Let me start by saying this Bella Electric Griddle has completely transformed my morning routine. As someone who makes breakfast for a family of four daily, this griddle is a LIFESAVER.
The 10" x 18" nonstick surface is MAGIC - I can cook 8 pancakes simultaneously without any sticking. Compared to my old stove-top griddle (RIP), this cuts my cooking time in half. The ceramic coating really delivers on its non-stick promise - cleanup takes seconds with just a paper towel wipe.
What I love most:
- The adjustable temperature dial gives perfect control (though it runs hot - 350°F works better than the recommended 400°F)
- Heats up crazy fast - no more waiting around
- Cool-touch handles prevent burns during cooking
- Dishwasher safe (though I rarely need it)
The warming tray is handy but small - great for keeping sausage patties warm but not large enough for multiple pancakes. The removable drip tray makes cleanup of greasy foods like bacon super easy.
One heads-up: The power cord is short, so you'll need an outlet nearby. Also, international buyers beware - some units ship with US voltage (120V) despite being ordered from UK sites.
After testing everything from pancakes to steak, I can confidently say this is one of my most-used kitchen appliances. For $60, the quality and performance are outstanding. If you cook breakfast regularly, this will quickly become your kitchen MVP.
