Useless griddle
Horrible griddle. Takes forever to cook bacon. I like the removeable plate idea but the rest is useless.
HORRIBLE
After receiving this griddle for Christmas and using it and having everything stick. I decided to come online and email Rival along with trying to find reviews. I found what I was looking for and it sounds like we aren't alone in the dislike in Rival GR225 10-by-20-Inch Electric Griddle with Removable Nonstick Plate. I agree with everything I have read the only thing I haven't done is throw my grill away. I'm currently going to do some research on a new grill before buying a new one you can bet that it won't be a Rival product.
Nothing good to report about the Rival GR225 griddle
I bought this one on a whim on sale at a local store (not Amazon). I figured, how different can electric griddles be in the $30-$40 range? I was replacing a Presto foldup model I had for a few years that worked well, but was difficult to keep clean. Well, as it turns out, there is quite a bit of difference in griddles in this range. I can't vouch for a single feature on this model. The cooking surface is very poor grade teflon that has some sticking when it is brand new (properly prepared, of course). The thermostat is dreadful. Nowhere on the cooking surface reached the stated 400 degrees. Pancakes took forever to cook over the low temp resulting in pancakes that were dry. Luckily, I can still return this griddle after a week of trying to ... Read More
Don't bother
I got this griddle to make pancakes for the kids (figured with that much room they could help out) and all I can say is what a waste! The griddle doesn't heat properly so they never really cooked and the parts that did cook took forever (and this was on the highest setting leaving the pancakes on for well over 15 minutes - they can out a very light tan). Everything stuck to the plate and it was impossible to flip. Not worth the money or the effort.
Awful!
I wish I'd read these reviews before buying this item somewhere else. Everything stuck, it didn't clean in the dishwasher, the finish bubbled up after 1 washing, and the button to remove the griddle plate broke after the first use. I've liked other Rival products, but this one is really just poorly made and does not work.
