Zojirushi EA-DCC10 Gourmet Sizzler Electric Griddle,Stainless Brown Extra Large

I'm updating my original review. I have come to love this griddle. After 30+ years of using many griddles, this has proven to be the best of them all. Its costly for sure, but you absolutely wont find a better griddle that heats evenly with great non-stick. I get the reviews about the exact temperature of the settings, no issues, I jest set it lower... I'm the grandpa who makes the worlds best pancakes... Perfect $160 for an Electric Griddle, just completely crazy, but I decided to buy this for two advertised features. Ever heat distribution and easy to clean, and one feature important to me with the higher sides but not as high as a large electric skillet. Yes the temperature was even. I used a scanning laser thermometer and cooked french toast this morning. Set the temperature to 350 and let it preheat. the temperature varied 5-12 degrees edge to edge, end to end... perfect Not perfect is that when set to 350 the temp was 405 degrees, so I adjusted to 300 to accomplish my goal. Six slices of toast were cooked even with no hot spots whatsoever, a lifetime first and worth a premium. Yes it was very easy to clean but with four 20" components it took up some counter space to dry. The quality is medium and will take special care not to damage but not cheap and flimsy, this is where the cost was excessive, for this much I expected a substantial build. each component will flex easily except the cooking plate, this is solid but has a very warning to not drop it.. I think I'm an idiot for spending this much, but every once in a while ??

I have had several griddles before and all of them heated unevenly burning food on one side. This type of uneven heating would damage the griddle surface in no time at all even when I kept the temperature lower. I have had Zojirushi EA-DCC10 for about a month or so and I have used it a lot. I've made pancakes that were evenly and perfectly brown. I have made chipotle chicken and stir-fried onions and peppers. I have made hamburgers and grilled peppers, and so much more. All of it has been perfect. The griddle heats very evenly and cooks beautifully. Cleaning is a breeze. Take the griddle off, wash it in warm water with soap and food cleans off easily with little to no scrubbing. The griddle sits on top of the heating element which sits inside a plastic base which keeps one from burning their hands. It also comes with a lid, which fits very loosely and is quite thin, but does help keeps the warmth in and around the food you are cooking. It sure beats laying aluminum foil over the food on the other griddles to keep splatter from going all over the place. This is a great product.

This griddle is perfect. The temperature is very even across the bottom. We made the best bacon ever today with a pound laid across it. Keep the temperature almost high to drive the water off, turn it down and cook the slices to lightly browned, crisp cards. For breakfast it cooked up a dozen eggs, leftover salmon filet, and scoops of wild rice into a nice scramble. The depth of the griddle works well for this. And it makes perfect pancakes. The design is smart. The griddle doesn't go in the dishwasher, but three pieces of the stack hand wash easily. And the fourth part of the stack, with the electric element, is well protected from splatter - so doesn't need to be washed.

This is absolutely the best griddle ever. For example, the surface is large enough to cook a meal of meat, potatoes and eggs for four all at the same time. It is super, super easy to clean. We read a review before we purchased about the odor or toxic fumes that came from it upon first use. This did not detour us. This looked just like the product we had been looking for, so when we unboxed it, we heated it up, made a batch of pancake mix that covered the entire surface, cooked it - and wallah - we were in business. We really didn't notice an odor, ha ha, we just wanted to cook the biggest pancake ever! It turned out absolutely perfect. It cooked evenly on every section of the surface. We didn't eat the pancake, we just used it to test surface temperature all around the pan, and to remove anything from the factory they might have added after manufacturing. Eggs are so non-stick, you have to have rapid speed to get that spatula under it without pushing it to the edge. I think we are going to purchase another one to put away in the pantry in case anything happens to this one, then we will have a spare. If we don't get to open it before we die, only two of my three kids will have a Zojirushi Gourmet Griddle:) Maybe I should buy two to put in the pantry! Anyway, this is such a fabulous product we also bought the Zojirushi EP-RAC50 Gourmet d'Expert 1350-Watt Electric Skillet. Now I am looking at their travel mugs! Just happy, happy, happy about Zojirushi!

