Nordic Ware 2 Burner Backsplash Griddle, Nonstick - Large Breakfast

Our review of the Nordic Ware 2 Burner Backsplash Griddle finds it especially suited to cooks who want a sturdy, easy-to-clean surface for morning meals and casual dinners. The biggest reason to buy is its combination of durable cast aluminum construction and a ceramic nonstick coating that simplifies cleanup while delivering consistently even heat for pancakes, bacon and burgers. This review focuses on real kitchen use: fit across two burners, a front grease well for drippings, and a backsplash that keeps stovetops and counters cleaner during heavy frying.

Key Features

• Double-burner width: The large 20 in by 12 in exterior footprint is built to span two stovetop burners so cooks get a broad, continuous cooking area for multiple items at once.
• Cast aluminum core: Durable cast aluminum construction provides excellent heat retention and even distribution for consistent browning across the whole surface.
• Ceramic nonstick coating: The PFAS-free ceramic finish allows for easier release of food and straightforward washing after use.
• Backsplash design: The raised back edge and splatter guard protect counters and stove surfaces from grease and spills while cooking messier items.
• Front grease well: Built-in front grease channel captures fats and juices to keep food from sitting in drippings and makes disposal cleaner.
• Stovetop compatibility: Safe for gas, electric and ceramic stovetops and heat tolerant up to 400 degrees F for flexible home use.

Who It's For

The griddle is ideal for households that regularly prepare breakfast for two or more people, campers who need a reliable pan for camp stoves, and anyone wanting a griddle that covers two burners for large batches of pancakes or grilled sandwiches. Its size and grease-management features make it a practical choice for family breakfasts and weekend brunches.

Those who prefer induction cooking should look elsewhere, as this product is intended for gas, electric and ceramic ranges. Also, cooks who require oven-safe performance above 400 degrees F or who need a fully rigid stainless steel plate may prefer a different material choice.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Large size fits two burners so multiple items cook together without crowding.

Cons

• Some users report occasional stickiness and mixed experience with the coating depending on heat and oil usage.
• Not compatible with induction cooktops, limiting use for some kitchens.
