| |  | Kitchen & Housewares Presto 07046 Tilt 'n Drain Big Griddle Cool-Touch Electric Griddle |  | | | | | | | | | | Rating:  - Big yes, but poor design
The Good:
1)Large cooking surface
2)non-stick surface works well and has held up to >1 year of use.
The Bad:
1)Uneven heating - impossible to cook pancakes evenly, but can get somewhat reasonable results moving things around while cooking.
2)Drip pan too small to store the thermostat so you have to find some place to put it where it won't get lost or fall on your head while you are taking the griddle off the shelf (don't store on top of unit ;-).Every other griddle I've owned and seen has this capability and I really miss it on this one(I actually find this more annoying then the uneven heat).
Rating:  - Great Giant Griddle
This giant griddle is going to help this Nana to sit down to breakfast with the little grandchildren when they come to visit.I took the advice of other reviewers and let it heat up for 10 minutes.The heating element is located around the outside (engineering design flaw) and so there can be cool spots in the center if you don't get it really hot.I am tickled pink with this product!!!
Rating:  - Cooks pancakes unevenly
Though this BigGriddle is a simple design, it cooks pancakes unevenly. This is because the heating coil wraps around underneath the thin aluminum griddle just one circumference for such a large surface area. Pancakes cook unevenly, ending up looking light and dark on both sides.
Also, the power cord is very short.
Presto really skimped on the design and materials to maximize profit motive. What else is new...
Save your money. You'll see these at garage sales soon.
Rating: - Great Griddle
This griddle is great.It heats the pancakes easily and most importantly, I am able to make more that 2 pancakes at a time, so my whole family can sit down to breakfast together.I have made 6 large pancakes and still had room on the griddle for more batter if I wanted it.You can see he lines from the heating element on the pancakes, but it does not affect the taste of the pancakes, just the look.You also have to adjust the temp to your tatses.If you like your pancakes darker, you need to use the higher setting suggested.I did notice though that when I turned on the griddle to heat up, but did not cook the pancakes as soon as it was ready, the pancakes seemed darker (not quite burnt) and cooked too fast.Subsequent batches of pancakes come out as good as the first batch.
Rating: - Good cooking area, uneven heat.
Grill leaves lines across the pancakes, and doesn't seem to disperse the heat as evenly as I would hope. It is nice for larger cooking area, and immersible grill.
