Hamilton Beach Professional Cast Iron Indoor Electric Grill & Griddle, 10" x 16" Preseasoned Cooking Surface, Adjustable Temperature up to 450° F, Black (38560)

This stays on my counter! I use this daily! If I need to put it away I have a designated spot for it. But it’s my daily go to appliance ! I wish I had bought it years ago!The fact that it’s cast iron is an amazing product! Especially if you have a glass top stove….which I dislike.The size is just right for cooking bacon, steaks, hamburgers , grilled sandwiches ,tacos, grilled veggies,pancakes etc.If you’re like me and prep cook for fast meals this is a great appliance for getting things done in bulk. It’s worth the money spent! The base is a dark silver color looks nice along with stainless steel and black decor .It’s easy to keep clean if you know the basics of upkeep on the using a standard griddle or cast iron pots and pans.I suggest other items to buy for upkeep and easy use.1. Buy a 2 sided spatter screen.(And a large and tall one as it makes clean up minimal.The splatter screens wipe clean easily with soap. I suggest that you use as hot water water as possible to rinse.)2. Buy yourself a griddle accessories kit , Amazon has an 18 piece set ,stainless steel set. I think for $26.79 prime right now . The nice part of that it has everything you need.3. I bought a wood cutting board to keep under the griddle.4. I bought a wood cutting board to fit my glass top stove if I’m cooking things that tend to smoke . So the smell/ smoke goes directly up to the exhaust fan.The cons:The griddle is HEAVY, be sure you wait till it has cooled down before trying to pick it up to wash.Suggestion: take the time to scrape off cooked on pieces before the griddle cools down completely,it makes it easier to clean.If you have double sinks in your kitchen , washing the griddle may not be easy to wash as its heavy... I have a single tub sink and it’s a breeze to wash.Last suggestion: measure your space even though it’s as wide as a toaster oven, the splatter goes beyond that space. I have 2 sets of splatter screens for that reason.Hope this helps.

Love this griddle! Heavy, well made cast iron. Heats as evenly as any griddle. With a bit of oil, food doesn't stick! Functions much better than non-stick pans & griddles!

This griddle is fantastic! The surface is pre-seasoned and definitively non stick. Heats evenly and quickly. Made grilled cheese and the sandwiches were evenly cooked and crispy. Cleans up easily with a damp cloth. Replaced my old ceramic griddle. Well worth the money for a non stick cast iron cooking griddle. With some usual care of cast iron this should last a long time. Buy it!

I was in search of an affordable but stylish countertop grill, and this one fit the bill.Upon plugging in for the first time I cranked up the heat and then seasoned it, let it burn off and repeated the step to ensure a nice non stick coating. The problem with new cast iron is that you have to scrape off food and re oil the surface after each food item you cook or else food sticks and smokes. This product will smoke food so be sure to use in a ventilated area, smoke alarm went off 4 times lol. Grease trap was sizeable so I didn't have to change it out for the entirely that I cooked. This product could use side guards though to catch grease droplets.Great product, how ever it's not for me personally. If you're considering this one it's a solid contender in the kitchen, however do your research on cast iron before purchasing.

Great cast iron electrical grill. I find it much more practical to use than throwing a cast iron grill on a gas stovetop. Seems to heat up faster andmore evenly. That said, the left side gets warmer than the right side.. probably makes better contact w/ the heating elements. I use a thermal thermometer so it's not an issue for me anyway, I keep a close eye on the actual surface temperature. Works great for bacon, hot dogs, pancakes, etc. Fried eggs work well too.. scrambled, well they get everywhere. really like it, and again, no non-stick nonsense here. Just season/cure the cast iron properly and it will last a long time. (i.e. read the instructions so you know how to properly care for cast iron)

Very high quality -- very even heating and high-end cast iron. Love that cast iron top comes off for super easy cleaning. And a great product for a great price!

Absolutely love this cast iron griddle. Heavy duty (emphasis on heavy!!) and easy to regulate temperature across the entrie griddle. Cleaning isn't too bad if you remember it's cast iron. The drip tray is huge.

Doesn’t work!!!! Half the plate doesn’t heat up!
