HA1 Expert Hard Anodized Nonstick Griddle Pan For Stovetop 11x11 Inch Square Pan, Oven-Safe Up to 500°F, Professional Cookware, Dishwasher-Friendly, Pancake Pan, Cookware, Black

I continue to collect this top notch brand. I got this returned pan that was in perfect condition. I’ve used it for pancakes and French toast with great results. No warping like my last POS griddle pan. The handle is long, comfortable, cool to the touch and far from the hot cooking surface. The size is just right for my large electronic cooktop. I store it in the below oven drawer.

Love All-Clad pans. Have bought several, so had to buy this one to make pancakes on!

I have had good luck with the All-Clad pans. They hold up well! Thanks

Best griddle

Smooth Flipping, Quick Heating, Star Handle, and Easy Cleanup But Check Storage Requirements I keep my cookware for decades. Most of what I use day to day is heritage cast iron and copper because they last forever and feel familiar. But I’ve been testing newer pieces for everyday cooking because they’re lighter, easier to clean, and All-Clad makes excellent cookware. I recently got an All-Clad skillet that I really like, so I wanted to try out this griddle. I’ve been using this square HA1 Expert griddle for several weeks now, mostly for breakfast foods. Eggs, pancakes, grilled cheese when family was visiting. This is the largest griddle I own, and that alone makes it useful. Here’s how this is performing in real, everyday use. ➡️ BUILD QUALITY AND DESIGN ⭐ THE HANDLE IS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL DESIGNED. This is the first thing I noticed. The handle is thicker in all the right places, feels secure in my hand, and gives me enough clearance that my fingers never get close to the hot surface. That’s hard to achieve with low walled griddles. The slight elevation makes this much easier to maneuver than my cast iron griddles, which have handles that sit too close to the cooking surface to be helpful. ⭐ THE LOW WALLS MAKE FLIPPING EASY. This is a real benefit. I can slide a spatula under pancakes, eggs, or grilled cheese without fighting the sides of the pan. Even the pancakes toward the back are easy to flip. The low walls also make the cooking surface feel more generous than the dimensions suggest. ⭐ LIGHTWEIGHT BUT SOLID. This is much lighter than my cast iron pieces, but it still feels sturdy and trustworthy. Nothing about this feels flimsy or thin. This sits flat, feels engineered, and has the stability I expect from All-Clad. ⚠️ THE HANDLE IS LONG, AND STORAGE TAKES PLANNING. This was the only design surprise. The handle adds a lot to the overall length. I store this in my range oven because I have wall ovens for actual cooking, but if you have limited cabinet space, it’s worth checking the fit. ➡️ PERFORMANCE ⭐ FOOD RELEASES BEAUTIFULLY. Eggs, pancakes, grilled cheese, everything slides. Nothing sticks. The nonstick coating feels durable and predictable. ⭐ HEATS FAST AND RESPONDS QUICKLY. This is a big advantage over cast iron. If I turn the heat up or down, this responds right away. For breakfast foods that cook quickly, this is exactly what I want. ⚠️ THERE ARE HOT SPOTS. This doesn’t heat as evenly as my cast iron griddles. The center runs hotter. For me, this is a tradeoff for the lightweight build and the very slick nonstick surface. It hasn’t affected my cooking much because everything I make on this griddle cooks fast. And for grilled cheese, it’s easy to rotate the sandwich so the bread gets evenly toasted. ⭐ STABLE AND PREDICTABLE ON THE COOKTOP. This sits completely flat on my gas burners and stays stable when I press on this with a spatula. Once I learned where the hotter zone is, this became very predictable. ➡️ CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE ⭐ CLEANS UP IN SECONDS. I wipe this between batches with a paper towel held in tongs, and everything comes right off. After cooking, dish soap and water are all this needs. No scrubbing. ⭐ THE DARK EXTERIOR HIDES OIL MARKS. If there are any stains, I don’t see them. The dark exterior keeps this looking clean. ⭐ LOW WALLS MAKE CLEANING EASY. It’s simple to reach every part of the cooking surface. The tradeoff is that splatter can reach the cooktop more easily, but that’s expected with any griddle. ⚠️ I WOULDN’T USE THE DISHWASHER. This is large, the handle is long, and I prefer to hand wash nonstick anyway. Cleanup is so fast that the dishwasher isn’t necessary. ➡️ MY BOTTOM LINE This is the best large format griddle I’ve used, and it’s super handy whenever I’m cooking for more than three people. This heats fast, cleans up instantly, and has a handle that finally solves the low walled griddle problem I’ve had with my cast iron pieces. When I have family over from time to time, this is a great piece to keep on hand. It’s lightweight, reliable, and easy to maneuver. For pancakes, eggs, grilled cheese, and anything that benefits from a wide, open surface, this griddle performs really well. Great value for money.

I’ve been using this All-Clad griddle pan for breakfast and quick meals, and it’s been an excellent addition to the kitchen. The square shape gives a bit more usable surface than a standard round pan, which makes it easier to cook multiple items at once without feeling cramped. The low sides also help when flipping things like pancakes or eggs. The nonstick surface works well and makes cooking and cleanup simple. I don’t need much oil, and food releases easily without sticking. After cooking, it wipes down quickly without needing much effort, which is something I always appreciate for everyday use. It heats evenly and holds temperature well, so I don’t have to constantly adjust the burner. I’ve used it for everything from pancakes to grilled sandwiches, and it’s handled both without issue. It also feels well balanced on the stovetop and doesn’t shift around. I love that it's induction compatible, and I use it with an induction cooktop without issue. Overall, this is a reliable pan that’s easy to use and fits into daily cooking without any extra hassle. It’s a good option if you want something straightforward that performs consistently and is easy to clean.

🔮 Vine find,🕯taxed at filing, 🌘 no spell veils what I say... This pan works, but it also has the exact same energy as someone wearing designer shoes to take out the trash. The non‑stick coating did its job, my egg glided around like it was auditioning for a skating show, and the heat distribution was even enough for breakfast. But my $30 pan does every single one of those things without trying to sell me a luxury fantasy 🙄. The “quality” here is normal, not premium, and the only thing truly heavy is the price tag. The sides are low enough that food tries to wander off like it’s exploring new horizons. It looks sleek, sure, but looks don’t equal durability or value for money. For what they’re charging, I expected something that actually felt special. Instead it’s just a very average pan wearing a very expensive outfit💲. In my opinion, the value isn’t here and the brand name is doing all the heavy lifting.
