Our new go to at home KBBQ cooker
Easy to use. Easy to clean. Great performance with the nonstick material and temperature control making cooking a breeze with the meat cooked to the person's liking and tasting great.Protip, cook on low to prevent overcooking and burning.Amazing value for such a generous nonstick cooking surface, and temperature control. Fed 4 adults easily.If you cook with any substantially sugary marinade, make sure to clean immediately to keep the nonstick surface pristine for the next time.

Presto knows how
Unlike many people I’ve never owned a griddle like this although I should have. As a foodie and a person who has kitchen appliances and gadgets everywhere (our family used to own a cookware store) this one seems so obvious. Suddenly I decided to do it, and as luck would have it there was a like new one for a substantial savings. I said why not. Here is what I learned.IS IT TOO LARGEIt’s hard to visualize what an electric griddle will look like on your countertop and I was concerned it would be way too big. But no, in reality part of what makes it just right is the shape, it’s more square than rectangular which is actually a much better shape for lining up 6 average size pancakes and having enough room to also so a half dozen eggs. Even if you don’t cook that large this thing is not really that big, there’s no fluff or excess, just two easy to grab stay cool handles if you need to move it away while it’s still warm. And there’s no fussy assembly, the legs simply fold out and click into position then back flat for storage. I absolutely like that the legs suspend the hot surface far above my countertop, unlike most other brands, so I can’t see how it would ever be possible to scorch even laminate counters.GREAT FEATURESThe cooking surface isn’t smooth Teflon like most griddles, it is a slightly pebbled ceramic top that makes it easy to flip pancakes, eggs, etc and it’s super easy to clean, you take the entire thing to your sink or dishwasher (minus the controller of course). And other than the controller there is no assembly required you just pop it in and out.THINGS TO IMPROVEI agree with those who say that the grease cup should have been made larger on this model than their smaller version, what were they thinking, of course a larger griddle will produce more grease to capture. I do not agree that the click in fit is a bad thing and that if you pull it out you’re likely to spill hot grease. I learned at age five not to play with a hot stove or the contents on it. Never pull a tray of hot grease out until it has cooled down. Which makes the tight fit a good thing so it doesn’t slide out on its own. I also agree with the idea of having some place to clip the probe into for storage, if it gets damaged you’re likelihood of finding another are pretty slim. And my own feeling are that something purposely designed to fold its legs so often probably should have been made out of cast aluminum not plastic. One peeve of mine is calling it foldable, when I first saw the ad I thought it folded in half for storage. It is an incorrect use of the word, the griddle does not fold, it tilts to let grease flow into the reservoir.COOKING WITH ITThere are so many opinions here but what really counts is what its like cooking on it. Before giving my opinion as an experienced cook here a note on something really important, or is it? That has to do with facts and myths about does the heating element cover the entire surface of the griddle. When cavemen cooked over an open fire did it heat their entire griddle evenly? When granny cooked breakfast over an old gas stove did hers? Is that something to even be concerned about. I think the misconception comes in by people talking about the shape and location of the heating grids. Fact – there is no electric kitchen griddle made in this price range in which the entire top is a heating element. All of them use a probe (which is the only thing that heats up, the elements under the griddle are NOT electrified). That probe distributes heat from its tip through the elements under the surface which in turn heat up the entire surface. Showing off with a fancy infrared heat imaging camera “proving” that the elements are hotter than the main surface only prove that the elements are what are getting hot from transferring from the tip of the probe. Given time to heat up the entire top surface of any griddle is cookable and if you pour pancake batter on one area and it’s not ready to cook yet only means you haven’t given it enough time for the heat to spread, it takes time on any griddle, even back in prehistoric times.CLEANING UPAfter it cools you grab the handles and walk it over to your sink or dishwasher. What could be easier.YES NO MAYBEUnless you want spend several hundred dollars for a commercial griddle most of the ones you will find in this range are made of the cheapest plastic. My first impression of this one is that this is the way Presto used to make cookware back in my grandmother’s day. It is definitely heavy and well made and you get what you pay for. After reading all of the stories from customers who were dissatisfied with other brands for one reason or another I chose Presto and there absolutely is a difference in quality.

A very nice electric griddle but some important considerations
We just ripped out our countertops and needed a temporary cooking solution. This is a very nice griddle and it was a best buy winner in one article so that's why we got it.Pros1. It heats evenly and quickly2. The nonstick surface is excellent3. The dimensions are deeper and less wide than many, which is a good thing because it's better suited to a countertop that way4. The folding legs are performing as advertised. Unlike other reviewers, we do not have a problem with stabilityCons1. There are some sharp edges where the grill surface curves up around the edge of the cooking space2. The knob is very poorly placed. You have to reach over the hot cooking surface to adjust the heat or turn it off. This is really a big design flaw and I'm surprised they didn't figure out this was a bit dangerous during product testing3. The grease tray does not lock into place. Another reviewer mentioned this and I dismissed it because she was the only one. But indeed, she was absolutely right. What happened to her is she was carrying it to another spot and the tray fell out and broke. I was doing the same thing. Fortunately, my tray didn't break and there was no grease in it, but that would have been a nightmare.I like it. We're keeping the item and those caveats in mind.

Legs fold too easily and slip
I like how the legs fold up for storing and can extend the back ones to tilt the grill to drain the grease. However, the legs are flimsy and although they latch for storing, they do not latch for cooking. The feet are very slippery and the whole grill slides all over the counter. The grease tray slides in but slides out too easily. It fell out just dropping a burger on the grill and hot grease went all over floor, cabinets, and me (see thermal photo of splashes on me). The plastic grease tray broke and I had to glue it back together. I bent the metal tabs in and it holds better but I don't trust it.Below 300 degrees F, the grill seems to be evenly heated within 5-10 degrees (see color thermal image. But over 350, there is about 35-40 degree hot ring where elements are (see black hot thermal image).Another great feature is that the entire grill is submersible for cleaning when the controller is unplugged from grill. It would me nice if that controller could be stored in folded up grill.All in all, I like it for the price but I'm looking for a way to keep the grill from sliding all over. Silicon mats and alien tape don't work.

I like it
First let me give the caveat, this is a low end budget griddle with a single loop element.I am really liking this Presto grill. The two outstanding features are the size and the nonstick surface. The cooking surface is big enough that we can now eat our pancakes at the same time instead of taking turns. The heat is uneven as you should expect but knowing this you can move food as it cooks and still get an even cook. The surface cleans very easily, even the stuck sugar that is in most of our food now, will come right off with a wet paper towel and a little heat. It will be interesting to see if the nonstick lasts, my last griddle was sticking badly after only about three months of use.

Fantastic electric giddle
I love the large size of this griddle. I had a smaller one that broke and you can fit so much more on this one. I heat also quite good although there are some hot and cold spots (its kind of inevitable with this electric griddles). the folding legs are nice for storage as well. Another pro is the recessed plug. I found this made washing easier.

Good quality griddle that stores well
I bought this well built griddle after doing a lot of research and am quite happy with it. There are some cool and hot spots, but within reason. Great for large breakfasts.I do have two complaints. The first is that the grease trap and grease trap tray is not built to prevent the grease tray from inadvertently falling out. This happened when I first tried to use the griddle, resulting in the trap hitting the floor. The griddle has a tilt option. The grease tray must be removed before tilting the griddle and put on the counter.The second complaint is about the brittleness of the grease tray. The back corners of the tray broke off. The first one the first time I tried to set up the griddle. The other corner soon after in a similar incident.I will say that this griddle is far better than any other I've used, despite my complaints.
