Overview
A removable ceramic plate is the heart of this Hamilton Beach Durathon griddle: it lifts off the base and turns around so the cord can plug in from either side. Heat is set with a dial on the power cord, and the nonstick coating is made without PTFE or PFOA.
Being able to put the cooking plate straight into the dishwasher removes the worst chore of griddle cooking. Hamilton Beach gives only a generic limited warranty, and the long body can be awkward to store.
Who it's for
Pancake mornings, grilled sandwiches and batch cooking for a household, with the plate going into the dishwasher afterward. Cooks wanting ridged plates for searing should look at another model.
Pros and cons
- Plate lifts off for the dishwasher
- Reversible so the cord fits either side
- Coating free of PTFE and PFOA
- Temperature dial on the power cord
- Long body needs wide storage
- Warranty length not listed
- Flat plate only, no grill ridges
- Plastic used in the build
Performance notes
Even browning depends on the heating element under the plate and how long it preheats before batter goes on. Ceramic nonstick releases food more cleanly with a light coat of oil and moderate heat, and very high heat wears any nonstick surface sooner.
