10 Best Pancake Griddles

Material: This griddle has a heavy cast aluminum base, so Presto claims it is warp-proof. Quite relieving, actually, because the last thing anyone wants is an uneven griddle. The surface is completely non-stick and has a pretty texture which improves the non-stick capability of the griddle. Not only does it contribute towards beautiful pancakes, it also makes clean-up easier. 

Size: The griddle measures 22 inches in length. That is quite a size. This will allow you to make breakfast for the whole family, and then some, quite comfortably.

Electric/Manual: The griddle is electric, with the Control Master heat control that maintains the desired temperature automatically. It takes 1500W.

Sides: The sides are very low, the mark of a great griddle. The shallow design will not hurdle you as you try to get your spatula under the pancake for a perfect flip.

Grease Channel: The one thing this griddle doesn’t have is a grease channel. The surface of the griddle is quite smooth, with no dips at all on the sides.

Drip tray: If it doesn’t have a grease channel, it makes up for it with a drip tray. Although the surface is quite smooth, one of the longer sides of the griddle features a tray to catch all the grease that your fatty meats can release. No mess! And a healthier meal to boot.
