Presto 07046 Griddle Cool Touch Electric Review

We have had the same standard size pan for over 10 years and it broke on a camping trip last year. We decided to spend a little more for a larger skillet that could have cooked more for our extended family and are so glad we did! It can cook a lot more food than the standard skillet you see everywhere. BONUS: This pan has sides that pull out to take the pan out at a slight angle, allowing all the fat to drip easily into the pan where, like our last pan that lay flat, we always use our spatula…

We love these saucepans for our family of 6. You can fry eggs for the whole family, a whole bag of bacon, or 9-12 pancakes at a time. We're on our 3rd big pan. The only complaint I would have is that it's so big it's a little difficult to clean. However, if you clean it right after using it, it will wear out almost immediately. Plastic handles can crack if you drop them, and this happened on our last two large pans. Warning, the butter dish only has enough fat for one pack of bacon, so if…

If you have more than 2 kids you MUST buy this larger pan. This is fantastic! I've never been able to bake so many pancakes, bacon and eggs so quickly in my life. In fact, I've smacked all the hungry mouths! The heat distribution is excellent - a topic that interested me before the purchase. The tilt and drain function works perfectly and great! I can't believe how magical it worked. Admittedly, when I first saw bacon grease dripping out of that narrow pipe, I had an inner panic attack. "How…

The only thing that isn't perfect is the heat distribution. We noticed that it's a little less hot in the middle. Although we don't mind. It is big. So you can cook all the necessary pancakes in 1-2 calls. We love it because our griddler lasted forever. However, it is large so you need a place to store it. Cleaning is easy. We only use it for pancakes and french toast - no bacon or eggs yet - so of course those things are easier to clean. We do not use drip irrigation. Some people have…

I've waited a while to write a review because I wanted to give an honest review. I love cooking in this pan! I have issues with uneven cooking, but it really didn't make a noticeable difference when cooking anything other than pancakes, tortillas, or flat dishes. You can clearly see the traces of the heating strips from the pan, pancakes, tortillas or anything else that is cooked in the pan. This only causes problems with homemade pancakes, because some of them will burn (depending on where…

Don't want to constantly wash/clean/season your beautiful pans? Ever felt like your $80 cast iron set was being unnecessarily used to make eggs and pancakes instead of sauces and steaks? Have you ever looked down at your 6-10 inch frying pan, stared at your nearly full sink and thought "uhhhh" to yourself? THEN LOOK NO FURTHER. Just get the bad boy out, slam him on the counter and start cooking. Heats up quickly, does not burn with oil, easy to clean. And there is plenty of space. When I make…

I first bought this model a few years ago. It was used regularly and quite heavily. Although it's dishwasher safe, we weren't able to fit it in our dishwasher, it depends on the dishwasher model. But it's still very easy to hand wash because you don't have to worry about the contacts getting wet while washing. After several years, including moving, it finally had to be replaced. It still worked well, but due to storage issues and rough handling, the legs and outer plastic case had chipped and…

This is a fairly inexpensive device and the value for money is quite good. I'm happy with the purchase but there are definitely some issues you might want to know which is why I deducted a star. I've been using it for over six months now so I have a pretty good sense of what it does and doesn't do at the moment. Overall: This is a simple and mostly well-designed pan. It does what it is supposed to do, namely heat and cook. It has a nice large surface area, heats up fairly quickly, and is easy…
