Vast Cooking Area Over Two Burners!, March 21, 2005
This review is from: Calphalon Classic Nonstick 13-by-20-Inch Rectangular Griddle (Kitchen)
This is a delightful piece of cookware. The ability to span two burners allows for making enough pancakes to feed a family or to cook and keep warm at the same time! The heat is spread very evenly without any hot spots. There is absolutely no need for oil or butter (I use butter/olive oil for flavor!) as the nonstick works wonderfully. There are two corners that are "crimped" which allow for the easy pouring off of bacon/sausage grease without it running to the underside of the griddle (a really nice touch). There is a depression which runs all the way around the griddle and collects the grease of bacon or sausage.
It is very easy to clean but does require some special handling. First, never put this griddle in a dishwasher (I doubt it would fit). There will be significant discoloration of the anodized aluminum. Second, use only non metal utensils, the metal ones WILL SCRATCH the surface.
Overall, this griddle is as good as I have ever used (in my 40+ years of cooking). This griddle is a real pleasure to use .

This great product is indeed a Calphalon COMMERICAL NONSTICK, April 4, 2005
This review is from: Calphalon Classic Nonstick 13-by-20-Inch Rectangular Griddle (Kitchen)
Some doubts have been raised by some of the previous reviewers as to the particular Calphalon line that this piece is from. This was a big deal for me as well so I called Calphalon, provided the model number off of the box and was assured that this is indeed a Calphalon Commercial Nonstick product. Also, while the packaging materials do not use the word "Commercial" anywhere on the box, it is reassuring to note that the pan is in the typical green box that most "Collector's Edition" Calphalon COMMERCIAL nonstick pieces are packaged in.

The best griddle I've ever used, June 24, 2005
This review is from: Calphalon Classic Nonstick 13-by-20-Inch Rectangular Griddle (Kitchen)
I was hesitant to purchase this griddle after reading one reviewers thoughts about using it on a ceramic top stove, but went ahead because I had a gift certificate. And boy am I glad I did! This has become one of mine and my husband's favorite pieces.
First, the griddle is HUGE! It will not fit in the oven, but that's fine by me. We use this griddle for everything from bacon, eggs and pancakes on Sunday mornings to grilled cheese, hamburger, chicken, fish and more on weeknights. It's great to be able to make six or eight pancakes at a time! Now the whole family eats sooner!
The pan has great heft and the non-stick surface is great. There is a deep chamber all around that pulls fat away from your food. It's very easy to clean too!
The pan works just fine on a ceramic stove cooktop (the kind without raised burners). It heats evenly and stays put.
The only problem I have with this pan is that it is so large, I need bigger cabinets. I think I will just ask my husband for a larger house!
