About Blackstone 22-Inch Electric Griddle
Overall Feedback:
78% positive
70% liked the cooking surface area, though 30% found it small
It still works well, but not suitable for searing steak.
I have complained that the cooking surface affects the performance of the unit by not being flat.
I faced an issue with the cooking surface area of my electric-griddle. The normally flat surface bubbled up when hot and the onions slid over to the edge. I also read reviews online that a lot of people experienced the same thing - eggs would run to the edges. Even replacements had the same problem. Thus, I sent it back and am buying another inexpensive product.
71% liked the durable construction, but 29% experienced wear and tear
The griddle detaches easily from the electrical base, making it easy to clean up if there is a spill.
The electric-griddle has held up fairly well despite heavy use. However, there are some dark discolored spots on the non-stick cooktop that have developed and the Blackstone logo is starting to come off the handle of the lid.
68% praised the even heat distribution, while 32% experienced hotspots
The heat distribution was not up to the mark.
It takes a long time for me to reach the desired temperature.
I am not sure if the electric griddle is powerful enough or if the gap between the heating elements is causing it to struggle to reach 350 degrees.
73% appreciated the non-stick surface, but 27% didn't
I have complained about the non-stick surface of the electric griddle. It is not suitable for griddles as it cannot be used with metal instruments like a spatula or a metal knife. The surface gets ruined if a metal knife is used.
The non-stick surface of my electric griddle bubbled up when hot and the onions slid over to the edge twice while cooking.
73% liked the portability, though 27% found it heavy
I bought the griddle with the stand/cart that holds it and definitely recommend it. It's pretty huge and requires a ton of counter space, but with the cart, it's a nice standalone appliance that can easily be rolled around and stored out of the way.
The handle on the lid has a bow in the plastic, indicating poor portability of the electric-griddle.
68% praised the temperature control, but 32% experienced inconsistencies
The electric-griddle has a major flaw with its temperature control. When an item is placed on the unit, the temperature drops dramatically, which is problematic if I'm trying to sear a steak as it ends up being sauted instead.
As soon as I put food on the griddle, it drops to 250F and never increases the temperature again.
My biggest complaint is that the cooktop has a hard time maintaining its temperature.
The griddle does not heat up properly, regardless of the temperature set, and stays at around 250 degrees.
