Whether you're craving steak and steamed vegetables or pancakes and bacon, this non-stick griddle sears, steams, sautés and grills to perfection. With the heating element built directly into the cast aluminum cooking surface, the griddle offers even and consistent heat and precise temperature control. The vented stainless steel lid allows you to steam seafood and vegetables or to brown and steam potstickers. An opening on the cooking surface drains excess liquid or oil into the stainless steel drip tray, which removes for easy cleaning in the dishwasher. When cooking is complete, the cord wraps around the back of the griddle for neat storage.
