Customer Reviews of Presto 07046 Tilt 'n Drain Big Griddle Cool-Touch Electric Griddle
Customer Rating:   Summary: Good Griddle Comment: This is a nice griddle. It is large sized and heats evenly. It replaced my horrible Black & Decker griddle(never buy one). My only complaint is that it isn't quite flat. I cook thin Swedish pancakes and they all run toward the middle of this griddle. You can cook a lot with the big surface area, but make sure you have a large enough space to store it. Customer Rating: Summary: Cooks unevenly Comment: Nice large size, but it cooks pancakes unevenly. The "cakes" in the center (not near the heating element) are undercooked while those directly over the element can get too brown/dark. The cooking surface is very thin, which probably contributes to the uneven cooking. May work for bacon and other foods that are not as sensitive to browning as pancakes. Customer Rating: Summary: Large Griddle Comment: This griddle is the perfect size for my family of six. I love the fact that you can tilt and drain the grease from bacon as you cook it. Very easy to clean and cooks food evenly. If you are looking for a larger griddle this is worth the money. Customer Rating: Summary: Can't be beat... Comment: I think the whole tilt n' drain thing is kind of gimmicky, and I haven't really found a need for it. I can't imagine cooking so much bacon (or anything) on this that I'd need runoff for the grease. Or maybe I just don't cook anything that greasy. BUT I am a huge fan of this griddle. I can see how other folks would find it heated unevenly, but I think it's all a matter of warming the surface up adequately. I usually turn the thing on before I mix the batter; after a nice long warmup, I find the surface heats as evenly as can be. My pancakes have always turned out uniformly browned. The only thing that's kind of a drag in a good way is the size. This thing is just massive. It pretty much takes up all the space under the range hood, so not the best choice for cramped kitchens without storage space. That is, unless you grill everything you eat. Customer Rating: Summary: Pleased again. Comment: This is my second Presto griddle and I have to say i will continue to purchase this brand from here on out. The model I had before had the same amount of cooking space and can handle cooking 6 slices of thick cut bacon and sausage at the same time. The Tilt and Drain option took a little getting used to, but is useful to clean the grill when you are done. Just don't forget to NOT move the griddle once you start cooking, when you pull the front legs apart the griddle tilts and the oil on the grill will pour down into the drip pan, nice for cleanup before cooking the eggs! My only problem with the griddle is it is hard to store. It is a large griddle, that is what I wanted, so I have to deal with storing it! I finally resorted to standing it on it's side in my kitchen pantry. Takes up room, but it works. More Reviews This super-sized griddle is great for any meal. It can cook up to 50% more food than other jumbo griddles. Premium nonstick surface for stick-free cooking and easy cleaning. Slide-out drip tray empties easily. Fully submersible with the heat control removed. Control Master heat control maintains proper cooking temperature automatically. Huge cooking surface! Cooks as many as 12 slices of french toast at one time 
Choosing Appliance -> Spatulas Buy a sturdy stainless spatula for general uses and a Teflon spatula for your non-stick pan. In addition, buy a silicon baking spatula for scraping bowls. Silicon is an amazing substance which is heat resistant up to 550 degrees. Choosing Appliance -> Non-stick Pans We recommend having at least 1 high quality non-stick saute pan. It makes cooking eggs and delicate items like fish a breeze. It also cuts down on the amount of fat necessary to effectively saute. The best place to buy such pans is from a restaurant supplier.

Useful info -> Energy-Efficient Dishwashers Most of the energy used by a dishwasher is for water heating. The EnergyGuide label estimates how much power is needed per year to run the appliance and to heat the water based on the yearly cost of gas and electric water heating.
