Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chef's Secret 5-Ply Stainless-Steel Griddle with Glass Lid
Customer Review: Very Good Choice
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not a fan of non-stick cookware or aluminum cookware. So the choices for pancakes are limited to stainless steel or cast-iron. I looked into purchasing a cast-iron griddle at a local store. It was a really nice piece. However, I didn't feel confident that I'd have the time to keep the iron "seasoned" to prevent it from rusting. Since this unit was double the price of the cast-iron griddle, I'd been eying it for a while, but hesitant to pull the trigger. Well I finally did.
First thing I noticed when I opened the box, is that this unit is very heavy, and seems well constructed. The instructions say to wash it before using, so I had to wait a day before trying it. I used cooking spray about 2 times for 15+ pancakes. It heats evenly on the stove and I was able to fit 3 pancakes at a time with ease. I was using a 12 inch fry pan before which only allowed one pancake at a time. Cleanup required steel wool, but not much elbow grease. I am definitely pleased with this purchase.
Customer Review: The Best
Summary: 5 Stars
OMG, I have been trying to hold off on righting a review because I appreciate review from people who have really spent some time using the product to find out long term how they hold up. I bought in Jan. 2010 and love it!!! I cannot say enough good about it. Perhaps a little large for some people but that doesn't bother me at all. I cook one person meals on it all the time and like knowing I have room to cook more for company. It never sticks, everything cooks fast and even, clean up is a breeze. Have made eggs, pancakes, chicken, stir fry and grilled cheese on it. It is beautiful, substantial and versatile. Not one complaint. This will last a lifetime and then some. Just what I wanted, something to have and I need never look for another ever. I would give as gift (but if smaller size available that would be more appropriate for some). Love It!!!!!Customer Review: Excellent Griddle
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this griddle as a gift, and I have never been more pleased. It heats more evenly than any other griddle on the market--you can literally use every inch of space and expect the same results, even if your burner is not exactly the same size as the griddle. It also cleans up beautifully and easily. I have made pancakes and french toast so far. I highly recommend this griddle; it is well worth the price.
The handles do get just a little hot after awhile, so be careful. Also, unlike with other pans that "radiate" heat that you can feel with your hand, this pan will not "feel" hot--and it will heat up quickly--so test with a little water first or it will get too hot on you.
Customer Review: Great griddle
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used this griddle twice, and so far, I'm extremely pleased with it. First I made a sausage, egg and cheese bagel breakfast sandwich. I cooked an egg, sausage, and bagel all at the same time, there was plenty of room. I just used very low heat (on my ceramic top stove with heat settings from 1 to 9, I used 2 1/2) and let the pan warm up before coating it with cooking spray. Nothing stuck on. The egg cooked nicely with no scorched edges. Clean up was a breeze. Next I cooked pancakes. Again with low heat, allowing warm up time and a coating of cooking spray. Pancakes cooked great with no sticking. This griddle is quite large, but it heats evenly. The handles don't get hot.Customer Review: Just what I had been looking for
Summary: 5 Stars
I was tired of purchasing those non stick griddles and throwing them away in a year or two. They either had been scratched or had a buildup of grease and were disgusting. I also didn't like how the handles stacked with the other items in my pan "drawer"
This beautiful pan cleans up nicely. Cooks nicely.
So beautiful it could double as a tray.
When I saw the price I took a chance. We have been using it for about two months now and are still delighted with our purchase.
