Product Description
Rival’s 20.5-inch X 10.5-inch Cool Touch Griddle
Amazon.com
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. –Emily Bedard

LOVE IT!First, I was not expecting it to be as big as it was, which works great because I have a rather large group of boys to feed at any given time. Second, it has some pretty even heating the last one I had was spotty and had texture on the plate…this one is smooth and just all around great. I can fit quite a bit on it!!

Rival 20 griddleAnything that can withstand the abuse of this family for this long and still work properly has to be an excellent product. we have thoroughly enjoyed this product.This item shipped promptly and arrived in good condition.

Rival Griddle good but …..With our boys getting bigger we were having trouble keeping them in hotcake or grilled sandwiches with just a skillet. We saw this griddle on sale at Fred Meyer (Anchorage AK)last April and decided to try it. We have loved it. Really makes break fasts and lunches much handier – especially with guests. And clean up has been very easy.But just lately the griddle won’t get up to temperature to make a decent pancake. Can’t speak to customer / warranty service as I am currently in the process of contacting Rival on this point. We sure haven’t used this item hard and I’m disappointed its acting up so soon.Another weakness is that it can be hard to clean out the drip groove around the edge of the griddle. If it was 1/8 to 1/4 inch wider one could more easily reach into the groove with a wash rag.The last criticism is I wish it was easier to store. Would be great if the legs could fold or something. One thing for sure, if this one is dead we will be getting another griddle (other model or brand??) as this one has been VERY handy to have. We’ll have to see how Rival handles warranty /service request. But at the low initial cost I’m reluctant to pay postage to and from the service center. Most likely cheaper just to buy a new griddle.

not goodI used this griddle for some time and i know it’s weaknesses. The non stick surface wears WAY too soon, and i take care of my surface. Additionally, the unit should be slanted so the grease drains better, although even if it was slanted it’s hard to clean the groove. It is very clumsy to store. I’m looking for a new brand now. The plus is that it is cheap.

Cooks okay but grease drain doesn’t workBacon and pancakes both cook fine but the grease gets all over the counter. Even worse, the 4 support legs are hollow and the grease fills up the legs. I didn’t realize until I unscrewed the frame to give it a good cleaning and found both front legs full of grease.Because the slope of the grease trough is not very steep there is actually a grease level at both ends. The grease overflows the trough into the white frame, then some goes into the legs and some goes onto the counter. If you’re going to cook bacon, cook just a few slices in the middle of the griddle.To clean the grease trough I take the paper towel I use to soak up the bacon grease and use a chopstick to run it through the trough from the end to the middle so the grease ends up in the removable tray.If you only cook pancakes I’d give it 3 stars.

Uneven heat, poor designI just finished my third batch of pancakes on this griddle and I’m ready to send it back. The heat is extremely uneven and it’s nearly impossible to prepare properly-cooked pancakes. Half of the pancake comes out nicely browned while the other half is still white! At the 400 degree setting, temperatures varied from 368 to 420, depending on where the temps were taken on the griddle. This was after a 20-minute preheat.The unit would also be better if it were rectangular instead of having curved top and bottom, at least for pancakes, bacon, and eggs.The grease drip rail is also too narrow to clean easily. It’s difficult to insert a sponge or cloth in the rail and keep it there.The grease cup is too small to cook 1 lb of bacon; grease will run out of the cup and all over your counter if you don’t empty it midway through cooking.Basically, this unit fails at nearly all of the simple things it needs to accomplish to be called a griddle. I’m on the hunt for something better and hoping the store will accept my return.
