Could this double as a pancake griddle?

Yes, depending on size of pancakes you could cook more than one at a time. This is one of the better electric skillets on the market.
604885
Yes, I've made pancakes in it before. I cook almost everything in my skillet.
604886
Yes, this certainly can be used as a pancake griddle. I have done so myself.

Certainly not the same thing as a "griddle," but I've made lots of pancakes in it.

Yes, I occasionally do make pancakes. I just generously oil the pan before use.

It works great for pancakes, waffles, grilled cheese, etc. I think you could use it for panini's if you did like a grilled cheese by grilling one side at a time.

I believe it can. However you would use a regular skillet, you can use this for as well. Mine has held up nicely, no sign of the finish wearing off. My pancakes slide right off. I use it 3x per week. I make protein power pancakes for my hustand to take to work, he eats them cold with fruit jelly.

yes, but you have to know how to control temperature, pancakes cooks perfect at a low temperature an add a little oil to te griddle before.

I don't see why not. It can be used to press any food item against the griddle or pan

Yes, the bottom of the pan is flat. We haven't used it yet for pancakes but I believe that it would work well, as long as you use a low heat setting.

Hi Kathy,We haven't tried this, but seems like it would be fine as a Panini press. Sabrina has confirmed it!

I believe so.. Best griddle I have ever owned...had mine for over a year and it's still going.

I don't think the heat would be evenly distributed, resulting in " hot spots " , and maybe even warping the griddle.

I wouldn't use it for that purpose. I would be more inclined to buy Avery small crockpot for that purpose. This griddle is just for cooking.

I suppose you could, but why? When using this, think pancakes. You need to get the griddle hot first. I simply place it on the front burner and heat it until the oil begins to smoke a little. I use a brush to oil the pan. Then I add the batter and adjust the heat as needed. I use a very large measuring cup to mix the batter in. I find it is easier to pour from this into the cups on the pan. It takes a little practice and timing, but well worth it! Another tip... I bought a few squirt (think ketchup bottles at restaurants) bottles. I filled one up with syrup, one with apple sauce, one with raspberry jelly, etc. and set them out. When I make these for groups, they have their choice of fillings and flavors! Finger Food! Pick one up, fill it with your favorite flavor and pop it into your mouth! This goes over big time! Enjoy!

Yes, you could make pancakes. You may want to consider a nonstick pan for pancakes, however.

You could cook a couple of pancakes at a time using the flat plate, and a couple of waffles at a time using the waffle plates. Wouldn't be able to cook both at the same time with this (or any that I'm aware of).

Technically yes, but a egg platter tray might be a better option. It might be a tight fit.

I would say yes you can. The cord is very short ,but only the top surface of the griddle is hot the grease trap works great too

I haven't tried it, but it should work - particularly since most pancake batters don't recommend over-stirring. It doesn't work very well for viscous batters, but pancake batter has possibilities. I use a 1/3rd cup measure but as you probably know, this is often a messy process and this dispenser could help solve that problem.
