- Welcome back to The Food Experience!! This experience I am reviewing the Vevor 22" electric flat top griddle. This thing works SO good!! It is like having a smaller version of a restaurant flat top at home. I do a few sample cooks on it during this video. More to come in the future! Stay tuned!
I hope you enjoyed this experience. See ya real soon on the next one.

When I backed up the head chef at a very popular pub here in Philadelphia, I used a small electric griddle for hours every day. Everything could be made on it that didn't require a direct flame broil. That little griddle saw so much action the restaurant bought another and we made a new station beside the prep board to do meats separately the vegan customers we had. Awesome product!
That's really cool! I sure wish I had my own shop. So many creations I would love to make for people.
How is the Vevor holding up? Does the grease and oil stay relatively within the surface when you have it on your counter? @@TheFoodExperience
@@upload638 It is holding up very well. As long as you have it on a level surface it is perfectly an even playing field. But personally like this surface much better than the surface on the Blackstone adventure ready 22 that I have.
Excellent, I am buying one then! Vevor is an unknown brand to me but the prices are good and if you've beat on it and it has held up that is all I need to know@@TheFoodExperience
@@upload638 If you are used to griddling I'm pretty sure you will thoroughly enjoy it. For an electronic device of its type I truly believe it is the best on the market. Vevor sent me their latest version to review and I think the thermostat is much more accurate.

What an outstanding video, I learned so much - always wanted a flattop at home. My kids love grilled cheese sandwiches, bacon/eggs, burgers, etc. And we love all the Korean fast food videos from around UA-cam (many use a flattop). Motivated me to get one, it's a way of cooking I can feel confident about! 👍 Thank you!
You are very welcome! Thank you so much for the kind thoughts. I have lots of videos featuring this flat top in addition to their 14-in version. I have playlists for each one. If you ever have any questions please let me know.
This is called a five-star review. Love the details and presentation.
Thank you so much!
You got me excited for nothing!! What about how to clean this thing mine comes in Friday😡😡😡
@@caseyaddison2014 I never get excited for nothing. I get excited when there's reason to be excited. None-the-less if you're looking for a cleaning video I did put one of those out as well.

@@TheFoodExperience thanks
Thank you so much for this outstanding review! I had considered getting a 3000W griddle for my son for Christmas (he loves cooking Japanese food), but those require a special plug/outlet, as well as special wiring in the house. When I noticed this one as an alternative (albeit, with a 22" wide surface, instead of 30"), I wasn't sure if 1600W would be powerful enough (and, I had my reservations about the 22" width). Your video put both of those fears to rest, and you really did a great job of describing its features, pros, and cons. I'm really excited about getting this griddle for my son. Thanks, again!!!!!
You are very welcome! I'm so glad my video was of good health in making your decision. I really love this device and use it every chance I can get. The space may be a little bit cramped compared to what you can do on a 30-in but yet it is definitely very workable.
Thanks to you TFE, I just received my 22" Vevor and I can't wait to season it like you suggested and make my first omelet and many other things... And BTW, you are a genius with the In & Out video, I copied you and I'll never go back to In & Out again LOL. I made the burgers with Bison ground beef and wow wow wow.......... I do live in Los Angeles, so I will eventually go to In & Out with friends while running the streets but I'll always know that I can do better thanks to you.......
You are very welcome! Thank you so much for checking out my videos and kind thoughts on the In-N-Out Burger video. I hope you thoroughly enjoy your griddle.
Great video this is being delivered to my house in a few days after returning the 22” electric blackstone (what a disappointment) and much researching. I was a bit nervous after some of the reviews didn’t sound too great but your video boosted my confidence that I made the right decision. Thanks
I used to have the 17-in E-Series and it was pretty underwhelming for sure. Eventually I upgraded to this Vevor and have been thoroughly happy. Just make sure you season the top well and it will be smooth sailing. Treat it like you would a cast iron. I really hope you enjoy it once you receive it.
Great demonstration and review. Cheers chef!
Bet you'll have some great videos coming up!
Thanks SO much John!! Cheers!
I definitely have quite a few videos planned using this device. Tonight I am making quesadillas on it.
