AI picks by need
For most even heat, heavy duty
Broil King Professional Griddle PCG-10
Its heavy cast plate holds an even temperature across the surface.
Not for: People who want a lightweight griddle that is easy to store.
What the AI looks for in Electric Griddles
- Surface size
- About 20 inches or more for families. Check that it fits the space you have for storage. Cooking pancakes in batches defeats the purpose of a griddle.
- Heat evenness
- The element should cover the plate area, without a cold perimeter. Uneven griddles brown the centre and leave the edges pale.
- Removable control
- A detachable temperature probe makes the plate immersible or dishwasher-safe. Cleanup is far easier when the whole plate can be washed.
- Grease management
- Look for a drip tray or channel, and ideally a backsplash. Bacon grease pooling on the surface spatters and stops food crisping.
Brands that matter
- Presto: The classic large, inexpensive griddle.
- Broil King: Heavy-duty, even-heating griddles.
- Cuisinart: Mid-range griddles and griddle and grill combinations.
- Hamilton Beach: Budget griddles, some with warming trays.
- Dash: Compact griddles for one or two people.
What to avoid
- Thin aluminium plates that warp
- Griddles with non-detachable controls, which cannot be submerged
