West Bend 76220 20 by 10 Inch Griddle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Our previous non-stick giddle was nearly identical in shape, size, and contruction. (I can't recall the manufacturer -Presto?) The old griddle was die cast aluminum with the "heat tape" pressed into a serpentine channel cast into the underside.
The underside appearance of this new West Bend griddle is the same but the serpentine "heat tape" is fully encapsulated in the aluminum... probably inserted into the die cast tool prior to injection of the aluminum.
I suspect this is why the West Bend griddle has superior heat distribution.
Probably like many dads, I use the griddle for pancakes every Sunday morning. My wife uses it throughout the week. We both agree that to date, this is the best griddle we've owned.

UPDATE: It's now 20 months later and the griddle is wore out. The surface is fine, but the electrical plug/receptacle is no longer usable. The three-fingered contacts on the plug/receptacle are very corroded (I always use the griddle at 375°F). The contacts get very warm during operation and have begun to melt the nearby plastic resulting in a terrible smell during use (not very appetizing). The contacts also spark and crackle during operation. Considering today's price and an estimated usage of 1-1/2 times per week, I guess the cost is only about $0.50 per use...so I'm going to order another one, but I'm not happy about the short life of the contacts. Are you listening West Bend?
