That changed yesterday when I fed 29 people at a social distancing birthday party.
I fired it up a half hour before the first pancake was to be cooked so it was fully up to temperature. The grill was also up to temperature.
It was too much for me to operate both cookers and serve 29 people so before the first pancake was cooked I had a volunteer to operate the griddle while I cooked pork chops on the grill and another volunteer served the food and drinks. Then another volunteer started mixing batter. My point is it took two people just to do the pancakes as fast as the 36” griddle could cook them.
This was the first time the griddle cooked more than one pouring of batter. The cook later said he never adjusted the temperature from where I set it. It’s amazing how quickly it can serve that many people. The pork chops were lagging in comparison to the pancakes.
My concerns about the adjustments not being fine tuned turned out not to be a problem and it functioned perfect making pancakes. With everything going on we forgot about eggs so none were cooked. Corned beef hash was also cooked but didn’t get fully browned until the very end and few people ate the hash.
Overall I would give the griddle five stars. The only thing not tested was time and it’s not known how it will perform after a few years of service. My guess is it will just become more seasoned and function fine.
