Presto, chango - instant cool griddle? Well, sort of. This is a jumbo sized electric cooktop that will give you a whole lot of room to cook hamburgers, sizzling fajitas, pancakes and pretty much anything that requires a large cooking surface. It’s a non-stick surface which is great, but requires a bit of care not to scratch it up with metal utensils. The “cool touch” attraction is a bit misleading - it’s simply that the edges of the griddle are turned up and cool to the touch. The handles are similarly safe to grab - but the cooking surface does remain hot. Keep that in mind when you’re using it. It should be treated like any hot cooking pan, but the cool edges do provide a small amount of safety protection for the younger ones.

This is a cast aluminum pan with a non-stick surface. There’s a grease “trough” that will channel the grease into a tray that you can remove. The whole thing is about 12 x 24 inches so that’s a good amount of space to work with.
