Wolfgang Puck XL Reversible Grill Griddle - Oversized 2-in-1 Indoor

In this review of the Wolfgang Puck XL Reversible Grill Griddle the bottom line is simple: this is an ideal countertop unit for families who need a true two-in-one cooking surface with a very large capacity. The reviewer found the oversized 198 square inch plate and 1800 watt heating element deliver even heat and fast recovery, making it reliable for everything from pancakes and bacon to steaks and burgers. Its removable, dishwasher-safe plates and integrated safety tab make cleanup and daily use straightforward for busy kitchens.

Key Features

• XL Reversible Plate: The extra-large 11in x 18in cooking surface lets you cook for up to 6 to 8 people at once so large breakfasts and family meals are quick and efficient.
• Two Appliances in One: A grill on one side and a flat griddle on the other provide flexibility to sear steaks or cook pancakes without needing separate units.
• Premium Nonstick Coating: Both sides have a nonstick surface that releases food easily and is described as metal utensil safe for everyday use.
• High Heat Performance: The 1800 watt element with adjustable control heats up to 400oF for effective searing and fast temperature recovery between batches.
• Easy Cleanup: The removable cooking plate and extra-large drip tray are dishwasher safe and come with a dual-sided scraper to simplify cleaning.
• Built-in Safety: An interlocking tab prevents the unit from heating unless the drip pan is properly in place, adding a practical safety feature.

Who It's For

This grill griddle is best for families, small dinner parties, or anyone who wants a versatile indoor cooking appliance that handles both breakfast and grilling tasks. The large 198 square inch surface and rapid 1800 watt heating make it especially useful for those who need to cook multiple items at once and want even heat across a wide area.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need outdoor charcoal or gas grilling flavors, or cooks who require extremely high professional grill temperatures beyond the stated 400oF limit. If compact storage or single-burner portability is the main priority, a smaller griddle may be a better fit.
