Reversible griddles usually have a smooth griddle side for foods like eggs, pancakes, and grilled sandwiches, and a ridged grill side for searing meat and creating grill marks.
Electric grill/griddle models commonly list power around 1400–1500 watts and offer adjustable temperature controls. Some models note temperatures up to about 425°F and may include separate cooking zones with independent controls.
Sizes vary widely: widths in these examples range from about 9.5 inches up to about 23 inches, with depths commonly around 13–17.6 inches. Heights vary by model depending on handles, legs, and removable parts.
Common features that improve drainage and cleanup include integrated drip wells, removable drip trays, sloped or tilt-to-drain cooking surfaces, and removable plates that channel fat away and can be wiped or washed separately.
Options include factory nonstick finishes such as ceramic or multilayer nonstick coatings (some noted as PFAS/PTFE-free), as well as cast-iron surfaces sold preseasoned with natural seasoning or vegetable oil.
