Presto 22in Ceramic Removable Handles Electric Griddle - Large Family

Our review of the Presto 22in Ceramic Removable Handles Electric Griddle finds it best suited for families and hosts who need a large, reliable surface for breakfast, dinner and entertaining. The single biggest reason to buy is the extra-large 22in cooking area combined with a textured ceramic nonstick surface that makes cooking multiple items and cleanup noticeably easier. For everyday pancakes, bacon, grilled cheese and batch meals, this griddle delivers an efficient, easy-to-clean experience that stores compactly once the handles are detached.

Key Features

• Extra-large cooking surface: The 22in griddle provides enough room to cook for several people at once, reducing the need for multiple batches.
• Textured ceramic surface: A special textured ceramic coating gives enhanced nonstick performance and makes wiping and soaking simpler.
• Removable handles: Detachable handles allow the griddle to be fully immersed for cleaning and to fit in most standard 18in cabinets for compact storage.
• Control Master heat control: The included heat control maintains the desired cooking temperature automatically for consistent results.
• Heavy cast aluminum construction: The virtually warp-proof base keeps a flat cooking plane for even contact with foods.
• Slide-out drip tray: A removable drip tray captures excess grease for quick disposal and easier cleanup after cooking.

Who It's For

This griddle is ideal for families, weekend hosts or anyone who regularly cooks multiple portions at once and values easy cleanup. The large surface handles pancakes, bacon, sandwiches and social meals without crowding, and the removable handles make it simple to clean or store between uses.

Less suitable for someone who only needs a tiny single-serve appliance or who requires precision grill marks like an outdoor cast-iron grill. Also, those wanting fully even industrial heat across the entire plate should note user comments indicating mixed heat distribution performance in some cases.
