EA-DCC10 Gourmet Sizzler Electric Griddle,Stainless Brown Extra Large

This thing is awesome! When I looked across the cooking surface I had flashbacks to my time in the Navy stationed aboard an aircraft carrier looking across the flight deck. In other words, it's huge! I bought this because I'm often juggling stove top real estate and while I have a double burner griddle it is about 15 years old and the non-stick isn't what it used to be. Besides that there were times it just wasn't big enough. Those days are gone. I can still use all four gas burners and now the huge cooking surface of the Zojirushi EA-DCC10. I haven't done breakfast on it yet, but you could pretty much cook everything on this one griddle all at the same time. I also own a Zojirushi NS-ZCC10 5 1/2 cup rice cooker and my satisfaction with that item made purchasing this Zojirushi product that much easier. I've just received this griddle and used it twice. First was for carne asada tacos. It was a breeze cooking the meat, enough for my three person family to have three large tacos apiece. After I had cooked the meat most of the way I moved it over to one side and could fry up the tortillas, four at a time with the meat still cooking on one side (cilantro lime rice cooking away in my Zojirushi rice cooker). Could easily do six tacos sized tortillas at once if thats all you were doing. The non-stick was perfect and cleaned easily with a paper towel. Next I cooked about three pounds of chopped chicken thighs to make my lunches for the week. Once the chicken was nice and browned I again moved it to one side and cooked diced onion and jalapeno on the other side before mixing it together once the onions were soft. I normally do this in a skillet and remove the meat after it's brown and cook the onions then add the meat back. With this I was able to do it all on this one surface. I will update this review as I use the griddle more, but out of the box and after the first couple uses I'm very happy with my purchase. **UPDATE** Man, this thing continues to impress. I cook on this several days every week and have been enjoying every minute of it. I already cooked a lot from scratch, so it isn't like I'm cooking because I have the sizzler, but I have moved the majority of my cooking from the stovetop to this unit and my results have improved. I've cooked everything from NY Strip steaks, pork loin chops, flank steak, cubed chicken thighs, eggs, ham, homestyle potatoes, fish to onions and sauerkraut. The size is awesome. It's safe to say you could cook about 5lbs of chopped meat on this thing, no problem. The outer edge stays completely cool to the touch. The surface cleans very easily. After about a month the non-stick is looking rock solid. It's an attractive piece of cooking equipment. Loving it!

I bought this a few years ago. I really wasn't expecting this grill to still be perfect. Most grills just stop working. But, this specific grill is my go to cooker. I cook EVERYTHING on it. I cook ribs, chicken, spaghetti (yes spaghetti by just adding water and salt just enough to cover the spaghetti in water) and it comes out like a restaurant meal !! I even cook rice in it with peppers, onions and stuffed olives. Yummy !! Here is a trick I do to cook in this. I remove the actual grill part. Then I insert the electric connection by lowering a button that clamps it in. Then I put regular cooking pots on top of the hot grill area and it serves as a regular stove as well. Do not do that using ceramic pots. Use aluminum or iron pots. I only do that when cooking eggs or soups or rice. But when cooking stuff like meats I leave the original grill part in and cook anything in a couple of hours. It gets hot right away. So this is the real deal. I always cook at 350 degrees and NOT any hotter to not trip the electric circuit in the house. That temperature is perfect to cook anything all the time. The top non stick layers does wear off quickly but I don't care because washing it is so simple by just pouring water in the grill area and letting it heat up to a quick boil. Then I just pour the water out and wipe it down. I don't use any soap in it. Even with grease leftovers the hot water detaches the oil from the grill within a few minutes of it boiling. If the food is somehow stuck on the pot too much then pour water into the grill and let it sit over night with the lid on it with the grill off. The next morning all the food parts come right out. I have had NO problems using this grill for the last two years. Not more to say than that. Yeah, this is the one to buy !! Five year update on this grill: I bought this grill on June 2020. This update is now on June 2025. I still love my grill and I'm still using it daily to cook all my lunch and dinner meals. The heating floor still works perfectly and the rest of the grill parts have not broken or teared. Yes I still love my grill. It is definitely wide enough. It is about 13 inches long and 10 inches wide for pots other than the actual grill (those are the measurements inside the actual cooking surface. The outer parts including the handles and outer grill holder areas are longer and wider. Get it.

I'm updating my original review. I have come to love this griddle. After 30+ years of using many griddles, this has proven to be the best of them all. Its costly for sure, but you absolutely wont find a better griddle that heats evenly with great non-stick. I get the reviews about the exact temperature of the settings, no issues, I jest set it lower... I'm the grandpa who makes the worlds best pancakes... Perfect $160 for an Electric Griddle, just completely crazy, but I decided to buy this for two advertised features. Ever heat distribution and easy to clean, and one feature important to me with the higher sides but not as high as a large electric skillet. Yes the temperature was even. I used a scanning laser thermometer and cooked french toast this morning. Set the temperature to 350 and let it preheat. the temperature varied 5-12 degrees edge to edge, end to end... perfect Not perfect is that when set to 350 the temp was 405 degrees, so I adjusted to 300 to accomplish my goal. Six slices of toast were cooked even with no hot spots whatsoever, a lifetime first and worth a premium. Yes it was very easy to clean but with four 20" components it took up some counter space to dry. The quality is medium and will take special care not to damage but not cheap and flimsy, this is where the cost was excessive, for this much I expected a substantial build. each component will flex easily except the cooking plate, this is solid but has a very warning to not drop it.. I think I'm an idiot for spending this much, but every once in a while ??