Great review Andy! Nice looking product. Also I dug the background music throughout the video.
Thank you so much Brad! It really is a great product. Check out my Facebook. I made a killer breakfast on it tonight for dinner. Glad you like the background music. I thought I would try it since I noticed the video editor comes with so many tracks.
DUDE YOU ARE OUTSTANDING WITH THIS GRIDDLE
Thank you so very much!
Great review, I like the extensive, real-time testing with little cuts. I've been shopping around for a Teppanyaki griddle and saw your review on Home Depot's website. After seeing it in action in this video, I'm definitely going to be purchasing one and subscribing!
Thank you so much for the kind thoughts. I really love using this griddle. I had the Blackstone E-Series prior and the Vevor runs circles around it in every which way. That's cool that Home Depot has a link to my video on their website. Thanks so much for subscribing. I have a category of vids showing the usage of the Vevor griddles.
I ordered one of these 22inch VEVOR from Amazon. Should be here this Thursday. I was going to get one of those 22inch Blackstone electric griddles but I noticed the food does not caramelized well and the food scoots all over the surface like an ice skating rink. I cannot wait to try mine and look forward to all those nice meals consisting off Hash Browns, Sausage, Bacon & Eggs along with cheese steaks and smash burgers. Great demo. Look forward to more videos of yours.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I put out quite a few videos so far with this and many more to come. I hope you enjoy yours to the fullest once it arrives. If you ever have any questions just let me know.
Oh yeah I was going to also add that I had one of the Blackstone electric griddles and I like the Vevor a LOT more, specifically for the reasons you pointed out.
I really want to get one of these but have you ever had it trip the breaker at your place? 1600watts not sure how many amps its drawing but I would worry that if I am running this, kitchen lights, etc, etc it might set off a 15amp breaker.
@@VapnFagan Hey Mark!! This device will draw 14.5 amps. A 15 amp breaker with barely cut it and you may trip the breaker depending if there is anything else running on the same circuit. A 20 amp breaker would be recommended. If you know for sure you have an outlet that is not being shared with lights or anything else then you might be able to squeak by. Thank you so much for stopping by! Been a long time man.
great review mate, thanks .....greetings from Australia
Thank you so much!
Amazing video, fun to watch/listen to and very informative. Thank you for sharing
Thank you very much
Oh yeah and I have reviewed and updated version of this griddle recently. In case you want to check it out here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/Wc-CTl_LHiw/v-deo.htmlsi=BIbn3r7us01tYzQY
This video is amazing, thank you so much. I learned lots!
wow this looks cool af..your my new fav channel no lie
Thank you so much! I am totally loving this flat top. Many more videos to come.
Great review! We’re so happy you loved your experience and can’t wait to have you back in the future.🥰
Thank you so much for finding the way to my review. I appreciate the kind thoughts. So far I am totally enjoying the your company definitely offers such a wide variety of products it is unreal. Too cool!
@@TheFoodExperience Great review! So happy to have found your channel. Do you notice any issues with tripping breakers? I'm on the fence on which model to purchase. I actually want to get the larger 2 burner versions, but am afraid I'll need to run new circuits. Thanks and look forward to your new videos.
@@shanebroyles3150 hey Shane, thank you so much for checking out my video and for your comment. This device has not tripped my breaker and I have cooked on it at least 15 times now. Regarding the dual zone version, I think you need a 30 amp circuit to be able to run it. I think that one also does not come with a plug. It should be wired directly to the breaker box from what I understand. I would much rather have the dual zone version but since I live in an apartment I know it's not a viable option.
Wow. Your house must never go hungry
Great Review, Like me you need to work on your Spatula Game though... Happy Grilling Cheers!
This was done about a year ago and I was totally new to flat top griddling. My spatula game is totally on point now. Thank you so much for tuning in and happy griddling! Cheers!
Great review glad I found ya thank you 😊I'm definitely buying this
Thank you very much. Sorry for the delay but UA-cam did not notify me of your comment. If you have any further questions please let me know.
Bought mine yesterday thanks for the review brother
Right on Jake!! I hope you enjoy yours as much as I am enjoying mine. I literally use it to cook almost everything.
