Presto 07047 Presto Cool Touch Griddle

Great size for two people. Heats up fast with evenly heated cooking surface. Great for home use and fits perfectly in our 5th wheel for vacation use. Able to fit 4 large pancakes on surface with no problem. Considered the "liddle griddle" at first and are glad that we decided on the larger 16 inch Presto Cool Touch griddle instead. Well made and should hold up to years of use.

Surprisingly light and thin but with plenty of cooking surface, this griddle is perfect for saving space in the kitchen. There's enough surface area to cook eggs, pancakes and bacon for our whole family at once, so everyone gets a hot breakfast. When we're finished cooking, we pop it into the dishwasher for easy cleaning and store it in the cupboard with our cookie sheets.

It heats up quickly and has an even temperature across the entire surface with no noticeable hot and cool spots. So far it has been sturdy and reliable. For the ~$18 we paid for it, this griddle was an excellent value. I would recommend this item.

My mom was given this griddle as a gift and after using hers, I just had to purchase my own. It is great for making breakfast and the fact that it can be fully submerged in water makes cleanup easy.

Once I found the perfect recipe to make beautiful golden, light, high-rise pancakes, I knew I needed an electric griddle that would accommodate large 5"-6" pancakes. This Presto handles the golden part just fine, but it's not big enough to handle more than two IHOP-sized pancakes at a time. So I've opted to order a second one, which will add to my griddle real estate, and produce the golden tan pancakes that I've come to love. I like the presto because it maintains its temperature and the plate is heated uniformly with no hotspots. The non-stick surface allows me to use less butter. Presto makes larger griddles, but having two of the smaller size seems to work well for my purposes.

Edited: Nov 30, 2012: I've been asked for the recipe of the perfect pancake. So here it is:

The Perfect Pancake

Important: Mix the batter as little as possible. Lumpy is good. Over mixing causes the moisture to combine with the gluten in the flour to form glue that prevents the gas (formed by the baking soda) from letting the pancakes rise as they cook. So stir as little as possible to just mix the ingredients.

1. Mix the following dry ingredients in a bowl:

2 ½ cups all purpose flour

¼ cup of granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon kosher salt

2. In a different separate bowl, mix the following wet ingredients:

2 cups buttermilk

2 cups sour cream

2 large eggs scrambled

4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

3 tablespoons sweet cream butter, melted

3. Add the mixed dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients. Stir until just blended, but still lumpy. (Do not over mix)

4. Preheat Presto griddle to 350-degrees. Pour batter by ¼ -cupfulls onto griddle.

I first ordered the 22" griddle as I wanted the larger cooking surface. However, I need it to go long way from front to back of the counter, and with the plug on the long end -it was just too long to be safe. This one fits that way with room to spare. However, I am disappointed to lose some cook surface.

Here's what fits: 10 strips of Hormel regular sliced bacon (I'd wanted one I could fit the whole package) or 5 slices of Arnold bread soaked for French toast (different rounds of cooking).

How it cooks: You could definitely tell it was cooler right in the center (even with the bacon that cooked more on the ends than in the middle of the piece), and on the end furthest from the plug. But it was manageable. I just traded spots with the food and it all cooked nicely with an even, predictable temperature. So I'm happy.

But I bought this to add to volume of food and am not concerned about really even color on pancakes. Good enough for family use!
