Amazon.com Review
By marrying a big nonstick electric griddle to a big nonstick covered skillet, this countertop cooking combination offers big versatility to families, college students, and small households with limited kitchen space. Saut�ing, frying, stir-frying, deep-frying, simmering, and braising are all within the griddle-and-skillet's reach. At 11-1/2 inches square, the griddle accommodates plenty of pancakes, burgers, and steaks; at 12-1/2 inches square and 2-1/2 inches deep, the skillet holds up to 4 quarts of chili, stew, or soup. (A recipe booklet is included to offer ideas.) Because the skillet heats on top of the griddle, the griddle's temperature control is calibrated for both griddle and skillet. The skillet has stay-cool handles so it can be carried to the table, and both it and its cover are dishwasher-safe. For upright, compact storage, the entire unit fits into a wire rack. --Fred Brack

A very good product February 28, 2008
I use this product on my boat where storage & preparation space are at a premium. All in all it works very well as a griddle and as a skillet. I would agree with the critic who complained it doesn't get hot enough for extremely high temp skillet cooking but this is seldom a problem. I find it a very convenient electric appliance.

Great Combo January 17, 2008
I received this skillet/griddle combo three Christmas holidays ago. I loved it! It does have some of the problems that I have read about on the other reviews--the paint came off of the control area when I cleaned it, and it only cooked well on high when I was using the skillet--but I still thought it worked great for our family. It cooks very evenly unlike the one that I am currently using, and I really liked the griddle being so handy. Unfortunately after almost daily use, it quit heating last August and I purchased just a skillet locally. I found that I missed this combo and I began looking for a replacement one. I will be buying another!

Christmas Present January 7, 2008
I have one of these skillets already and our daughter wanted a griddle so we decided to buy her this one also. She ABSOLUTELY loves it and is really excited to use it for her family. She couldn't believe how easy it was to cook pancakes for her two children and their friends.

We use our all the time the skillet and the gridle and it is so easy to clean the skillet.

Great tool for a growing family with a small kitchen March 15, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I've had my H-B Step Savor Skillet/Griddle for several months now, and I am very happy with it. The griddle accomodates four medium-sized pancakes, and the small lip around the edge keeps the batter off my countertops. The skillet gets hot enough to brown hamburger meat and has enough capacity to prepare a substantial main dish for a family of 4-6. The temperature control has temperature markings for both the griddle and the skillet, since the skillet temperature runs lower than the griddle.

Clean-up is easier than with traditional electric skillets. You don't need to worry about immersing the electrical components because the skillet lifts off the base (which is the griddle) and can be washed like any non-stick cookware. The griddle wipes clean with a paper towel or damp sponge.

Though I'm not much for home entertaining, I can imagine this electric skillet being very handy -- you can cook in it, then turn the temperature down to keep the food warm for as long as you need to. The lid has an adjustable vent in it to control the moisture level inside.

I only wish that the non-stick coating was a bit tougher. I've been careful to avoid scratches so far, but I know it's only a matter of time. I just hope that H-B keeps making these clever kitchen tools, because when this one becomes unusable, I'll certainly buy another one!

Great little "Skiddle" for our tiny place January 15, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought this for my boyfriend and I to use in the tiny 360 sq. ft. cottage that we live in. I love that it's both a skillet and a griddle (or a "skiddle") so we get maximum function in the smallest package. We've already used it to make pancakes, sausage links, eggs, chicken, and some delicious cheese crisps. It heats up fast and is very easy to clean. It's the perfect size for cooking for two people and is designed to that it doesn't take up more counter space than it needs to. I would highly recommend this!
