Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Double Griddle

Works as advertised.
I use this pan for bacon and eggs, just for the two of us. I let it preheat a little so that the pan is completely hot. I put bacon on one end and eggs on the other. I put a big round glass lid over the bacon so that it doesn't splatter. It's perfect for cooking up bacon for a crowd if we have company. It sits perfectly flat against the stove top, which is my ceramic stove top requires. It's great for breakfast, grilled sandwiches, hamburgers for a crowd, etc. I've owned a number of griddles over the years and the Calphalon griddle is my favorite.

One of the best griddles on the market
Calphalon has become my favorite brand of cookware. Although I prefer the company's traditional hard-anodized professional line, I bought this nonstick double griddle because Calphalon does not make a fully hard-anodized griddle. The rectangular pan easily covers two burners and is great for making pancakes, grilled sandwiches, eggs - whenever you need a large flat cooking surface.

I have a gas range, and I find that the heat does not distribute as evenly as I'd like, though it's adequate for most cooking purposes. Cooks with electric ranges might get better results with their more radiant burner system. The uneven heating is in part due to the pan's design since it spans two burners with obviously a gap between two heat sources. However, you can't beat this useful griddle for cooking of a batch of pancakes or other family meals more quickly than you would with one pan. The nonstick surface has proven to be durable, and the pan itself is extremely sturdy...

Great griddle !!!!
This griddle is a great addition to my cookware. I have used it several times and have not been disappointed. It cooks pancakes evenly and perfectly all the way across my two burners. I noticed that in some of the reviews for various brands of griddles that they were not to be used on glass cooktops. This one works and I am very pleased with my purchase. The only thing I might add is that it does not have trough around the edges to drain the fat. When I cook bacon, it has to sit in the grease until I take it off the griddle. However this is not too much of a problem as I make sure it is well drained before I serve it. It is a little pricey for no more than I use it, but it is a great product and I don't think you could go wrong with this one if you are in the market for a double griddle. Amazon does have the best prices around.
