T-fal Ultimate Hard Anodized Nonstick Griddle 10.25 Inch Oven Broiler Safe 500F Cookware, Pots and Pans, Dishwasher Safe Grey

I have a pan that is T FAL brand, which I love, so I decided to get the same brand in the pancake pan and I absolutely love it. It cooks just like my other T Fal pan.

Blue Diamond vs T-fal. I bought a blue Diamond pan first because it was cheaper, then I bought a T-Fal. The blue Diamond is thicker aluminum, larger, and looks more durable. But the finish isn’t nonstick. Food slides right off the T-Fal, but adheres to the Blue Diamond, even with an immaculately clean, oiled pan. See the attached photo after cooking an egg on each, the Blue Diamond is on the left. I used PAM spray on the Blue Diamond which left a sticky black stain, which I could remove without scratching the finish. Apparently that coating reacts with the lecithin in cooking oil sprays. Avoid spray oils on ceramic cookware!

For some reason the one that came in my full set of T-FAL cookware was bent and wouldn't lie flat so was useless. Replacement seems fine so far but hasn't gotten much use and I hope it doesn't bend so it continues to sit flat on my glass-top range. Would be nice if the sides were a little higher to make Japanese omelettes and not worry about flipping a pancake and having it go over the very short edge.

I have a T-Fal skillet which I have had for years. I use it almost every day and sometimes twice.

My previous griddle was much heavier and I had to make an adjustment in how fast this one gets up to cooking readiness. Now I am very happy. I use if for sandwiches, bread, and pancakes. It heats quickly but evenly. I haven't put it in the oven yet but don't expect to need that feature.

I Love T-Fal as a brand. I've switched and replaced all my old cookware with this brand. Everything just slides right off after a light spray of oil and nothing sticks, not even burnt cheese, making it super easy to clean. I will continue to use T-Fal products in the future.

Do not purchase this item. The actual griddle is nothing like the illustration in the Amazon listing. The listing pictures a heavy pan with the typical T-Fal texture. The actual griddle has a smooth surface and is made of very light metal. The indicator never turns to indicate proper heat and it conducts heat unevenly.
