Does this one heat evenly and drain the grease?

Yes it does. It has a little drain dish in the mid section front. I love this thing I use it so much!

It's okay with grease draining but there are clear hot spots under the heating loop. For pancakes i just pour the batter over the top of the hotter loop.

no, when you plug it in it rotates all the time. for single piece of pizza you would just put it in the center and it would heat evenly.

Yes, the heat element is under the top grill. I generally use an aluminum foil to collect the grease and drips, then wipe with a wet cloth.

Handles fine. The underside of the grill is on a slight slope so it works it's way slowly to the chute. I haven't had any issues with excessive grease. Some drips into the chute and burns off, the rest I just cleaned up. The grill comes apart pretty easy for cleaning.

Yes of course it does. You can not have anything frying grease without it occurring. Just crack open the windows and turn on the stove vents to help it disperse.

Depends on how dirty. Old grease took a Pressure washer. the other did not. Hope that helps.

Yes - it heats evenly, and it is the best device I have used for keeping food at serving temperature during a lengthy dinner

Yes - it does. It actually retains heat much better than the Cuisinart original pot.

No it does not, I just use very hot water to rinse and put on a towel to drain. Hope this helps.

All three of mine came with grease fittings. As Vincent Puopolo commented, they come with sealed bearings, so I don't see the point of grease fittings. I greased them anyway, as it may help dissipate heat.

..check on how level your griddle is..sounds like it's flowing away from the side grease spout is on..if you get it exactly level, you can just scrape it towards the drain..have it just slightly forward..

Yes it does cook evenly but you have to watch it to make sure it does not burn.

No. This item is heated with an iternal element that has no temp control. If you leave the grease heating for too long without using it will burn the grease in the Gran Pappy. I still recommend this item though as it does all our deep frying needs to perfection. We are on our second Gran Pappy now after about 14 years or service on our first one.

No, I'm afraid it doesn't. I wish it had some sort of lid. After using it for a while now, I find the grease will spatter.

Yes and No.But for the most part, Yes. It's not 100% even, but it's more even than my previous two griddles (one a different Presto model and I forget the brand of the other). It cooks evenly enough. I use it on a daily basis to fry about a dozen eggs.

It somewhat does, you can cook on it like a fry pan ,but when grilling burgers and such most of the drippings run off the edge and the rest is in the grooves formed by the grill surface. Works good, not greasy at all.

Yes. Done it and it cooks the same. The only thing is that since its less slanted it drains less fat out
