Hey there, kitchen friends!
If you’re anything like me, you probably spend more time flipping pancakes than folding laundry (oops). And let me tell you—once you start using a table top griddle, there’s no going back. Whether you’re feeding a brunch crowd or sneaking in a midnight grilled cheese, a good electric griddle is a serious kitchen upgrade.
Over the past few weeks, I tested three standout models from Amazon—each with its own vibe. Whether you’re looking for a portable griddle, a sleek ceramic griddle, or something large enough for family feasts, there’s an option here for you.
Let’s dig in!
1. Chefman Electric Griddle – Budget-Friendly, Big Flavor
The Chefman was the first griddle I tried, and honestly? It exceeded expectations. It’s affordable, compact, and perfect for first-time griddle users or anyone who needs a small griddle that still packs a punch.
Pros:
- Fully immersible (just remove the temp probe!)
- Non-stick cooktop griddle surface = no scrubbing
- Lightweight and easy to store
Cons:
- Slightly uneven heat around the edges
- Dial could be more accurate
This is a great pick for students, couples, or anyone short on space. It’s not a commercial griddle, but for home use, it totally holds its own.

2. Presto 22-inch Electric Griddle – Perfect for Big Breakfasts
If you’re feeding a crowd, the Presto electric griddle is your new best friend. This thing is huge—I felt like a brunch chef whipping up pancakes, eggs, sausage, and hash browns at the same time.
Pros:
- 22″ surface = batch cooking dream
- Removable handles make storage easier
- Consistent, even heating throughout
Cons:
- Takes up lots of counter space
- Drip tray could be larger
While it’s not as compact as a little griddle, it’s unbeatable for families or anyone who loves hosting. Definitely a step up from a basic cooktop griddle.

3. BELLA Healthy Eco Ceramic Griddle – Eco-Luxe Cooking
The BELLA griddle is for my fellow style- and sustainability-lovers. The ceramic non-stick surface (free of PTFE and PFOA) made cooking effortless—and cleanup was even easier. This one’s perfect for your everyday meals and those Instagram-worthy brunch spreads.
Pros:
- Sleek ceramic griddle with a clean, modern look
- Heats evenly and releases food like a dream
- Lightweight and easy to maneuver
Cons:
- Smaller surface area than the Presto
- Cord could be longer depending on your outlet setup
I especially recommend this one if you’re trying to keep toxins out of your kitchen—or just want something that looks nice next to your Le Griddle outdoor setup

- Cooking for a crowd? The Presto electric griddle gives you space and consistency.
- Prefer a sleek, eco-conscious vibe? The BELLA griddle is your go-to ceramic griddle with serious style.
And hey, if you’re into grilling outside or want that heavy-duty feel, don’t overlook a cast iron griddle, a cooktop griddle, or even a griddle and grill combo for more flexibility.
