Okay, confession time: as a food blogger, I’m a sucker for cute kitchen gadgets. So, when the GreenLife 20″ Extra Large Electric Griddle popped up in my feed, all decked out in its signature soft pink, I was hooked. I mean, seriously, who can resist a pink griddle? But beyond the adorable factor, I had to know: could this thing actually cook? Was the non-toxic, ceramic coating just a gimmick? Time to put it to the test!
First impressions? It’s even cuter in person. The soft pink is a total mood-booster in my kitchen, and the design is sleek and modern. Plus, those “stay-cool” handles? Genius! And the removable drip tray? Hallelujah for easy cleanup! But the real kicker was the sheer size of the cooking surface. Twenty inches! My brain immediately went to Sunday brunch: mountains of pancakes, crispy bacon…you get the picture.
So, I’ve been putting this griddle through its paces for a few weeks now, everything from quick weeknight dinners to lazy weekend breakfasts. Here’s the lowdown:
Pancakes and eggs? Forget about it. This is where the GreenLife griddle absolutely kills it. That non-stick surface is no joke – pancakes practically levitate off the thing, and eggs cook like a dream, evenly and without a hint of sticking. Seriously, I cranked out a stack of pancakes for the whole fam in record time. Major win!
Burgers and sausage? Yep, it handles those like a champ, too. The massive surface means you can cook a whole batch at once, which is a lifesaver on busy weeknights. I did notice, though, that the center seems to get a little hotter than the edges. Not a deal-breaker, but something to keep in mind.
And now, the moment we all dread: cleanup. But guess what? With this griddle, it’s actually…easy? The non-stick surface wipes down in seconds with a damp cloth, and that drip tray pops right into the dishwasher. Seriously, clean-up is so painless, it almost feels like cheating.
The good stuff:
- That huge cooking surface. Seriously, you can cook for a crowd.
- The non-toxic coating. Peace of mind is always a good thing in the kitchen.
- Cleanup is a breeze. Enough said.
- It’s pink! Okay, maybe that’s just me, but it makes me smile.
- Heats up super fast. No waiting around when you’re hungry!
A few little quirks:
- Slightly uneven heating. Keep an eye on things, especially when cooking bigger batches.
- The temperature control is a bit…vague. It’s an analog dial, so you’re not getting super precise.
- No lid. A lid or splatter guard would be a nice addition.
The Verdict?

Honestly? I’m a fan. The GreenLife 20″ Extra Large Electric Griddle is a solid workhorse that makes cooking easier and (dare I say?) more fun. Sure, it’s not perfect – that slightly uneven heating can be a little annoying, and the temperature control could be better. And yeah, I wish it had a lid. But overall, the spacious cooking surface, the non-toxic coating, and the ridiculously easy cleanup make it a winner in my book. If you’re cooking for a family, or just want a versatile griddle that won’t give you a headache, the GreenLife is definitely worth a look. Despite a few minor quirks, I find myself reaching for this griddle all the time. It’s become one of my go-to kitchen gadgets, and that’s saying something!
