How deep is this griddle? would it be suitable for frying bacon?

It is not deep enough to fry bacon, the grease would drip over the edges. However, it is perfect for pancakes and grilled cheese sandwiches. I highly recommend it. Hope this helps.

Yes, it's great for frying bacon... up to 8 slices works fine. We use it for bacon all the time.

It is great for a lot of bacon. The square shape makes the slices easy to fit. The whole pan heats pretty evenly, but I still move the outside ones to the middle when I cook a bunch. If the bacon is very fatty, I have poured some of the grease off while still cooking--the corners make it easy to pour safely. Then I carefully wipe any grease on the outside and put it back on the fire.

Can't give specific depth as this was purchased as a gift however I do know that the recipient does use it for frying bacon on a regular basis.

It's a little less than 1/2" deep. I've fried bacon on it, but I do have to dump the grease occasionally.

It's not deep like a frying pan. The picture on Amazon is accurate. But you, definitely, could fry bacon on it. Just keep your eye on it and dont fry it on high. Bacon spatters, regardless, when it's frying. Love my grill!

I have two of these and the cooking service is about 19 inches wide and 11 1/2 inches deep. I cook 1/2 package of bacon that is cut in half on half of the grill and the other half I cook sausage and it works great. I also purchased two bacon presses and everyone loves how flat and crisp the bacon and I also use the presses on the sausage. I use the other grill to cook pancakes on while the meat is cooking on the other one. Hope this helped, I just love these grills.

I don't think it should be used as a deep fryer. The coating is anodized, and I don't know if it would hurt it, but I think hot grease over a period of time might be detrimental.

I'm not sure. I have never used it for deep frying. It is only two (2) inches deep. The temperature control seems accurate. It might work.

The dimensions are 10x10 for the cooking surface. I really enjoy the griddle, it is great to cook on, and it is large. Great for making bacon and I've done pancakes, no sticking as long as properly oiled between uses. I recently swapped out my regular electric burners for some radiant burners on my Jenn Aire. As a result, the griddle wouldn't fit on the burner and actually rested on the frame rather than the burner. To solve the problem I bought the Ilsa 7-inch cast iron heat diffuser. It takes longer for the pan to heat using the diffuser, but it works like a charm once it warms up.

large enough for a strip of bacon sideways---griddle is huge-trough edge is approx. 1" on each side

It's probably sturdy enough for deep frying, but not large enough for most uses ... unless you want to deep-fry, say, 12 button mushrooms divided into two batches (I wouldn't). You probably need a bigger pan for deep frying.

The pan is about an inch deep but it is only 7 x 5". It is used to catch the grease under the grill, not cook in it

I purchased one of these for my wife, but she did not like the way that fat empties into a small cup on the side (see pic: http://www.hamiltonbeach.com/media/products/slideshow/500/25331-inset01.jpg). We replaced this grill with a deep electric frying pan and a larger electric griddle, both of which we are very happy with. This grill might be quite suitable for your needs.

It is deep enough for a 5 or more pound roast. I do not remember the depth. I returned it as it appeared to be used. I used it once and the food stuck to the non-stick skillet. It was cheaply made. I do no recommend it. Try GE instead.

would work fine for that but would have to be a very small amount of meat. the container is only about 6 inches across. this is more for after you have already removed the meat from a pan and then straining the grease into the jar for later use. This is why it refers to bacon more than any other because that is a grease you might save and cook with compared to beef.

Interior depth is about 1/4" with a continuous rim, no openings on the sides. I would fry bacon in it, but keep the temp down to control splatters!

It's 2.5" deep. If you're talking deep frying, no. Get yourself a deep fryer for that. But for frying chicken in an inch or so of oil, etc, yes. People cook fried chicken in frying pans all the time, and this one is no exception. I have fried and stir fried, and pan fried in mine. It does great pork chops and steaks. I do a cross between pan-fried and oven baked chicken in it. They all turn out very successfully, moist and tender, but properly cooked, and it can do a very nice crispy exterior, if you want it. I do my 'world famous' fried squash parmesan, and it's the best I have ever tasted. In other words, it's very versatile, and can turn out pretty much whatever you want. I love mine. (it's easy to clean, too) ENJOY

The inside of the top is 12". It's a great pan for large amounts or if you are frying bacon. 4 slices fit flat across the bottom and fry beautifully. I love this skillet because even thought it is big it so useful.

Is an inch "deep"? Enough for fruit, whippy, butter, syrup, etc. Crispy. We like ours.

Hi, Polly. I suppose that would depend on what you cooked on it. Bacon? Maybe. A grilled cheese sandwich? Not so much. But even so, if you're using it as a press rather than wide open as a dual griddle, it's pretty contained. So far, I haven't found anything this doesn't do well. Love it.

I have not used it yet but I did purchase the griddle for things like bacon and hash browns I think it would drain along the edge and down to the drip tray
