Zojirushi EA-DCC10 Gourmet Sizzler Electric Griddle,Stainless Brown Extra Large

I'm updating my original review. I have come to love this griddle. After 30+ years of using many griddles, this has proven to be the best of them all. Its costly for sure, but you absolutely wont find a better griddle that heats evenly with great non-stick. I get the reviews about the exact temperature of the settings, no issues, I jest set it lower... I'm the grandpa who makes the worlds best pancakes... Perfect $160 for an Electric Griddle, just completely crazy, but I decided to buy this for two advertised features. Ever heat distribution and easy to clean, and one feature important to me with the higher sides but not as high as a large electric skillet. Yes the temperature was even. I used a scanning laser thermometer and cooked french toast this morning. Set the temperature to 350 and let it preheat. the temperature varied 5-12 degrees edge to edge, end to end... perfect Not perfect is that when set to 350 the temp was 405 degrees, so I adjusted to 300 to accomplish my goal. Six slices of toast were cooked even with no hot spots whatsoever, a lifetime first and worth a premium. Yes it was very easy to clean but with four 20" components it took up some counter space to dry. The quality is medium and will take special care not to damage but not cheap and flimsy, this is where the cost was excessive, for this much I expected a substantial build. each component will flex easily except the cooking plate, this is solid but has a very warning to not drop it.. I think I'm an idiot for spending this much, but every once in a while ??

You can see from the picture that this griddle cooks evenly. I have been searching for a great griddle and finally found one with this griddle. Pros: - Heat is distributed evenly. - Griddle separates from body for easy cleaning. - Deep sidewalls to keep the food from sliding off. - Surface does not stick. - Plug locks in grilling surface. - Outside will not burn you while cooking. Cons: - Base is large and hard to store. - Slow to heat up. - Temperature runs hotter than dial shows. Overall review is that I love the griddle and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great griddle.

This griddle is perfect. The temperature is very even across the bottom. We made the best bacon ever today with a pound laid across it. Keep the temperature almost high to drive the water off, turn it down and cook the slices to lightly browned, crisp cards. For breakfast it cooked up a dozen eggs, leftover salmon filet, and scoops of wild rice into a nice scramble. The depth of the griddle works well for this. And it makes perfect pancakes. The design is smart. The griddle doesn't go in the dishwasher, but three pieces of the stack hand wash easily. And the fourth part of the stack, with the electric element, is well protected from splatter - so doesn't need to be washed.

I have had several griddles before and all of them heated unevenly burning food on one side. This type of uneven heating would damage the griddle surface in no time at all even when I kept the temperature lower. I have had Zojirushi EA-DCC10 for about a month or so and I have used it a lot. I've made pancakes that were evenly and perfectly brown. I have made chipotle chicken and stir-fried onions and peppers. I have made hamburgers and grilled peppers, and so much more. All of it has been perfect. The griddle heats very evenly and cooks beautifully. Cleaning is a breeze. Take the griddle off, wash it in warm water with soap and food cleans off easily with little to no scrubbing. The griddle sits on top of the heating element which sits inside a plastic base which keeps one from burning their hands. It also comes with a lid, which fits very loosely and is quite thin, but does help keeps the warmth in and around the food you are cooking. It sure beats laying aluminum foil over the food on the other griddles to keep splatter from going all over the place. This is a great product.

It's very hard to find a good griddle. The usual problems are bad heat control, bad heat uniformity, or annoying to clean, or all of the above. This one is great to clean. The heat uniformity is very good. But the heat control is still only so-so. The temperature overshoots to 400+ degrees F when pre-heating it at 300. The instructions tell you to pre-heat it for 8 minutes, which might be enough time to get you past the overshoot, but it's pretty annoying to have the thing smoking and sizzling because of being 420 degrees when you just wanted it to heat to 300. Plus that's a long time to wait. Second, it's not designed for use at lower temperatures. The lowest temperature setting is 300, but I like to cook eggs at 250. You can set the dial lower than 300, but the temperature control isn't good and swings between 250 and 300 as the element kicks on and off. This is usable but not ideal. I had hoped some company would have cracked the code of an electric griddle that does the one thing you want an electric griddle to do...heat up correctly. It's still better than anything else I've found so I'm keeping it. I just can't give it all 5 stars because of the temperature control is still not quite there.

