Is the Garvee 22 Inch Electric Griddle good for pancakes and eggs?

Yes. The adjustable thermostat lets you hold a moderate heat that suits pancakes and eggs, and the enclosed lid helps finish them evenly. Cook in batches, since the surface is 22 inches wide.

Does it need seasoning?

The cooking surface is steel, so it benefits from a light coat of oil before each use and a thin seasoning layer over time. That keeps food from sticking better than a dry surface.

Can I use it outdoors?

It runs on electricity, so it needs an outlet. A covered patio or garage with power works, but it is not a replacement for a gas griddle at a campsite.

What does the enclosed lid do?

The lid traps heat over the cooking surface, which speeds melting and warming and keeps splatter down. It also covers food while it rests between batches.

How does it compare with a gas griddle?

It heats from an outlet and gives thermostat control, but a gas griddle offers more surface and faster heat recovery. For small batches and indoor use, the electric griddle is simpler.
