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.
If you are looking for a griddle and often have to juggle two pans to accommodate one recipe, this product is for you. Make sure you have a large enough storage area for it, though, as you don’t want your other metal pans to scratch the non-stick surface. (I store mine on its side in one of my deeper cabinets.) From handle to handle, the pan measures 23″; it is about 11″ wide.
As griddles go, this is one of the best. Don’t settle for a thin-walled one if you are a serious cook.
Great camping griddle – James G. Gibson – Woodbridge, VA United States
Bought this to use with a propane camp stove on an extended canoe trip with a party of four. Made breakfast very easy. Easily cooked several pancakes at a time. Raised sides kept eggs for omelets from overflowing. Nonstick was very good. Cleanup required minimum effort – only had to wipe down after it cooled. Heat distributed fairly evenly. In ordinary life, I use it successfully on a ceramic cook top. Buy at your local Target to save shipping costs.
