A handy tool for large family breakfasts, this Rival Cool Touch electric griddle is generous in surface area and simple to clean. The cooking surface measures 20-1/2 by 10-1/2 inches, large enough for pancakes, sausages, and hash browns. Its non-stick coating helps keep food from sticking, minimizes the need for fat, and speeds cleanup. Resting on its raised frame, the griddle features Cool Touch handles and edges to protect fingers and countertops. A raised griddle edge on three sides directs drippings toward the built-in grease trough that drains into a removable tray. An improvement on the designs of yesterday, the griddle is completely immersible once the temperature control is removed. It even goes in the dishwasher. The control itself has a ready light and a wide menu of settings, conveniently marked with Fahrenheit temperatures up to 425 degrees. Though its size is welcome in use, the griddle does require a lot of cupboard space, as it measures 25 by 12-1/2 inches from end to end. Rival includes a one-year warranty.

Ideal for taking along to a weekend cabin or storing in a small kitchen, this large griddle folds in half for compact, upright storage. When fully opened, the cooking surface measures a generous 21 by 10 inches, with a grease-channel around the perimeter and a removable drip tray. The two smooth-finish, nonstick plates cook up everything from eggs to grilled cheese sandwiches to hotdogs and hamburgers, and remove for convenient cleaning in the dishwasher.
Dual control knobs, one for each half, give this griddle extra versatility. Pancakes can cook on one side and stay warm on the other, or eggs and sausage can cook simultaneously at different temperatures. Each side features its own red 'on' light, and a knob that can be positioned infinitely up to 400 degrees F with marked settings every 25 degrees. For safety, a release button must be pushed before the open grill can be folded and closed. Cool-touch housing covers the outside and the handles that latch together. A cord wrap stows the 32-inch power cord neatly. When folded, the unit measures 14-1/4 by 13 by 5-1/2 inches.
