Black & Decker GR100-SG Ideal for breakfasts, this electric griddle is the perfect solution for the family cook who is tired of spending brunch in the kitchen while everyone else eats: The griddle can be used right at the table (although we recommend putting a wood cutting board underneath it to protect your tabletop). At 21 by 10-1/2 inches, it's large enough to feed the whole family. The edges stay cool, and the Dupont Teflon nonstick surface is easy to keep clean--especially since the griddle is completely immersible. Also great for summer meals outdoors, the black griddle includes extensive instructions, recipes, and a one-year limited warranty.

Uneven heat
»
Large cooking area is nice but the uneven heat makes this griddle almost unusable. Very easy to burn pancakes and, when they aren't burning, they're heated unevenly.

Not bad for a cheap griddle.
»
I bought this at Target over a year ago and have used it almost every weekend since to make pancakes. For over a year it has functioned admirably for such a cheap griddle. The pancakes cook evenly enough and they never stuck (although I do use oil). Cleaning it is a bit of a pain. I noticed right away that the oil burned onto the griddle in the area over the element and it was impossible to scrub completely clean. Still, it served it's purpose. Alas, it appears to be heading for the trash now. The last two times I made pancakes they stuck despite using lots of oil. I also tried making bacon on it a few times and that really demonstrated how unevenly it cooks. The pieces on the perimeter were practically burnt while the ones in the middle were almost raw. Still, it wasn't too bad for the price, especially for someone like me who has never used one and wasn't sure if I would like it. FWIW, the big cooking area is a Godsend for making pancakes since I used to have to make them one at a time on the stove, and now that I know that I don't mind spending a little more money on a higher quality griddle.

Worth less than that . . . .
»
I recently received one of these as a gift and gave it a drive around the block for Christmas breakfast. The temperature control does not work. It has two functions - always on & burning stuff or OFF. This is a distinct fire hazard.
This and all other Black and Decker products are no longer made by Black and Decker but by some company called Applica. Attempts to contact them were time consuming and frustrating, involving multiple codes and long wait times. I decided to contact the Federal Trade Commission about the faulty product instead.

Worthless piece of junk
»
This is the most worthless electric griddle I have ever encountered in my life. The FIRST time I used it, for 8 pancakes, it burned 9 and didn't cook the 10th. And where the burned pancakes were, the nonstick coating was damaged. Subsequently, I've reduced the temperature and the cooking time, but for 3 successive days we've had LOUSY pancakes. And I bought it before Christmas because I will have houseguests. I called the 800 number for customer service and the rep was rude to me. I spoke to his supervisor (if it was his supervisor), and she was not much more helpful. Don't buy this grill!!! My previous griddle (Toastmaster) works better, and it's 12 years old. I wish I had looked at the Amazon reviews before I bought it!

Do not buy this griddle
»
I purchased this from Target and within a week foods started sticking. Now, 6 months later, the non-stick surface is coming off. I will not buy this griddle or another Black and Decker griddle
