It’s hard to beat the quality of food cooked on a griddle, whether it’s bacon and eggs, sausages, pancakes, or many other delectable options. There’s just something about that breakfast or dinner that arrives fresh off the griddle and onto your plate. Even folk singer John Denver thought having cakes on the griddle was an essential part of making life complete, popularizing it in his famous song, “Thank God I’m a country boy.”
Extra-long model
“Presto” means “soon” in Italian, and that’s exactly how quickly you’ll be serving up a hot meal with this electric griddle. The model from Presto features a special textured ceramic non-stick cooking surface, which makes flipping your bacon or fish filets a cinch, and also makes for easier cleaning. The removable handles allow for easy storage and excellent portability. Its heavy-cast aluminum construction means this griddle is virtually warp-proof.
