LTD Technical Details: LTD's patented 3-ply design is composed of a brushed 18/10 stainless steel interior clad to a pure aluminum outer ply. The aluminum exterior is anodized to create a surface that will not scratch, chip or peel to keep your cookware looking great.

Distinguished among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections by its stylish charcoal black hard anodized-aluminum exterior, the LTD line provides serious and professional cooks with all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between the exterior and the interior lies a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The striking exterior resists scratching, chipping, and peeling. Certain pieces, like this one, have two interior layers, one of 18/10 stainless steel and the other of scratch-resistant, professional-grade nonstick bonded to the steel.

This enormous stovetop griddle makes clear the appeal of All-Clad's LTD cookware to contemporary cooks. It's 20 inches long and 13 inches wide, perfect for cooking a dozen big burgers or pancakes for a crowd. A channel runs around the perimeter to drain off fat and juices when grilling meats. Because the grill's cooking surface is durable nonstick, you can grill healthful meals without using butter or oil and you'll have an easier cleanup. Polished 18/10 stainless-steel handles are riveted to the griddle for strength, provide 2 inches of space to accommodate big hands, and stay cool on the stovetop. LTD cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. --Fred Brack

Great griddle, but the useable area is less than listed., January 20, 2004

BRAD ARRINGTON (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: All-Clad LTD Nonstick Grande Griddle (Kitchen)

I really like this griddle and would have given it 5 stars but for a detail.

Pros:
I use this griddle on an electric coil stove, on one large and one small burner. It heats very evenly even with the small burner, is heavy enough not to slide around while cooking, is light enough to move easily (vs. cast iron), and the non-stick surface make cleaning a breeze. It also has a grease gutter on the perimeter that can hold the griddle in place on the burner. The handles are vertical and grip extends slightly inward so it does not bang on the rear of the stove. It doesn't interfere with cooking as I thought it might.

Cons:
However, the grease gutter is about 1 inch all around that subtracts from the cooking surface, making the cooking area more like 11x18 instead of the listed 13x20. The transition from the cooking surface to the gutter is rounded so pancake batter poured near the edge can run into the gutter. It would have been better if the gutter was narrower and the...

Raised Bottom Not Compatible with Ceramic Cooktops, October 8, 2001

This review is from: All-Clad LTD Nonstick Grande Griddle (Kitchen)

This griddle looks great, but I had to send mine back. This is because the bottom is raised about 3/8 inch due to the grease channel that runs around the perimeter, and it is thus not compatible with our ceramic cooktop. I contacted All-Clad, and they confirmed that it will not work on smooth cooktops. It would have been nice for the manufacturer to point this out in their product description, but they do not.

Will Work On Radiant Smooth Cooktop, April 11, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: All-Clad LTD Nonstick Grande Griddle (Kitchen)

This product has been said to not work on a smooth cooktop. I e-mailed All-Clad about it & this was their response:

If your new cooktop is a radiant type the Double Griddle should work just fine. If you have an induction type cooktop it will not perform. The reason is because is has a hard anodized exterior rather than the magnetic exterior required for induction cooktops.

Just wanted to let everyone know that there is a smooth cooktop that this will work on. I am very excited about this!
