Whether you're in the mood for a morning flapjack or an evening fajita, this 11-inch griddle from Calphalon is up to the task. It fits comfortably on a gas or electric burner and is specially designed to evenly cook your favorite flat foods. Like all Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick cookware, the griddle features an exclusive heavy-gauge, hard-anodized aluminum exterior with a nonstick top surface, delivering a stable-heating, durable product that cleans up quickly. It's ideal for both slow- and fast-cooking, as the griddle heats gently and uniformly, allowing you to slowly warm your pancake batter or sear your beef cuts at high temperatures. It's also a great presentation piece, as the griddle features an elegantly arched handle that stays cool on the stovetop or in the oven (the griddle is oven-safe to 450 degrees F). The unit is not dishwasher safe, however, so hand washing is recommended. The cookware includes a lifetime warranty. --Rivers Janssen

Another Calphalon Griddle (2010-07-21)
We have been using Calphalon griddles for many years and like them. They heat up quickly, hold the temperature, and clean up easily. These griddles are well worth the money.
Works well! (2010-07-14)
I've had this for about a month, like it a lot! No problems with sticking, non-stick flaking off, pan not staying flat, uneven heat, etc. Nice that it can go in the oven if needed! Very sturdy; I find it somewhat clumsy though - the handle is quite long and can easily hang over another burner, so if I want another pan in that slot I have to turn the griddle at an angle. Old griddle had a more convenient handle (not much else nice to say about it, though). The handle also makes it hard to hang on the pot rack - with the old griddle it had a thin 'ring' on the end of the handle and allowed several pots onto the same hook; this handle is thicker and rigid and putting two pans on the same hook is a recipe for one of them falling on the floor (or foot). I have a new fry pan that just fell and dented itself for this same reason. Need to find more hooks sometime soon. Anyway, cooking is great with this griddle, just the ergonomics of the handle are going to take some adjustment.
great griddle (2010-05-22)
This is great for bacon or making grilled cheese sandwichs, does pancakes quick also. Does not stick and fits the burner perfectley.
Want a true non-stick? (2010-04-19)
I have had many 'non-stick' griddles in my lifetime and they have gone to griddle heaven. This griddle is great. I cook eggs (fry & omelets) on it without oil, butter, or any lubricant. They cook in a minute on low-medium after the pan is warmed up first as the directions state. It cleans off with the wipe of a paper towel. Of course, later I wash it too! For your information, you can cook other things on it to if you wish, I do.
