Customer Reviews
Just purchased this griddle as a christmas present for my father. After doing some research I went with this over the Blackstone for the stainless steel construction and also the 5 burner. This thing looks amazing, and was super easy to assemble. It’s a lot heavier than you would expect so make sure to have 2 people for assembly as well as moving the box into your house/backyard.
I’m about 4 cooks in now, seasoning went well and I’ve been cleaning while cooking as well as reseasoning when finished. This is a total game changer for cooking food and elevating your arsenal of meals and capabilities. Breakfast on this is amazing and so is dinner, totally worth the price point.
We will see how it holds up, but it’s very very promising.
The only negative I have seen, but hasn’t been a problem is that the flat top definitely isn’t perfectly flat but it hasn’t effected my cooking one bit.
Definitely worth the money.
Works amazingly well.
I'd really like to know if one can convert to natural gas?
I bought this griddle from Canadian Tire last month (May 2024), was super excited. After assembly I seasoned the griddle three times with good cooking oil and the coating was pitch perfect. Only problem now is the coating is pretty much gone (after 3 use) and regardless how much oil I put on, rust is showing up on the entire surface. I also noticed that the griddle becomes warped from the center when hot.
I tried also with a product made specifically for seasoning of griddles, did not work as expected.
Was there a change in the griddle quality?
I am afraid its not going to last very long even if I am taking very good care of it.
I have other cast iron griddle and they still look perfect after years of use, so something is wrong the quality of this product.
What does the "limited warranty covers"?
I need to know the height from floor to the grilling surface plate
This is a great griddle. I always wanted one and when Canadian tire offered this it piqued my interest. Not sure if its allowed but I compiled an assembly video on YouTube. It shouldnt be hard to find as there is limited videos on the paderno. To sum up, an excellent well built griddle, easy to assemble. Highly
