5.0 out of 5 stars Good for ceramic cooktop with bridge burner, November 7, 2007

By 

Careful shopper (Concord, MA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: KitchenAid Hard-Base Porcelain Aluminum Nonstick 18-by-10-Inch Two-Burner Griddle, Red (Kitchen)

I looked long and hard for a double griddle for my new GE ceramic cooktop range with a bridge burner. This one works great for pancakes. It's really well made, perfectly flat on the bottom and easy to clean up. The 10 X 18 size is the largest compatible with my 8" diameter burners.

The packaging doesn't indicate that it is ceramic cooktop compatible, so I called Kitchenaid support. At first I was told it is not compatible and the porcelain bottom might accidentally fuse to the cooktop. I was frustrated because the other double griddles I had bought were too big or not perfectly flat on the bottom even when they looked flat. I tested for flatness by placing the griddle on the cooktop and alternately pushing on opposite corners with my fingers. This one had no wobble. I called GE trying to figure out which of the flaws was the least problem. Porcelain is okay as long as you don't leave it on a hot burner with nothing in the pan. Too large a pan has the greatest risk of cracking and damaging the cooktop. I really wanted to keep the Kitchenaid griddle and called Kitchenaid support again. This time I was told this griddle is okay on ceramic tops AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A BRIDGE BURNER!

I kept this griddle and have used it for pancakes, french toast and sausages. I love it. I use it at a heat setting of 6 out of 10 or lower ( 4 to 5 is better for pancakes and French toast.). It browns evenly and is easy to clean up. I will not use it at high temperatures or for steaks or hamburgers because of the concern of getting the porcelain coating too hot. I wait for it to completely cool before washing to prevent it from warping. If only Kitchenaid made one that is hard-anodized aluminum on the bottom, then I could be sure it is safe for high heat, too.

This review is from: KitchenAid Hard-Base Porcelain Aluminum Nonstick 18-by-10-Inch Two-Burner Griddle, Red (Kitchen)

The KitchenAid Griddle stays flat when the burners are at different heat settings. The silicone handles stay cool even when using a high heat setting. The non-stick surface is not as easy-release during clean up as some I have had, perhaps that's a trade off for longevity. Cooking release is very good: I often cook eggs dry with little problem turning them.

I was considering the much more expensive models but I am happy with this KitchenAid Griddle.

I love, love, love this griddle. I wish I had time to use it more. Cooks pancakes beautifully and I imagine eggs, bacon, etc just as well. The red looks so nice in my kitchen and the handles with the soft, rubber make it easy to hold, pic up, use, etc. Easy, quick clean up, and it's storable, yet very hefty in it's weight so you know it's quality. DEFINATELY RECOMMENDED!
