Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This electric griddle provides an extra area for cooking when the stove is full, and it is easily transported to big gatherings. Measuring 20-1/2 by 10-1/2 inches, this large-capacity griddle cooks for a crowd and can fit eight pancakes, grilled cheese sandwiches, or hamburgers at a time. The aluminum griddle has a nonstick cooking surface for easy cleanup and is also fully immersible and dishwasher-safe. A grease channel sends bacon grease and other meat juices into a tray at one end of the griddle that slides out for disposal. The other end of the griddle features a backstop that makes it easy to scoop up and flip pancakes and burgers. The electrical element features an easy-to-read adjustable temperature control to ensure perfect cooking every time. The control also has a Warm setting to keep pancakes and eggs warm for latecomers to the breakfast table. Heat-resistant handles make the griddle useful for tabletop serving and keep counter surfaces from getting damaged when serving right from the surface. This cookware is covered by a 90-day warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Heat Distribution, February 9, 2008

This review is from: West Bend 76220 20 by 10 Inch Griddle (Kitchen)

Our previous non-stick giddle was nearly identical in shape, size, and contruction. (I can't recall the manufacturer -Presto?) The old griddle was die cast aluminum with the "heat tape" pressed into a serpentine channel cast into the underside.
The underside appearance of this new West Bend griddle is the same but the serpentine "heat tape" is fully encapsulated in the aluminum... probably inserted into the die cast tool prior to injection of the aluminum.
I suspect this is why the West Bend griddle has superior heat distribution.
Probably like many dads, I use the griddle for pancakes every Sunday morning. My wife uses it throughout the week. We both agree that to date, this is the best griddle we've owned.

UPDATE: It's now 20 months later and the griddle is wore out. The surface is fine, but the electrical plug/receptacle is no longer usable. The three-fingered contacts on the plug/receptacle are very corroded (I always use the griddle at 375°F). The contacts get very warm during operation and have begun to melt the nearby plastic resulting in a terrible smell during use (not very appetizing). The contacts also spark and crackle during operation. Considering today's price and an estimated usage of 1-1/2 times per week, I guess the cost is only about $0.50 per use...so I'm going to order another one, but I'm not happy about the short life of the contacts. Are you listening West Bend?

4.0 out of 5 stars A great replacement for frying pans, October 31, 2004

I wanted a griddle because the surface area and shape of frying pans prevent me from cooking as much food at one time as I would like. I also don't like that most frying pans and stove burners don't match up to make a level cooking surface. This griddle solves both very well. It is perfectly flat, allowing the butter or oil to stay where you want it. It is huge, holding 8 slices of French Toast at once and cooking them all evenly.

I have nothing but possitive things to say about this griddle. It is exactly what I hoped for. The only reason why I only gave 4 stars instead of five is that it would have been nice if it came with a cover. None of them do, but that coupled with the fact that I got it for $10 cheaper then Amazon, on sale at Dillards, earns it 4 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but..., July 10, 2006

The plug dial you use to adjust the temperature broke on us after only about 6 months. We re-glued it and it lasted for a while, but just broke again. You can get a replacement part from the West bend Website for ~$9, but it isn't a very well made dial, other than that, it is great. It is pretty uniform in temperature and very big, both very important things.
