inch Electric Griddle with removable handles. It also happens to have a great price. So I bought it.My husband has used this griddle a lot for the past two months, and every time he uses it, he comments on how much better it is than any griddle we've ever had. It is true that there is a visible mark on the top of the griddle where the heating ring runs around the underneath — it's kind of a loss of the ceramic sheen, not really a discoloration. It does not affect the cooking at all; it will just never look new-out-of-the-box again. So we don't care about that.There is a very distinct diamond pattern texture to the entire surface. I wondered whether this would catch particles and bake them into a hard crust that would be difficult to clean, but that fear was entirely unfounded. This griddle cleans up so easily! See the photo with this review. It shows both the diamond pattern and the only two scrubbers I ever use to clean the griddle — a plastic scrubbing ball and a nail brush (for fingernails). After sudsing off the surface of the griddle with the scrubbing ball, I give it a light rinse and then use some of the leftover suds to run diagonally across the griddle in both directions with the nail brush. This gets anything out in the low places of the diamond texture. It is really very quick, and quite effective. I never have to use elbow grease. Even tough, cooked-on food comes off easily.MOST IMPORTANT: Do not EVER use nonstick spray with ceramic surfaces! It can't withstand the heat, and becomes a super sticky residue that is nearly impossible to get off. We discovered this with our regular ceramic-coated pots and pans. On ceramic surfaces, only use high temperature oils — we usually use butter on the griddle. This griddle doesn't need any oil at all on pancakes (or, obviously, bacon & sausage); for eggs, we use just a tad of butter and smear it onto the part of the griddle that we will be using for the eggs.And finally, we have found the drip tray to be more than large enough to hold all the grease that flows from six slices of bacon.I would definitely recommend this griddle with no hesitation.

This guy is awesome. It’s large surface handles up to eight hamburger patties. Cooks quickly and cleans up easily. Don’t put it in the dishwasher. Tears down quickly too.

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 had a presto nonstick griddle years ago and it eventually stopped working after 10 years (not bad!). I replaced it with a different brand with a ceramic nonstick coating because Presto had yet to come out with a ceramic coated nonstick griddle. That griddle didn't last more than two years. At the end of its short appliance life it sparked and started smoking at the plug in connection port.Now I'm happy to have a Presto again. This is easy to clean. I like that the feet come. It heats relatively evenly (none of the electric griddles will ever be perfect). Things in the very corners take a bit longer to brown, but you can easily move your food around because of the slick nonstick surface. This makes great english muffins, pancakes, and tortillas!
