A wide nonstick griddle for family breakfasts that comes apart for the dishwasher. Heat is set on a dial with no stated temperatures, so dialing in pancakes takes a test batch.

Overview
Mainstays builds this electric griddle around a die-cast aluminum plate with a nonstick coating. A removable thermostat with an adjustable dial sets the heat, grease runs into a lower tray, and rounded feet balance it on the counter.
Cleanup is the strongest argument: unplug the thermostat, lift the plate off and send it through the dishwasher. Dial positions are not given in degrees, so you learn the settings by cooking.
Who it's for
Weekend breakfasts for a full table are where a wide single surface earns its counter space. Someone cooking for one may find the size more than they need to store.
Pros and cons
- Wide surface cooks several items together
- Plate detaches for the dishwasher
- Removable grease tray
- Coating free of PFAS and PFOA
- Temperatures on the dial not listed
- Wide footprint needs counter space
- Thermostat must come off before washing
Performance notes
Even browning depends on how the die-cast aluminum plate spreads heat from the element across its width. The removable thermostat switches the element on and off to hold the dial setting. Grease draining into the lower tray stops food from frying in its own fat.