***UPDATE*** Im leaving my reviews at 5 stars because I love this product, but I cannot recommend buying it through this seller. They are not an authorized dealer so the manufacturer won’t honor their warranty. *** No, it's not just a griddle, how dare you! It's a work or art! Okay, it's just a griddle, but it a REALLY good griddle and I've been looking around for a long time. Bought and returned a few (sorry Amazon), but I finally bit the bullet and spent more than I would have ever thought. but it was totally worth it. Some of the things that make this so great... The burner isn't attached to the cooking surface so it heats the air underneath and that creates a very even cooking surface. How about pancakes that look like pancakes and not rorschach tests, but rather golden brown? Clean up. Clean up is another amazing feature because it comes apart completely. The base, burner, cook surface all come apart allowing you to use soap and water and not just wipe things down. One note! The base is hollow, so you can clean it but be careful because if you run water directly on it, you will get water taped inside. Learned the hard way and had to take it apart to dry. The lid. I was standing over an entire pack of bacon snapping grease spits of death when I remembered, duh, a lid. No moe burns. The cord. Ever notice that your griddle either forces you to use an extension cord or somehow have a custom griddle spot on your counter with an outlet 1 foot from the griddle? This comes with a nice long cord that actually lock in and when it's locked it also locks in the cooking surface. My last griddle, on the first use I wasn't thinking and used a metal spatula. Big scratch, right out the gate. This COMES with a metal spatula. It's not a delicate non-stick surface. It's heavy duty. Flip and smash those burgers! I had family over and I was working the line like a pro, cooking for 6, 3 cakes at a time then into the oven to stay warm. Bacon on one side. Hash on the other (little bacon grease seeps into the hash, gotta love it). I t was actually fun to cook for 6 people. As you can see I've completely geeked out over this. I love cooking and I love when I get an kitchen item that really improves the experience. Air Fryer. Instant Pot. A griddle that can actually handle restaurant style cooking. You're in the hall of fame. Stop looking. Spend the extra.

This is absolutely the best griddle ever. For example, the surface is large enough to cook a meal of meat, potatoes and eggs for four all at the same time. It is super, super easy to clean. We read a review before we purchased about the odor or toxic fumes that came from it upon first use. This did not detour us. This looked just like the product we had been looking for, so when we unboxed it, we heated it up, made a batch of pancake mix that covered the entire surface, cooked it - and wallah - we were in business. We really didn't notice an odor, ha ha, we just wanted to cook the biggest pancake ever! It turned out absolutely perfect. It cooked evenly on every section of the surface. We didn't eat the pancake, we just used it to test surface temperature all around the pan, and to remove anything from the factory they might have added after manufacturing. Eggs are so non-stick, you have to have rapid speed to get that spatula under it without pushing it to the edge. I think we are going to purchase another one to put away in the pantry in case anything happens to this one, then we will have a spare. If we don't get to open it before we die, only two of my three kids will have a Zojirushi Gourmet Griddle:) Maybe I should buy two to put in the pantry! Anyway, this is such a fabulous product we also bought the Zojirushi EP-RAC50 Gourmet d'Expert 1350-Watt Electric Skillet. Now I am looking at their travel mugs! Just happy, happy, happy about Zojirushi!

I used it for the first time. And I have to say it's great. Holds a lot of food. I don't notice any spots that are hotter than other spots. Seems to get the same temperature all around. I know some people did say that it overheats. However, I haven't had that issue thus far. When it gets to a certain temp. The light shuts off and it heats up again. If you're cooking wingettes or boneless skinless chicken thighs. I suggest you put the top on and keep it 300 degrees or less as it does heat up quick. Happy cooking!!!

