Presto 07061 22-Inch Electric Griddle with Removable Handles, Extra-Large Nonstick Ceramic Surface, Black

This griddle is outstanding. It’s got a super durable surface that works just as well for grilling meat as it does for pancakes. So far it cleans so easily, is nonstick and I love being able to take the legs off for cleaning. The heating element works well, but because it circles the outside of the unit i do notice the middle doesn’t get as hot. This isn’t a problem for me since the griddle is very large and I can cook the same amount of things on the hearing element as I did my last one and still have plenty of room to move things around and switch up the direct heat. I highly recommend this griddle (I have been using it for a few months) if anything changes I will update the review.

Excellent product! I bought this 22” griddle because my 5 grandchildren popped up on me. I made several pancakes for them in about 20 minutes at 8 at a time. The pancakes cooked evenly. I did however use a laser temperature gauge so that helped a lot as well not to burn or undercook them. The nonstick worked well also. It was easy to add and remove the handles. It washed extremely well and looks like new after use. Storage was nice as well. I slid it in the cabinet right next to the cutting boards. I didn’t find the texture of the griddle to be a problem at all with the pancakes as I read others did. Worth the money.

So far, so good! Did my research, this was the top contender! I love it! Great size for a family. I made blueberry pancakes, no oil, slid right off, came out perfect! Easy clean up too, couldn’t be any simpler to use or clean. I will get so much use from this griddle and save a lot of time in the process, which is my goal. Why did I wait so long to purchase? I was mainly worried about even heat distribution. This exceeded my expectations as every pancake was cooked evenly. I’m more than pleased! And look, 12 bun size sausage patties cooked at once! This would make a great gift for anyone who does much cooking! Trust me when I tell you I am very happy with this product!

I had a few things I was looking for in a grill. - VERY nonstick - easy to clean - steady temperature - low sides - even heat distribution* (This is the problem) I was wary of the nonstick issue with this griddle. The textured surface concerned me. I bought it anyway, because of the questions and reviews. Other reviewers said it would be fine and they were right! ZERO sticking. I did eggs with no oil or butter this morning and they were perfect Low sides - I needed these griddles to make crepes. A LOT of crepes. After the batter is poured, I use an offset spatula to spread them out. I'd been having serious issues with this when using my stove and the first (bad) griddle I tried. Well, these handles are super low. I didn't even bump into one while cooking my super-sized test batch. "Easy to clean." This was a place where I thought I'd be forced to compromise. I'm happy to report that I was wrong. The handles pop right off. All you have to do is press two springs and away they go. Without the handles and the wire, it's nothing to take it to the sink for a quick wipe down. This is where the nonstick surface really shines. There's barely anything to wipe off. Steady temperature. This was the reason I was forced to try a new griddle in the first place. With my gas stove, I felt like I was spinning plates. I kept having to tweak each burner the entire time I was cooking. I needed to be able to set it and forget it. The only minor bump with this is that, toward the end, both of my griddles did start to overheat. It wasn't major and I just had to drop the temp by about five degrees. Back in business in less than 30 seconds. Heat distribution. This is where Presto lost a star. One griddle has near perfect even cooking all the way across. It really is remarkable. But the second griddle has a serious cold spot in the middle. I was able to work with it (it's still SO much better than what I was using), but it is annoying. I'd live with it, but the other griddle is so perfect that I do believe that this one is defective. I'm going to make one more test batch tomorrow to pay attention to that particular issue. If it's obvious enough, I'll return this one and get another. And yes, I *absolutely* will get another. These are the best griddles I've ever had in my LIFE and right now I'm a loyal fangirl. It normally takes me about 40-45 minutes to make a batch of crepes (that's with four burners going or two of the griddles I just gave away), but last night I made a double batch in 26 minutes, start to finish. Cleanup of the griddles took me ONE MINUTE If they last and continue to perform like they did, I'll be giving these away as presents.

Who knew a griddle could be sleek and sexy as well as cook your pancakes and bacon. This griddle is easy to clean. Heats up quick and evenly. The drip tray works great. We use it for french toast and tacos. Highly recommend!

I had the Presto 07039 22-Inch Electric Griddle for 5 years, but the nonstick surface was starting to wear off from frequent use, so I was in the market for a replacement. Having had a Presto already, I knew it did a decent job of cooking evenly, had a good nonstick surface, and was affordably priced. I was hoping to find one that would be a little easier to clean, and debated between a couple of dishwasher-safe options, but settled on the Presto 07061 22-inch Electric Griddle with Removable Handles for its removable handles. The problem with all the dishwasher-safe options is that they were big and bulky - by design since the heating element had to be separate from the cooking surface. I am please to report that I am happy with my choice. The large 22" cooking surface has excellent nonstick properties; I prefer it over my previous Presto griddle which didn't have the same texture. I made an egg (with no oil) and the non-stick was so good that the edges of the egg actually curled up and away from the surface on their own. No sticking whatsoever. I was a bit worried that the handles might be loose, making the griddle wiggly, but I'm happy to report that is not the case. In fact, I can't tell that they are removable handles at all when moving the griddle around. It's very solid, with nice little rubber grippies on the bottom of the legs - something my previous Presto did not have. And the handles are very simple to remove. Each of the four legs has a tight spring latch that secures the handles in place. You can easily remove the handles in seconds and store the cooking surface in the same cupboard as your pizza pans! The shape of the cooking surface is also more convenient to clean than my last Presto. This one is flat, with an opening in the rim where the grease tray resides. You can wipe the surface straight off the edge of the griddle into the grease tray or a sink/garbage. My previous Presto just had a small hole that grease was supposed to drain through, and you had to wipe any larger pieces up and over the rim. Also, the grease tray on this model has two small catches that prevent it from sliding open too easily. My last Presto had no such mechanism, and the tray actually slid out while I was in the process of moving it and broke when it hit the floor. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. I'm sure there are other great griddle options out there with more bells and whistles, but this one does the job and is both affordable and convenient.

I may revise this review after I make my first stack of pancakes. I was very skeptical on purchasing at $70 electric griddle. The price is pretty high and I was even more skeptical when I felt the cooking surface. It's finely grated or bumpy surface. I just cooked a 16oz. package of bacon, to perfection. It was amazing. Everything was cooked evenly and the drip pan easily held the bacon grease. I like that the surface was so inclined that there was a perfect amount of bacon grease cooking the bacon and a amount going into the drip tray. This means that eggs won't slide into the drip tray as some of the ones in the past. Thus far excellent griddle. I recommend buying a few splatter guards and watch for kids and pets to ensure the unit fully cools down. It takes a while for that to happen but that is a good sign as the plate retains the cooking temperature. Please note the instructions recommend not using any cooking spray. The handles detaching is a nice feature.

We lived this griddle so much we bought a 2nd one. Heats fast, easy set up and cleans quick. Would recommend it.

Atendeu as expectativas.

Very good!

Me gustó mucho por que no se le pega la comida. El queso derretido se despega fácilmente. Tiene buen tamaño, alcanza buena temperatura y la puedes regular.

Going from one pancake at a time to 7 pancakes has made feeding my family with two teens sooooo much easier. The non stick surface is a bit tricky to get used to but once you figure it out it is amazing. I have used this every weekend since it came in. It heats up evenly and quickly and cleans really easily.

Better temp distribution compared to previous black and decker griddle. Easy clean and non stick surface…cooking fried eggs is a breeze!
