Question: What are the actual dimensions of the cooking surface? Also, how far do the handles stick out?
Document: I have used this pan so much since I got it. I love the handles on this pan, easy to hang on to when flipping pancakes. It fits perfectly on the two burners. Great non stick finish. I also love the depth of this pan, it makes it so versatile for cooking. Thank you.
After running through a couple other smaller griddles, I bought this so that we could have a larger, more efficient cooking surface for our large family (of 9 people). So far, it has been a great addition to our kitchen! It cleans up very easily (though it doesn't fit in the dishwasher we have) and heats up pretty nicely, although our burner sizes don't match (my stove has different size burners for different types of cooking/simmering).
Although the side walls are not as deep as they appear in the picture the double burner pan does allow for more cooking surface than a fry pan or large skillet. Additionally the pan will can get much hotter than a skillet which makes for browning several items very handy.
This pan is just slightly longer and wider than the one it replaced. Also has a slightly curved rather than squared edge along inside of pan. This means I can make even bigger pancakes and it's easier to tease them back into the middle if they get up against the side.The pan heats quickly and does a good job of heating evenly. Non-stick works very well initially (I will update this review later if there is any change with this).
This is the perfect griddle -- has a non-stick surface, covers two burners (I have gas), is lightweight (I need to store mine in the basement) and has higher sides that all other griddles I've seen. Because of the high sides, you can use this griddle just like you would a saute pan -- scrambles eggs, bacon, hamburgers, etc. I was happy to find it on Amazon since my local Macy's was out of it and their price was higher even on sale.
It's not horrible, but there is a very noticible cooking time difference between the areas that contact the burner and the area between. Almost takes twice the time to cook in the middle area. I have two batches of pancakes from the burner areas done by the time the first batch from the center is done. I didn't have this problem on the gas stove. But my old T-Fal griddle is also thicker. You just have to keep more of an eye on it than I'm used to.
We purchased this from a retailer to take camping.If you camp you know that cooking on a camp stove is tricky at best. Well, this griddle makes it easy! Even on a propane stove I do not get hot or cold spots. The temp is very even. I will buy another one to use in the house and replace my electric griddle. It has held up great. The handles have not gotten hot even though one is very close to the burner.
The griddle is of good quality material, and is nice and sturdy. It also has a nice depth to it.
Griddle warped first use. When pressing one end flat on the cook surface the other end raised over 1 inch. Bad quality control.
The label indicated that it was safe up to 350 degrees but mine warped well below that temperature. Too bad, it's a nice looking piece of cookware and the padded handles are a nice feature but worthless if you can't use it.
Answer: The dim from outside of one handle to outside of other handle is 23 3/4"the handles stick out 2 3/4"the pan is 11 1/4 x 18 1/4the actual flat cooking surface is 10 x 17hope that helps
