T-fal Specialty Nonstick Double Burner Griddle 18 Inch Oven Safe 350F Cookware, Pots and Pans, Dishwasher Safe Black

Handles remain easy to hold when pan is hot, because of the heat diffusion, from the silicone handles.The depth of the unit is deeper than any other unit - of any other company - hands down, and therefore, the range/stove stays cleaner. Cooking breaded eggplant has never been so neat and tidy!Even cooking - for the most part - throughout the real estate of the surface area. Pancakes with chocolate chips don't even stick!!!Everyone must remember that this surface will wear out, no matter how much you take care of it. I use silicone spatulas only. Even still, my most recent T-Fal griddle (exactly like this one, but its predecessor) I had for 6 years. Even with exquisite care, the coating eventually...wears.Also, if you have a bird in your home, the coating emits something into the air, and if turned up too high, can kill birds. Always cook on low...always.I've dropped hundreds of dollars over the past thirty years on finding the perfect Silverstone griddle (or equivalent). This one would be my first choice, even at THRICE the price. I just bought my 2nd one, a day after receiving my first one. After ordering the first one of this item, I received it..., used it for chocolate chip pancakes the next morning, and after breakfast...I ordered another one. There's nothing like everyone in the family having a pancake at the same time, rather than waiting for the next ones to finish cooking, while WATCHING other's eat their pancakes. Now, with two of these, everyone eats together...literally. I recommend also, getting an electric griddle to do eggs or bacon while the pancakes are cooking on these two T-fal rectangular griddles. I'm planning on getting a 2nd electric griddle to do fried potatoes. No worry about dishes, either...the units clean up in seconds, with warm soapy water. Use ONLY a 100% cotton washcloth, NOT a sponge or scouring pad. The cotton will allow the coating to last for years. Sponges are usually made of a rayon or polyester, which will prematurely wear the coating down. Paper towels will also wear the coating down, because paper is essentially...wood.

This is a well constructed, nicely made non-stick griddle. There is nothing wrong with this griddle; it is one of the finer non-stick pans I have used. We are careful to keep both ends of the pan at about the same temperature, and have not had a problem with warping.The non-stick technology that it uses, which is Teflon based, has advantages and drawbacks. The advantages are that it actually works, and is very low maintenance. It is also compatible with my glass toped non-induction stove. The disadvantages is that it destroys itself, and you want to get rid of it before it starts flaking off. You must only use this pan on low or medium, you must use nonstick safe (wood, Plastic/Nylon, or Silicone) utensils, you must never put this in the dishwasher, can't use a scrubbie of any kind on it (CERTAINLY NOT STEEL WOOL, METAL SCRUBBERS OR MAGIC ERASERS), and... we still end up buying a new one about every 18 months to two years.Just be aware that, while these pans are well made and coated with one of the best, most durable non-stick surfaces I've ever used... the coating will let you down long, long before the rest of the pan would. It's just the nature of the beast.

When I needed to sauté large quantities - several chicken breast halves, breaded, pounded pork tenderloin, etc, I would struggle with keeping 2-3 pans going at once. This does the charm. The high sides keep oil in. I do rotate the food, since the food in between the burners obviously doesn't cook as quickly, but the large size and high sides keep everything together, and it holds a tremendous amount. Plus, for the price (very reasonable), and easy clean-up, it can't be beat.If you are purchasing for pancakes, our complaint would be that the light weight of the pan itself is a little problematic: it moves around as you are trying to spatula the pancakes off the griddle. However, that wasn't our intent in purchasing, so it does exactly what we wanted it to do.

The griddle works great!! So much more room than a single burner easy to wash and really non-stick! Why not 5 stars, I did not receive a regular box so when I went to register it through T-Fal I didn't have the UPC even with all info off the Amazon website and the little pamphlet I received with the griddle I did not have the appropriate model number recognized by T-Fal to register for the warranty or recall notifications.

Excelente muy duradero

I recently went on a camping trip with several families and we each took a couple meals for 16 people each. I did breakfast burritos one morning, I did a peach cobbler, and I did 4 pounds of taco meat in the pan. The deep lip makes it able to do more than just my regular cast iron 2-burner camping pan. The pan was super easy to clean between meals, the deep lip made it easy to do large portions and the cake I was even able to do it by putting a tinfoil lid over the top. The handles insulate well so you can pick it up without hot pad holders. And I used it on a camping stove for everything which I was a little nervous about it warping based on others comments as the camping stove can be finicky and hard to maintain even heat, but had zero problems. Highly recommend!
