Is the griddle reliable, I need it for our church brotherhood

I've been using it daily since I've bought it. It's never let me down. The only thing I've ever had to do is tighten the screws that hold the handles to the griddle, but that's just a turn of a regular phillips head screwdriver.

I've been very happy with mine. It heats evenly and quickly, has a large cooking surface yet is lightweight.

We've had this model for 3 or 4 years and have had no problems with it.Of course my wife is the one who uses it most but it seems to heat evenlyand gets hot enough to cook everything we put on it.

Yes very, I've own this one for only a few months and use it a lot. I've had the Smaller version for over 8 years and that still works fine. Just need to tighten the screws every once and awhile

My original one lasted about 11 years. The only reason I replaced is because I dropped it breaking it's leg. One of the most basic of appliances, there is very little to go wrong. New one has been great and I hope to get as many years from this one.

I've had this griddle now since last summer and have used it perhaps 15 times to cook bacon, sausage, eggs, hashbrowns and pancakes for 2-8 people at a time. The only thing I would say is to handle it very carefully as the handles are very tinny. They're brittle BakeLite. If you break one off with rough handling, which is a very real possibility, your griddle will probably not be very easy to use after that.

Yes, it's great. I use it nearly every morning. This is my third Presto griddle in my 42 married years. I swear by Presto.

The griddle works very well. It heats evenly and is large enough to cook everything at once, however the plastic is very fragile. The handle on the grease cup broke almost immediately. So I could not give it a high rating.

I would say that yours is flawed. I have been so happy with mine that I'd be surprised if you were treated less than graciously by the seller. The total non-stickedness of this pan is part of what makes it great. Get a good one.

Yes! We love it. My husband uses it more than I do now! It is the best cookware we have purchased and was very inexpensive. It arrived on time and we were very impressed. It is as good as new still. :-) you can not go wrong buying this. I was surprised with how great it was and I have been disappointed in much more expensive cookware.

I don't know about Nesco, but my Deni Roaster is very efficient and cooks well, that's what i normally use to cook for our Church's potluck.

My organization purchased it for a church group. It's held up well for the past year, considering it's used every day by active duty sailors and marines.

Not necessarily, I had a griddle and a grill. My aluminum grill I had originally finally melted to a point I wanted it replaced. I also replaced the griddle since I was not using that. I like both sides to be grills.The cast iron appears to be doing well and not deforming at all.

I read a few reviews that states they have different style heating elements and the grommet model does not maintain an even heat as well as the griddler. I purchased the griddler so i have nothing to compare it too. I do like my Griddler Gr4n so far no complaints. Either way you can't go wrong. Costco stands behind the products it sales as does amazon.com and Cuisinart.

We had one at a church gathering with ~100 people. It started to sputter (running low on chocolate) after at least an hour's use (prob closer to 1 1/2 hrs). It was in continuous use the first 45 minutes, and still was quite busy after that. Made me come looking for one (It was a Rival).

Yes absolutely! I have had this griddle for about a year now and it is in excellent condition. My favorite thing about it is the EASY clean up! Everything just wipes off it with little effort.

As long as you use plenty of oil or whatever you are using, it works fine. If not enough oil then whatever you are cooking will stick to the griddle. You must not turn the heat too high. A medium or low heat works best.

I think it heats pretty evenly. I let it get nice and hot and don't overcrowd it. In my opinion the griddle is more functional than the grill.

I purchased this for church use. This coffee maker is a work horse. If you want a good product that will withstand time, this is the answer. We have a couple of old West Bends that are going on 12+ years; they still work great.

To be perfectly honest, we've never used the base as a griddle; only used the entire unit as a slow cooker/crockpot. We think it works great as crockpot.

Its pretty sturdy. I've been real happy with this. I use it almost every day, sometimes twice with the griddle for breakfast.

It would be fine for a larger family, especially at breakfast. it would be great for any meal. I assume the weight is twice that of the half griddle which could be awkward to handle.

Yes. A very high-quality one too. While only the test of time will tell, this particular non-stick feel very rugged and not one of those kind that will start flaking on you or off-gas on high heat. This whole unit is one beautiful beast. My best appliance!
