Customer Reviews for Presto Tilt and Fold 210 sq. in. Black Electric Griddle with Temperature Sensor

As I tried to plug in the heat control before reading the instructions, I notice a very smart safety feature included in the design of this griddle. You cannot plug the heat control in without unfolding the legs. This prevents heating the griddle too close to a surface. Not only does this griddle have a tilt feature for drainage of grease, but there appears to be a slight slope built into the griddle so that the grease will drain to the center and into the tray, rather than collecting along the side. This also helps when cleaning the griddle. The heat control takes the guess work out of cooking heat sensitive items such as pancakes and sandwiches, especially with the temperature – timetable in the instructions. The griddle fits perfectly on my stove. My favorite pancakes fill the plate, and I can cook two at a time on this griddle. For the first three days I cooked every meal on this griddle.

This little Presto Tilt-N-Fold griddle is fantastic. 1200 Watts of heating power with a removable control that just pulls out with temp settings from WARM to 400 degrees. The entire griddle, minus the power cord and control is immersible making for easy clean-up. The folding legs are really handy when there are storage space limitations and who does not have that problem. My wife got a whole lb of bacon on it at one time which made her really happy. We did not tip the griddle right away because the bacon cooks better in grease than without but it was so easy to use the tilt legs when she was ready to drain it off. They also have a nice rim all around the griddle except for the grease hole so grease will only go to the drip pan. Truly non stick too.

We really like how thin this griddle is. The fold-up legs makes it great for storage. There is also another set of pop-down legs that allows you to elevate the back of the griddle about one inch higher than the front. The slope allows grease etc to run down to a plastic catch-tray at the front. The catch tray is removes easily for cleaning. The unit easy to clean and can be fully immersed in water after disconnecting the removable cord/temperature control dial. The pan is flat with just a small ridge (~1/4 inch) around the cooking surface perimeter. This allows unencumbered spatula access to the cook surface so you can easily flip eggs, pancakes, bacon, etc. The ridge also channels liquids forward to the catch tray. The griddle heats up quickly (about a minute or so). We cooked 3 batches of pancakes, and per the instructions, we did NOT use any non-stick spray. We had no food sticking issues. We used small sized pan lid to cook the top side of some eggs (so you don't have to flip them & risk breaking the yolk). It cooks eggs quite well. The manual comes with a handy quick-reference temperature/timetable guide for cooking various foods. We copied it, laminated it with contact paper, and tied it to the cord. Eggs-over-easy (i.e. actually flipping them) worked great. Adding/melting cheese to the top side of the eggs worked fine as well. Again, we had no food sticking issues. The price ($40) is quite reasonable.

I want to love this griddle but can not.... it is so poorly designed. 1 The drip tray goes side to side instead of front to back and the indentation for the handle restricts debris from cooking to enter the tray. If you cook a full package of bacon the drip tray can not handle the amount of grease and you have to handle a very hot, very full tray. 2 The power port is in the back of the griddle so you have to have the griddle towards the edge of the counter making it dangerous for households with young curious children. 3 Not enough plastic around the griddle so you will be more prone to burns when working around the griddle, the front edge is totally exposed which also transfers heat to the drip tray. Before this we had a Big Daddy griddle from presto and it was perfect but this model falls short in safety.

Very nice and can cook several items on it

The cooking surface is large and able to accommodate many pancakes or grilled sandwiches. It worked great and the food did not stick at all.

The size is perfect for a family breakfast it’s easy to clean and store.

The grill seemed great and like it would work well. On the item we received, one of the tilt and fold feet would not stay locked in place when not in tilt mode. While it wouldn't have affected the use of the grill it was bothersome to have it always dropping out of place. We returned the item and was disappointed we weren't able to use the grill. We heard great things about it.

Great for its price, only used it once so far but heated up nicely and cooked hashbrowns, sausage, bacon, onions, peppers and tomatoes for a skillet perfectly! The drip tray was smaller than expected but not a big deal, just be wary if cooking a lot of bacon or high-grease item. The heat surface was different than expected, the bottom seemed to hold the most heat but knowing that I was able to move items around to cook, and then leave at the top to keep warm but not burn them. Overall I dig it, worked well and super easy to clean. Hoping to make pancake art next Sunday and then try cheesesteaks! Though I may ruin the nonstick finish with those... but that is really what I got it for.

Big area! Cleans easy! So far durable!

Basic unit delivers heat pretty evenly. Good idea with the "Tilting Legs" works good. Control not calibrated to surface temp.

Great size…cooks evenly…easy to clean

The size is just what I wanted but it only heats around the outside edge we preheated it for 10 minutes and pancakes did not cook even .We will be returning it

Really like size and works well. Major problem, however, is the drip pan falls out easily and due to being made from cheap plastic breaks easily. Drip pan brike on second use.

Works great for any meal!

The tilt and fold feature is very nice. The heat could be more even.

Works great. I'm able to make sausage and eggs on here no problem. Cook taco meat and warm the tortillas at the same time. A little bit smaller than I expected but I'm very happy with my purchase and use it all the time.

The folding legs do not lock into place either up or down. And the tilting levers are pretty cheesy.

This griddle is excellent. Love the folding legs. Makes it so much easier to store. The size is just right for us. Heats evenly, making cooking a breeze. Love the temperature gauge. Easy cleanup!

I’ve only used it 3 times since it was purchased, however it does have plenty of cooking surface. It’s going to take me some time to learn which is the correct temperature setting for what I’m cooking.

Excellent and received on time.
