All Clad Electric Griddle  

This polished stainless steel electric griddle from All Clad would be an attractive addition to any kitchen.

Cook across the entire extra large, 20 x 13 inch non-stick cooking surface, or use the two independent thermostats to set each side to a different temperature. Sear on one side, and warm on the other. A light indicates when your desired cooking temperature (up to 480 degrees F) is reached.

The All Clad nonstick griddle includes a drip tray, removable splatter guard, and handle for easy transporting. Makes a great Christmas gift.

Breville BGR820XL Smart Grill
Amazon.com approx. $299.99 -$325.99  

If you don't mind spending more for better performance, then go for the 1800 Watt Breville Smart Grill. Its plates have heat sensors that detect the temperature of the food placed on it , and they automatically adjust. (Ex. The griddle automatically kicks the heat up higher when it senses cold hamburger patties on it.)

You'll get your money's worth once you give it a workout cooking all three meals of the day: It handles breakfast (pancakes, eggs and bacon), lunch (panini sandwiches), and dinner (Omaha steaks and burgers, grilled chicken). Breville boasts a BBQ-quality sear on meats, btw.

It has a slightly larger cooking surface than the Cuisinart Gridder, and a George Foreman-style tilted grease runoff, which the Griddler lacks. The Breville griddle comes with dishwasher safe griddle and grill plates that provide even heating and easy cleanup.

What sets this griddle apart from the rest? Well first, there's the size. The Presto Tilt 'n Drain Cool Touch Big Griddle has a huge, 24-inch wide cooking surface -- it can fit 50% more food on it than other jumbo griddles. That means 12 pancakes or slices of French toast at a time. This also means less cleanup -- after all you only used one griddle instead of multiple pots and pans. Now, f only there was a way to cook grits on a griddle...

Next, there's the tilt feature. This versatile nonstick griddle lays flat for cooking eggs and pancakes, but can be tilted when cooking meats to drain off the fat. Push the side handles in, and the surface lays flat for pancakes, French toast, eggs, grilled cheese, and hash browns. Pull the handles out, and the griddle tilts to drain the excess fat from bacon, sausage, and burgers. Bet your stove top skillet can't do that!

Another cool feature is the backstop. The Presto Cool Touch Tilt N Drain Electric Griddle has a backstop ledge that you can slide your spatula up against to help you pick food up to flip it over or remove it from the griddle.

Last, and most important if you ask me, is the easy cleanup. The griddle is nonstick, so cleanup is a breeze. Just remove the heat control and wash the griddle in the sink.

* Preheat griddle for 5-10 minutes, which will ensure even cooking. The pilot light will go out to indicated griddle has reach desired cooking temperature.
* Only use nonstick utensils (silicone, wood, nylon, etc.)