It heats up fast, non-stick is great, huge, and easy to clean. The temperature setting doesn't match the actual temperature according to my IR thermometer. It's usually measures about 500 deg F when I have it set at 425 deg.

In reading the other reviews, I had the sense that this would be a very solid commercial grade griddle. Based upon the price (about 3 times more expensive than other brands) I expected this to be head and shoulders above the competition which consists of mainly flimsy, poorly designed units which seem to have a very short life span, uneven heating and questionable non-stick coatings. So, the unit is manufactured by Zojirushi. The name may seem familiar to those who eat at sushi bars as Zojirushi seems to make all of the commercial refrigeration units which display the fresh fish on top of the bar. My impression of the griddle is not quite as positive as many of the reviews may portray. It IS definitely a better quality--marginally--in some ways. There are four main pieces: A metal base which contains the heating coil, a very solid metal griddle with a waffle pattern which is removable and washable,a sort of flimsy lid which could be used to keep food warm and a plug in thermostat which is similar to most of the other units of this type. In use, I noted what other reviewers have-- that the thermostat i s WAY off. When I set it at 325 degrees, the griddle surface reached almost 500 degrees in some places and seemed to average around 425. Not sure why this is but it is certainly something that you would notice if you were trying to cook pancakes. When I reduced the temperature to 300 degrees, the griddle seemed to settle in around 375 to 400-- still too hot but usable for cooking. The cooking surface itself (removable) is the best feature of this unit--very large, heavy and easily removed and cleaned. The non-stick surface seems more durable than other griddles I have owned and the manufacturer supplies a stainless steel spatula-- my feeling is that you should continue to use the nylon spatula usual to these non-stick surfaces to avoid scratches and wear. Note that fat and grease does NOT drain from the griddle surface but is contained within by a lip. In my opinion, this is a better arrangement than messy grease traps and drip containers which never seem well designed and are hard to clean. You can lift the cooking surface off the base and drain any fat by tipping (just like an oven tray.) In use, and with the caveats mentioned, the unit cooks very evenly, cleans well and seems well designed and reasonably durable. My reservation is simply that this is good but not necessarily worth the substantial additional investment required for the quality received. I will update as I learn more.

This thing is BIG. It was a Christmas present to my wife. We love it and use it at least a few times a month to make pancakes loaded with nutritional ingredients to freeze for our special needs son who is a very picky eater. My wife doesn’t spend four hours cooking them anymore thanks to its size and quick even heating. It cooks so evenly thanks to its lengthy winding heating coil. She loads them up and on the Zojirushi and is done in a fraction of the time. There are two tiny spots where the coating is flaking off despite using the special rounded edge spatula that came with the Zojirushi and what we typically use, which is ba silicon spatula. Maybe we bumped it with something. Otherwise holding up well. She had said when it wears out we’re getting another one.

Sooo how evenly cooked pancakes look in reality? Absolutely perfect! Take a look. You can see how different zones produce similar results. Great electric griddle! Easy cleaning.

I would like to say this is a great product, except for one major safety concern. The even heating surface and ease of cleaning is great, but this was all tarnished due to another component. I believe the temp control is defective and the manufacturer is aware of this but does not act. My experience started with reading a lot of reviews and deciding to give this griddle a try. I was aware that some reviews highlighted the super high temp during preheat and hoped I was not going to experience it. I WAS WRONG!! The first time I used it, I noticed the temp was a lot hotter than I thought it should be during the "8 minute preheat" phase. I used a digital thermometer probe and it showed the temp was over 500 degrees. I had the dial set at only 350 and the highest setting on the dial is 425. I assumed this could be the "initial" break-in and decided to wait for another use. I experienced the same thing the next time and became concerned. On the third use, I took pictures to prove to the manufacturer that I was not making up the high temps during the preheat phase. At 6-7 minutes and the dial set to 350, my reading was 475-480 degrees and it was still heating. When the heating light finally went out I had a reading of 484 degrees. I called customer service, first caller and waited over 10 minutes, to see if this was normal because their manual does not mention that the griddle will get this hot during preheating. I was informed that using a digital thermometer was not an accurate way to prove it was as hot as I claimed! Even if my way was not 100% accurate, it was still well over the maximum temperature allowed on the temp control unit! It does not seem safe to get that hot and is it possible that the nonstick coating will deteriorate faster? After providing pictures and receipt, the customer service rep responded saying that the manufacturer warranty was voided because even though I got it at Amazon, Amazon was not the seller. They would not even attempt to work with me or send a new temp control unit in order to try and resolve the problem. Truly disappointed because it seems like the manufacturer wanted to wash their hands of their faulty product and leave me with a safety concern! I would hate for this to happen to anyone else so look at the manufacturer's website to know who to buy it from, if you decide to buy it at all. I ask that you stay away from Zojirushi because of my experience and similar ones like it. I called Amazon and the customer rep immediately issued a return label and apologized for the manufacturer's poor customer service. Thank you Amazon!

