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 ??

The best griddle I have ever bought, just wipe clean, no sticking, no mess, comes with a long cord. Good size to make 6 French toast and eggs at the same time. Eggs don’t even stick, use cooking oil or spray. Absolutely amazing griddle. I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars!! I highly recommend this item!!

***UPDATE*** Im leaving my reviews at 5 stars because I love this product, but I cannot recommend buying it through this seller. They are not an authorized dealer so the manufacturer won’t honor their warranty. *** No, it's not just a griddle, how dare you! It's a work or art! Okay, it's just a griddle, but it a REALLY good griddle and I've been looking around for a long time. Bought and returned a few (sorry Amazon), but I finally bit the bullet and spent more than I would have ever thought. but it was totally worth it. Some of the things that make this so great... The burner isn't attached to the cooking surface so it heats the air underneath and that creates a very even cooking surface. How about pancakes that look like pancakes and not rorschach tests, but rather golden brown? Clean up. Clean up is another amazing feature because it comes apart completely. The base, burner, cook surface all come apart allowing you to use soap and water and not just wipe things down. One note! The base is hollow, so you can clean it but be careful because if you run water directly on it, you will get water taped inside. Learned the hard way and had to take it apart to dry. The lid. I was standing over an entire pack of bacon snapping grease spits of death when I remembered, duh, a lid. No moe burns. The cord. Ever notice that your griddle either forces you to use an extension cord or somehow have a custom griddle spot on your counter with an outlet 1 foot from the griddle? This comes with a nice long cord that actually lock in and when it's locked it also locks in the cooking surface. My last griddle, on the first use I wasn't thinking and used a metal spatula. Big scratch, right out the gate. This COMES with a metal spatula. It's not a delicate non-stick surface. It's heavy duty. Flip and smash those burgers! I had family over and I was working the line like a pro, cooking for 6, 3 cakes at a time then into the oven to stay warm. Bacon on one side. Hash on the other (little bacon grease seeps into the hash, gotta love it). I t was actually fun to cook for 6 people. As you can see I've completely geeked out over this. I love cooking and I love when I get an kitchen item that really improves the experience. Air Fryer. Instant Pot. A griddle that can actually handle restaurant style cooking. You're in the hall of fame. Stop looking. Spend the extra.

I bought this a few years ago. I really wasn't expecting this grill to still be perfect. Most grills just stop working. But, this specific grill is my go to cooker. I cook EVERYTHING on it. I cook ribs, chicken, spaghetti (yes spaghetti by just adding water and salt just enough to cover the spaghetti in water) and it comes out like a restaurant meal !! I even cook rice in it with peppers, onions and stuffed olives. Yummy !! Here is a trick I do to cook in this. I remove the actual grill part. Then I insert the electric connection by lowering a button that clamps it in. Then I put regular cooking pots on top of the hot grill area and it serves as a regular stove as well. Do not do that using ceramic pots. Use aluminum or iron pots. I only do that when cooking eggs or soups or rice. But when cooking stuff like meats I leave the original grill part in and cook anything in a couple of hours. It gets hot right away. So this is the real deal. I always cook at 350 degrees and NOT any hotter to not trip the electric circuit in the house. That temperature is perfect to cook anything all the time. The top non stick layers does wear off quickly but I don't care because washing it is so simple by just pouring water in the grill area and letting it heat up to a quick boil. Then I just pour the water out and wipe it down. I don't use any soap in it. Even with grease leftovers the hot water detaches the oil from the grill within a few minutes of it boiling. If the food is somehow stuck on the pot too much then pour water into the grill and let it sit over night with the lid on it with the grill off. The next morning all the food parts come right out. I have had NO problems using this grill for the last two years. Not more to say than that. Yeah, this is the one to buy !! Five year update on this grill: I bought this grill on June 2020. This update is now on June 2025. I still love my grill and I'm still using it daily to cook all my lunch and dinner meals. The heating floor still works perfectly and the rest of the grill parts have not broken or teared. Yes I still love my grill. It is definitely wide enough. It is about 13 inches long and 10 inches wide for pots other than the actual grill (those are the measurements inside the actual cooking surface. The outer parts including the handles and outer grill holder areas are longer and wider. Get it.

Heat distribution is the key element for griddles; the cheap (and there are many available) often fail miserably - hot and cold spots galore. The Zojirushi rises to the top of its class in heat uniformity. Noteworthy design engineering. High price is the downside. If longevity proves worthy, cost becomes a very good value. Only time will tell. Zojirushi is generally noted as building above average products (and priced accordingly). I remain optimistic that this griddle becomes a good value when judged by long-term use. Placed in context that I've gone through several others in the past decade; all were eventually tossed out. Bulk is noticeable with this griddle, somewhat offset by its design-purpose to also function as a dining table heating/serving tray (the lid provides use as a heat cover if used on the dining table... a location I doubt very many people will apply. Bulk size and storage of the griddle are aspects that do not pair well, worsened by the roundness of the cover; if it were - flat - functionality would be enhanced, able to place objects on top. Unlike most griddles the Zojirushi's cooking surface is sunken into its surround by more than an inch - the extra depth somewhat constrains ease of use with a spatula (for flipping pancakes as an example). Akin to having a "guard rail" around the working surface. A touch awkward is a fitting description. Electrical module that plugs into the griddle's end is exceptionally well designed and built, a quality item in every respect - not cheap and flimsy as is used on almost all other griddles. Plus it even locks in place! Non-stick surface is likewise exeptional in terms of releasing cooked items. Zojirushi advises to NOT use any release-sprays, all sprays or coatings that eventually end up clogging the surface, uncleanable brown patches causing food to stick. Zojirushi is correct. Despite a somewhat glowing user-report, the 4-Star rating is applied because one inhernet flaw: the heating surface's screen-like texture imparted onto food being cooked. Subtle but Ugly. Pancakes a perfect example - the imparted texture seriously detracts from the food itself; yes, it has nothing to do with taste... but, "we eat with our eyes" remains an inescapable fact.

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.

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 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!
