Yup rickgregory we will see what happens!

We have one of the elctric griddles - The Wife doesn't like it, for various reasons. I'm leaning heavily toward the All Clad right now, or maybe that Danish one.

This may not be what you want but I really like my good old cheap electric griddle for bacon and pancakes. I have some non-stick pans for the stove as well as my Lodge pans.

FWIW, I have been paying more attention to percentage of 5-star ratings more lately as well. If the percentage 85% to 90% plus I give some allowance for user error and conclude the product is probably good enough.

For example, I wouldn't be surprised if some of these folks cook on max heat everytime whereas I rarely go above medium.

That seems to be the common rule, but in reading many of the reviews of warped pans on Amazon, many of them CLAIM they are doing just that and the pans warped anyways. I dunno, you have to take those with a grain of salt, I know.

[DogFaced PonySoldier]

That does look interesting. I see 4 models, ranging from 99-149. Thanks for the tip, and the review on them.

STEbbq - thing is, if she likes the inexpensive one and DogFaced PonySoldier doesnt care about having a square pan, then you might as well just replace what she has with one that's like the one she likes. She's happy, he's happy that the current warped one with crappy handle is gone.

The most used pan in my kitchen is a Circulon square griddle. Its at least 15 years old and still going strong - no warping or scratches -non stick not so much, but that's what fat is for.. I can't speak for the durability of the newer models.

But I do feel that I've solved the warping problem on all but the most inexpensive cooking pans. Move the pan off heat and let Momma Nature cool them. Don't immediately douse them under a stream of water just after you finish cooking. Makes cleanup a little messier - congealed grease and all - but the pans stay flat.

I feel like we need more stories here! 🤣

Yes but pretty indestructible. Had a nice calphalon set that lasted a year at my wife's hands. These are going on 5 with no damage other than a broken lid. She dropped a cast iron Dutch oven on a glass lid, can't fault it for no surviving that.

Ouch. Pricey.

I've been happy with a set from scanpan. They have several square griddle pans but aren't that cheap. The only set my wife hasn't destroyed so far... https://www.scanpan.com/cookware/cat...alty-pans.html.

This also sounds like a good approach of you don't want to spend the $150 required for one that meets your standards.

Yeah I'd just find a new version of what she has. Here's a T-FAL version https://www.amazon.com/T-fal-Ultimat..._dp&th=1&psc=1 and here's another version of it: https://www.walmart.com/ip/T-Fal-Ini...-Gray/22581863