I bought this electric griddle after my third one (other brands) in 5 years broke on me. I hadn't been all that happy with the past ones (as the heat distribution was awful). I was "this" close to giving up on electric griddles entirely, but really liked that this Zojirushi griddle has an element that really covers the entire cooking area. So I figured it would be worth the higher cost. Turns out I was absolutely right - the griddle does have very good heat distribution (no more "musical chairs" with pancakes to keep them cooking evenly!) The griddle also has plenty of power - I haven't had to cook at a temperature beyond the pre-heat range yet (with other griddles, I sometimes doubted that they ever got up to temperature). You're supposed to pre-heat the griddle for 8 minutes, which makes a real difference to the heat distribution, as well - that's enough time to pre-heat while you mix up pancakes. I love that the griddle plate has high sides, which makes turning food much easier, and makes it possible to use the griddle for foods beyond pancakes. While the Zodoesn't have the grease drain like other electric griddles, you can make gravy or sauces while cooking your food. I also find I use less oil in this pan because it doesn't all drain away. The pieces are so easy to clean - everything comes apart, and you don't ever have to immerse the element part in water. The lid is is very useful for evenly cooking meat or thicker foods, as it traps the heat. Probably more energy efficient that way, too. The lid is a bit light - it would be very easy to bend it if you're not careful (don't put anything heavy on top of it) - and you have to be careful when lifting it because there's no central knob on top, and you have to lift from the ends. Make sure to lift the lid open AWAY from you to avoid getting steam in your face. (If I had any suggestions on product improvement, it would be to make the lid sturdier, add a handle on top for lifting, and put in a steam vent.) All told, I'm very happy with my Zojirushi griddle and would recommend it over any other griddle I've tried (and I've had at least 7-8 over the past 15 years).

great device, is well made, cooks very evenly everywhere. Heats up a bit slow. Lid doesn't seem to fit perfectly everytime, its kind of loose and just sits on the top of each corner a small amount. . The only other negative i have is there really isn't anywhere for the extra oil or scraps to go when cooking. For instance if you cook a pack of bacon after you have all that grease leftover and you can't just pick up the device and dump the grease into a cup cause its all plugged in. I found myself unplugging it, putting on oven mits, picking up the middle insert and then dumping it.

After extensive research, I decided to invest in the Zojirushi Gourmet Sizzler Electric Griddle, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. This griddle stands out as the best option on the market, and it exceeded my expectations upon arrival. The extra-large cooking surface provides ample space for preparing breakfast favorites like pancakes, bacon, and eggs, making it perfect for family gatherings or weekend brunches. The even heat distribution ensures consistent cooking results every time, and the adjustable temperature settings allow for precise control over the cooking process. What's more, the Zojirushi griddle's versatility extends beyond the kitchen – I'm excited to take it camping this summer for outdoor cooking adventures. Its durable construction and portable design make it the ideal companion for any outdoor excursion. Overall, I highly recommend the Zojirushi Gourmet Sizzler Electric Griddle to anyone in search of a high-quality, versatile cooking appliance. Whether you're whipping up breakfast at home or grilling on the go, this griddle delivers exceptional performance and reliability.

We absolutely loved this griddle. Far superior over the Teflon griddles we have had in the past. Nice even cooking. We have used the hell out of this griddle to the point where we are starting to notice some sticking. I understand you can get a replacement pan for these, however, in my searching, have found that all the replacement griddle pans are “sold out”. Not sure if that’s a ploy to buy a new unit, but not happy none are available and a new griddle has gone up quite a bit in cost since we bought ours. It is still useable but with sticking, it’s a bit tougher to clean. I would have given it 5 stars if not for this. It’s lasted 4 years.

This is a super expensive frying griddle. It doesn’t have a hole (which some reviews take as a negative and I think is a POSITIVE). It’s easy to clean, but will not fit in most dishwashers (for me, it will but as the ONLY thing on the bottom rack). I bought it right as covid hit and my Dad made fun of my “$200 griddle”. After multiple uses at the cottage, he came to me and asked where I got it and if I could get him one. Both of them heat evenly and cook a variety of things. The lid is awesome for heating stuff quickly and then using as a “keep warm” function for stuff like taco meat. I have used this for way more than the pan it replaced, and often its just left on the counter from breakfast for heating simple things for lunch. Cons: Its really big Pros: Its really big You will like it.