I bought this electric griddle after my third one (other brands) in 5 years broke on me. I hadn't been all that happy with the past ones (as the heat distribution was awful). I was "this" close to giving up on electric griddles entirely, but really liked that this Zojirushi griddle has an element that really covers the entire cooking area. So I figured it would be worth the higher cost. Turns out I was absolutely right - the griddle does have very good heat distribution (no more "musical chairs" with pancakes to keep them cooking evenly!) The griddle also has plenty of power - I haven't had to cook at a temperature beyond the pre-heat range yet (with other griddles, I sometimes doubted that they ever got up to temperature). You're supposed to pre-heat the griddle for 8 minutes, which makes a real difference to the heat distribution, as well - that's enough time to pre-heat while you mix up pancakes. I love that the griddle plate has high sides, which makes turning food much easier, and makes it possible to use the griddle for foods beyond pancakes. While the Zodoesn't have the grease drain like other electric griddles, you can make gravy or sauces while cooking your food. I also find I use less oil in this pan because it doesn't all drain away. The pieces are so easy to clean - everything comes apart, and you don't ever have to immerse the element part in water. The lid is is very useful for evenly cooking meat or thicker foods, as it traps the heat. Probably more energy efficient that way, too. The lid is a bit light - it would be very easy to bend it if you're not careful (don't put anything heavy on top of it) - and you have to be careful when lifting it because there's no central knob on top, and you have to lift from the ends. Make sure to lift the lid open AWAY from you to avoid getting steam in your face. (If I had any suggestions on product improvement, it would be to make the lid sturdier, add a handle on top for lifting, and put in a steam vent.) All told, I'm very happy with my Zojirushi griddle and would recommend it over any other griddle I've tried (and I've had at least 7-8 over the past 15 years).

great device, is well made, cooks very evenly everywhere. Heats up a bit slow. Lid doesn't seem to fit perfectly everytime, its kind of loose and just sits on the top of each corner a small amount. . The only other negative i have is there really isn't anywhere for the extra oil or scraps to go when cooking. For instance if you cook a pack of bacon after you have all that grease leftover and you can't just pick up the device and dump the grease into a cup cause its all plugged in. I found myself unplugging it, putting on oven mits, picking up the middle insert and then dumping it.

After extensive research, I decided to invest in the Zojirushi Gourmet Sizzler Electric Griddle, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. This griddle stands out as the best option on the market, and it exceeded my expectations upon arrival. The extra-large cooking surface provides ample space for preparing breakfast favorites like pancakes, bacon, and eggs, making it perfect for family gatherings or weekend brunches. The even heat distribution ensures consistent cooking results every time, and the adjustable temperature settings allow for precise control over the cooking process. What's more, the Zojirushi griddle's versatility extends beyond the kitchen – I'm excited to take it camping this summer for outdoor cooking adventures. Its durable construction and portable design make it the ideal companion for any outdoor excursion. Overall, I highly recommend the Zojirushi Gourmet Sizzler Electric Griddle to anyone in search of a high-quality, versatile cooking appliance. Whether you're whipping up breakfast at home or grilling on the go, this griddle delivers exceptional performance and reliability.

We absolutely loved this griddle. Far superior over the Teflon griddles we have had in the past. Nice even cooking. We have used the hell out of this griddle to the point where we are starting to notice some sticking. I understand you can get a replacement pan for these, however, in my searching, have found that all the replacement griddle pans are “sold out”. Not sure if that’s a ploy to buy a new unit, but not happy none are available and a new griddle has gone up quite a bit in cost since we bought ours. It is still useable but with sticking, it’s a bit tougher to clean. I would have given it 5 stars if not for this. It’s lasted 4 years.

This is a super expensive frying griddle. It doesn’t have a hole (which some reviews take as a negative and I think is a POSITIVE). It’s easy to clean, but will not fit in most dishwashers (for me, it will but as the ONLY thing on the bottom rack). I bought it right as covid hit and my Dad made fun of my “$200 griddle”. After multiple uses at the cottage, he came to me and asked where I got it and if I could get him one. Both of them heat evenly and cook a variety of things. The lid is awesome for heating stuff quickly and then using as a “keep warm” function for stuff like taco meat. I have used this for way more than the pan it replaced, and often its just left on the counter from breakfast for heating simple things for lunch. Cons: Its really big Pros: Its really big You will like it.
