Editorial Review

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

Summary:	Like another reviewer here, mine warped
Comment:	I love the pan, and used it a lot. Great for eggs, sandwiches, etc. Like another reviewer here, I have a glass-topped, electric range. The pan warped significantly- it will no longer lie flat on the range and that makes the heat uneven. After about a year of use, the non-stick finish is wearing off in some spots as well. So, it can be a nice, functional pan, but be sure to use only medium-high heat under it- especially if you have an electric range. And if you want the non-stick to last, you must be very careful in cleaning it. (Keep it away from teenagers!).

Summary:	Calphalon griddle
Comment:	I appreciate the handle attachment, which is stronger than a less expensive model. This is a good heavy pan, well balanced.

Summary:	Great for Pancakes and Grilled Cheese Sandies
Comment:	This pan replaced a cheaper model of square griddle that I used mostly for pancakes and bacon and eggs. So far this product has been excellent. I have used it for pancakes and grilled cheese sandwiches which came out perfect. The heat distribution is perfect. I recommend this product to everyone who likes their pancakes and grilled cheese sandwiches evenly toasted.

Summary:	surface peeling
Comment:	I have used this griddle for about a year. The surface is now blistering and peeling. I am going to return it directly to the manufacturer and hope that the new one is better performing.
