The 7 Best Electric Griddles Under $100 for Pancakes, Eggs and Family Breakfasts, Ranked & Reviewed

Our verdict: A 22 inch plate with a PFAS-free ceramic coating, textured nonstick and removable handles.

The Presto 07061 has a 22 inch plate with a PFAS-free ceramic coating, a textured nonstick surface and removable handles. It costs under $100.

It wins on space and coating. A 22 inch plate fits a full family breakfast in one go, and a ceramic surface avoids the fluorinated chemicals some shoppers want to skip. Removable handles let it slide into a cupboard. The cost is storage space and no listed temperature range.

Buy it if you cook for four or more. Skip it if you have a tiny kitchen.

Our verdict: Roomy cooking area, heat up to 420F and a body you can wash in the sink.

The Chefman XL offers a 10 by 20 inch cooking area, heat from 200 to 420F, a control that pops off, a body safe to submerge and a drip tray. It sits in the $25 to $50 bracket.

An immersible body is the standout at this price: with the control removed you can wash the whole griddle in the sink. The 420F ceiling is enough for a good sear on pancakes and burgers. It ranks second because the listing does not name the coating.

Buy it if you want washability on a budget. Skip it if you care about coating type.

Our verdict: A ceramic nonstick 10 by 20 inch plate with a removable probe, a warming tray and room for 10 eggs.

The bella has a 10 by 20 inch ceramic nonstick surface, a removable temperature probe, a warming tray and room for 10 eggs. It sits in the $25 to $50 bracket.

The warming tray keeps the first pancakes hot while the last ones cook, which matters at a table of hungry people. It ranks third because the listing gives no temperature range.

Buy it if you cook batches and serve together. Skip it if you want a stated range.

Our verdict: A detachable, dishwasher-safe plate with grease channels and a 200 to 400F range.

The Amazon Basics griddle has a ceramic coating, a 200 to 400F range, a removable probe, a detachable dishwasher-safe plate and grease channels with a drip tray. It sits in the $25 to $50 bracket.

A dishwasher-safe plate is the easiest cleanup here. It ranks fourth because 400F is the lowest ceiling in the group and no plate size is listed.

Buy it if you want the dishwasher to do the work. Skip it if you want higher heat.

Our verdict: A tilt-and-drain design that holds 12 slices of French toast and has a cool-touch exterior.

The Presto 07046 has a tilt-and-drain design that can sit level or tilted, holds 12 slices of French toast and has a cool-touch exterior. It sits in the $50 to $100 bracket.

Tilting sends grease to one side so bacon and sausage drain without a drip tray. It ranks fifth because the listing names no coating and no range.

Buy it if you cook greasy foods often. Skip it if you want listed coating details.

Our verdict: A 10.5 by 16 inch surface with a cool-touch base, a backstop ledge and PFAS-free ceramic nonstick.

The Presto 07047 has a 10.5 by 16 inch surface, a cool-touch base, a backstop ledge and a PFAS-free ceramic nonstick coating. It sits in the $25 to $50 bracket.

The backstop ledge keeps pancake batter and eggs from sliding off the back. It ranks sixth because the surface is smaller than the leaders and no temperature range is listed.

Buy it if you cook for two. Skip it if you feed a crowd.

Our verdict: A 9.8 by 15.7 inch flat top with a 200 to 420F range, removable control and drip tray.

This Chefman has a 9.8 by 15.7 inch surface, a 200 to 420F range, a removable control, an immersible flat top and a drip tray. It sits in the $25 to $50 bracket.

It is the compact version of the XL, with the same washability. It ranks last because the XL gives far more cooking area for similar money.

Buy it if space is tight. Skip it if the XL fits.
