I have the George Forman model also, half is a griddle half grill machine, it is non stick so it cleans up in an instante. I highly recommend this model for any clean freak I know, nothing seams to stick to it!!!

I've got a Presto one that I bought a few weeks ago. And I like it! And yes, I DID make some panacakes with it!! You're getting me hungry for some more pancakes again!!!! Haha!!

Just yesterday, I cooked some turkey bacon and some fried eggs with it!

To my recollection, ALL electric griddles come with a non-stick-coated surface and a removable heat control that allows you to dunk the unit into the sink for easy cleaning.

Just make sure the heat control is unplugged from the unit first, to avoid being dangerously electrocuted.

I just got the Presto griddle at Walmart and is is dish washer safe. It is 14 inches by 15 inches and holds a lot of stuff. Bacon came out perfect even with out a press. The drip tray is really deep also so the grease doesn't spill when you pull it out to empty it. Now I need some new ideas for things to cook aside from the usual eggs, pancakes, potatoes, etc.

I have a cast iron griddle that fits over the burner on my stove. Griddles are great for large families because you have a much larger cooking surface and can do several foods at once. Ask any fry cook. You could even do a pizza using a piece of aluminum foil as a tent to trap the heat. Mongolian BBQ/Stir-Fry type cooking, Panini's, grilled cheese sandwiches, hamburgers, hot dogs, ham steaks and other thin meats, pan breads, and of course hashbrowns, sausage, eggs, and pancakes.

If you have room you could even use it to heat vegetables still in the can. Just open the top for venting and sit on the griddle.

I was going to order the square bacon pan from QVC with the square matching glass press. Now I am glad that I didn't. My new griddle is much bigger and works great. The front legs slide out so it drains well with meats and slides back in for a flat surface. The whole thing is dishwasher safe also. I am going to try pork chops tonight.
