The higher the walls, the better the protection a height of 1 inch or more was best. Although those walls didn't entirely prevent flare-ups, they significantly decreased their frequency. Griddles with no walls allowed that grease to spatter or flow over their edges-even when the models had dedicated grease troughs-causing dangerous flare-ups as the fat hit the flame.Īs a result, we much preferred models with walls.
While these walls occasionally got in the way when we flipped pancakes or eggs, they proved their value when we seared burgers, helping contain any grease that was released. Many of the models had walls on their sides that rose up at least an inch above the cooking surface. Models less than 9.25 inches wide were a bit too narrow, requiring us to stagger and squeeze in just six pancakes at a time instead of the eight we could make on wider griddles. More specifically, we preferred griddles with cooking surfaces that were fairly wide. Not surprisingly, since we use these griddles to cook large batches of food, we liked models that gave us as much space as possible to cook on, preferring those that had a usable surface area of at least 160 square inches. But a few factors made some models more durable and easier to use, clean, and maintain than others. For this review, we chose models designed to straddle two burners, since single-burner griddles don't offer much of a size advantage over our favorite skillets.Īll the griddles performed well during testing, browning pancakes evenly, cooking eggs consistently, and searing the burgers respectably.
So we put eight new models, priced from about $44 to about $230, to the test, using them to cook pancakes, eggs over easy, and big pub burgers. Since we last reviewed these griddles, our winner and several other models were redesigned or discontinued. Stovetop griddles are more compact and easy to store and still give you the extra cooking surface you need to make lots of pancakes, eggs, bacon, grilled cheese, and even steaks or burgers on top of your range in relatively few batches. But it's quite large, making it a less appealing option for cooks with limited storage or counter space.

When we're cooking for a crowd, we love using our favorite electric griddle, the BroilKing Professional Griddle with Backsplash.
