Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Perfect for a family brunch, this 20-by-13-inch double griddle cooks plenty of bacon and eggs, pancakes, and hash browns at one time. It's also useful for grilling up lots of burgers, fish fillets, or steaks. The griddle fits over two burners and, thanks to its heavy-gauge aluminum construction, distributes heat evenly and quickly. The hard-anodized, matte-finish, gray exterior is harder than steel, extraordinarily durable, and won't chip, crack, or peel. Calphalon's Commercial Nonstick cookware is coated with a multilayered nonstick material. (For long life, use only plastic, nylon, and wood utensils.) The riveted, cast-stainless-steel, oven-safe handles resist heat on the stovetop and stand up high for an easy grip. The griddle should be hand washed with mild detergent and scoured with a plastic or nylon scrubber. It carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars Calphalon truly hits a culinary home run., February 9, 2003

This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 13-by-20-Inch Double Griddle (Kitchen)

I have owned a cabinet full of calphalon for the past 18 years. Recently purchased a full set of their non-stick pots, and received this griddle as a bonus.

The griddle is far and away the most useful and valuable of the items I now own. It pretty much does everything but clean up the grease by itself. Whatever you cook receives even heat. Excess fats drain off to the sides, and corner pour spouts allow for easy disposal.

Best of all, clean up is a dream. Its the only pot in the house that doesn't make me cringe as I set to cleaning it. Also on the plus side, calphalon really does stand by their products. Over these many years of owning and heavily using their products,I have had to send back (for legitimate reasons) 2 anodized pots. They were replaced without any difficulties.

Well, gotta go eat some perfectly cooked bacon.

5.0 out of 5 stars So Great, You'll Want Two!, March 1, 2003

This review is from: Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 13-by-20-Inch Double Griddle (Kitchen)

I got a great buy on this through Amazon's "Gold Box" offer, but this is a great buy at any price, so I'm buying a second one!
I have a big family and we are always entertaining, so quality equipment that makes a big job easier is always a welcome relief. This griddle sits perfectly across two burners to heat quickly and evenly. It has convenient handles that sit up high enough to pass gloved hands through, which is good because they can get hot.
The higher sides (higher than all other griddles I have used) make it easy to "grab" food without accidently scooting it off the side of the griddle and they also make it SO much easier to pour off grease without spilling.
As pointed out in the other recommendation, clean up could not be easier, and THAT saves time better spent with family and friends.
Large family or small, you won't be sorry to bought this.

I purchased this non-stick griddle with hesitation. The other 15 pieces in my calphalon collection are commercial hard anodized as I prefer the browning ability of that line and I don't particulary care for having to baby my cookware surfaces.

This non-stick variety is easier to clean however, and considering that i'll primarily be using it for the usual breakfast fare and the ocassional sandwich I decided to give it a try.

I prepared bacon and eggs on it and was satisfied with the results as the food browned nicely and tasted great. I really appreciated the fact that I was able to cook everything at once without creating a sinkful of dirty pans and cleanup was close to effortless.

Something I frowned on however, was the tendency of eggs to slide towards the grease channel while frying. Hopefully, this won't be an issue with pancakes. The jury is still out as to how well it browns bread for sandwiches or hashbrowns but I anticipate it will perform well here also.

I store my griddle upside down resting on the sturdy handles to protect the non-stick surface from scratches.
