Griddle Test June 2012
Griddle Test June 2012
We thought it was time we tested a moderately priced griddle in our local area and become familiar with the different griddles that are available. Each of the griddles tested had a non-stick surface that preformed well. The West Bend was our favorite overall for the ease of cleaning, nice even heat and the most desirable pancakes.