It's very hard to find a good griddle. The usual problems are bad heat control, bad heat uniformity, or annoying to clean, or all of the above. This one is great to clean. The heat uniformity is very good. But the heat control is still only so-so. The temperature overshoots to 400+ degrees F when pre-heating it at 300. The instructions tell you to pre-heat it for 8 minutes, which might be enough time to get you past the overshoot, but it's pretty annoying to have the thing smoking and sizzling because of being 420 degrees when you just wanted it to heat to 300. Plus that's a long time to wait. Second, it's not designed for use at lower temperatures. The lowest temperature setting is 300, but I like to cook eggs at 250. You can set the dial lower than 300, but the temperature control isn't good and swings between 250 and 300 as the element kicks on and off. This is usable but not ideal. I had hoped some company would have cracked the code of an electric griddle that does the one thing you want an electric griddle to do...heat up correctly. It's still better than anything else I've found so I'm keeping it. I just can't give it all 5 stars because of the temperature control is still not quite there.

After extensive research, I decided to invest in the Zojirushi Gourmet Sizzler Electric Griddle, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. This griddle stands out as the best option on the market, and it exceeded my expectations upon arrival. The extra-large cooking surface provides ample space for preparing breakfast favorites like pancakes, bacon, and eggs, making it perfect for family gatherings or weekend brunches. The even heat distribution ensures consistent cooking results every time, and the adjustable temperature settings allow for precise control over the cooking process. What's more, the Zojirushi griddle's versatility extends beyond the kitchen – I'm excited to take it camping this summer for outdoor cooking adventures. Its durable construction and portable design make it the ideal companion for any outdoor excursion. Overall, I highly recommend the Zojirushi Gourmet Sizzler Electric Griddle to anyone in search of a high-quality, versatile cooking appliance. Whether you're whipping up breakfast at home or grilling on the go, this griddle delivers exceptional performance and reliability.

I bought this electric griddle after my third one (other brands) in 5 years broke on me. I hadn't been all that happy with the past ones (as the heat distribution was awful). I was "this" close to giving up on electric griddles entirely, but really liked that this Zojirushi griddle has an element that really covers the entire cooking area. So I figured it would be worth the higher cost. Turns out I was absolutely right - the griddle does have very good heat distribution (no more "musical chairs" with pancakes to keep them cooking evenly!) The griddle also has plenty of power - I haven't had to cook at a temperature beyond the pre-heat range yet (with other griddles, I sometimes doubted that they ever got up to temperature). You're supposed to pre-heat the griddle for 8 minutes, which makes a real difference to the heat distribution, as well - that's enough time to pre-heat while you mix up pancakes. I love that the griddle plate has high sides, which makes turning food much easier, and makes it possible to use the griddle for foods beyond pancakes. While the Zodoesn't have the grease drain like other electric griddles, you can make gravy or sauces while cooking your food. I also find I use less oil in this pan because it doesn't all drain away. The pieces are so easy to clean - everything comes apart, and you don't ever have to immerse the element part in water. The lid is is very useful for evenly cooking meat or thicker foods, as it traps the heat. Probably more energy efficient that way, too. The lid is a bit light - it would be very easy to bend it if you're not careful (don't put anything heavy on top of it) - and you have to be careful when lifting it because there's no central knob on top, and you have to lift from the ends. Make sure to lift the lid open AWAY from you to avoid getting steam in your face. (If I had any suggestions on product improvement, it would be to make the lid sturdier, add a handle on top for lifting, and put in a steam vent.) All told, I'm very happy with my Zojirushi griddle and would recommend it over any other griddle I've tried (and I've had at least 7-8 over the past 15 years).

I love this griddle! It cooks evenly - no more striped pancakes and sandwiches. Temperature is marked and easy to manage. Cooking surface is large - I can load it up to save time, another reason why even cooking temperature is so important. The cooking tray truly is non-stick and comes out of the electric base very easily for hassle-free washing in the sink. I was initially skeptical about purchasing this because I didn’t “know” the brand name, but after watching the video and reading about it I am glad I took the chance. BEST electric griddle I have ever used! ( in the last 3+ decades )

We absolutely loved this griddle. Far superior over the Teflon griddles we have had in the past. Nice even cooking. We have used the hell out of this griddle to the point where we are starting to notice some sticking. I understand you can get a replacement pan for these, however, in my searching, have found that all the replacement griddle pans are “sold out”. Not sure if that’s a ploy to buy a new unit, but not happy none are available and a new griddle has gone up quite a bit in cost since we bought ours. It is still useable but with sticking, it’s a bit tougher to clean. I would have given it 5 stars if not for this. It’s lasted 4 years.

it’s a really nice pan, worth the bang for your buck!
