Is the Executive Double Burner Griddle Effective on an Electric Coil Stove?

[kkimpinski]

I am thinking of getting the DBG but I'm not sure how it would work on an electric coil stove. Has anyone used the DBG on this type of stove? Was the heat uniform? Maybe I would be better off getting the 11" Square Griddle. What do you all think?

tia,

Oh good question! My house that I am currently renting has an elec stove, I didn't even think of that! (I can't wait to have my own house with gas!!)

I have the electric burner w/coils. It would be even, if the coils matched. the back one is large, the front is small. But usually what i do is that i look it on the large side, and keep warm in the front. (if i dont have a large crowd).

BUT I LOVE THE GRIDDLE

Hope that helps.

I use mine on a flat top - one is larger coil, back is smaller. I usually have the smaller coil set at 6 and the larger at 4 and it seems to even out very well that way. The griddle seems to do the remaining part of the work to even it out.

Thanks, Janet! You answered my question before I asked it. My DH was wondering how it would work on our flat top that has a small burner in back & a large in front. I really want this griddle! I just bought the 11 in one at 60%off from my open house & can't wait to use that too!

Hmmm...not sure what to do. I guess I could order the DBG and try it. With The Pampered Chef 's great return policy I could always send it back if I don't like it. I am currently using a electric griddle that I got as a wedding shower gift. The coating is starting to peel and it is only 3 years old. (and I never use metal tools on it) I also hate washing the electric griddle.

My cooktop has large/small burners, and I can't control the heat (they're push-button instead of dial controls), but the DBG works pretty well. As Janet posted, I usually have to set the small burner to a higher temp than the large one. (I can't wait to redo the kitchen and get a gas cooktop from this century!)

I've got an elec coil stove top too. I have the prof dbg & do what everyone else is suggesting. It works out just fine for us. Enjoy your cookware!

When you do this for the first time, the easiest way to learn your stove and settings is to cook pancakes and watch them...put one on each end at the same time, watch how fast each cooks, adjust a little, let the temp even out and try again...you'll learn your balance pretty quick.