I think I'm going to have to make my way out to you so you can cook me a demonstration 😂. You're always cooking up something good 👍
I thoroughly enjoy cooking for people! Thank you so much for the compliment. The door is always open.
I love the T-Shirt, great review of the griddle
Thank you so much!
Yes I did install the 4 rubber feet that were in a seperate bag with a screw for each one of the 4. They are all the same length and I tipped it over to unscrew one and there fixed adjustment. No adjusting whatsoever.
That is definitely different than mine from the way it sounds. If I loosen mine then the leg or foot moves with the screw. Not sure about adjusting it a quarter inch. Mine was basically level just a hair off. Really wish I knew what to recommend.
Only reason why is because my patio has a slight grade on it for water run off. I will have to do it the old school way and put a shim under each rear leg. I am pretty mechanically handy and my neighbor is even shaking his head. I told him to be quiet and grab another beer before I put my Oklahoma Onion Burgers on there. Thanks for being there.
@@jimkoile4161 Right on! That sounds like a great fix for sure. Totally cracking up about your neighbor! Oklahoma Onion burgers are awesome! I've made them a few times and quite honestly it's one of my favorite burgers ever.
I like it! Thanks for your review! 👍
Thank you so much for commenting and stopping by.
Bought mine today bc of you. TY!
Thank you so much for letting me know! I hope you enjoy the griddle as much as I am. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks for the detailed Video. Best regards from Germany.
You are very welcome
I purchased the smaller griddle. I use smaller spatulas which makes cooking a lot easier.
Very good review! One suggestion, when cooking fried rice add 1 tbsp of oyster sauce, it adds yet another level of flavor.
Thank you very much. Unfortunately the oyster sauce won't work for me. I don't eat anything out of the water.
@@TheFoodExperienceWorcester sauce is made of fish as far as I know... read the labels 😊
@@realdjoffski7201 It is not made of fish. One of the last ingredients is anchovies. It's a very slight amount so it doesn't bother me.
Great review. Great detail. I need to get me one of those. 😊
Thank you very much! I love using this flat top griddle. I use it for most of my cooking needs.
Excellent review 👍
WOW THAT IS SUPER AWESOME🤩🤩🤩
It really does an awesome job! Great for the person who is not allowed to propane device such as myself.
Wonderful review. I have their 18 inch grill but it really does need a power switch. I'm planning on opening it up and wiring in a red lighted 120VAC 20 amp rocker power panel mounted switch; dremel cut the hole. Or easier, a 30 amp inline switch. I have to look inside the housing before I can decide.
Thank you so much! Those are definitely good ideas for a switch.
@@TheFoodExperience I'll let you know. I plan on doing it before the end of this month. I love that grill.
Hello, I've been researching egriddles. Can you tell me if it will work with a 20 Amp breaker, or does it need it's own line. Also, is this big enough for 4 people.
You can use it to cook for four if you orchestrate everything properly. It might be a little tight though. It definitely will work on a 20 amp breaker. If you share any other devices on the same circuit you need to take in account for how many amps each device uses.
Thanks for the interesting review!
You're very welcome
Vinegar will make it shine as a post wipe after grill screens and pads is normal. I have not tried but barkeepers friend on a flat top might be amazing since my restaurant days but it is my go to on my stainless steel pans.
You would not want to use vinegar on this. Barkeepers friend also a bad idea. Those would be great if it was a stainless steel surface like the ones used in most restaurants however the material of this griddle is iron and it should be seasoned and treated like a cast iron surface. If you use anything like that it will remove all the built up seasoning which is necessary for an iron surface to be non-stick.
Great video,very informative! 😊 👍🏾
Thank you very much!
You're most welcome!
I see the new version has both Fahrenheit and Celsius markings for the temperature indication. What they did in put the Fahrenheit markings on the black sticker that goes around the thermostat dial.
Yeah I think I saw something like that. I'm not sure about the markings. All I do know is if I convert Celsius to Fahrenheit whatever I set it to is kind of a roundabout number. I wouldn't take the numbers for what they are. I know where to set it for what I'm cooking and I have a temperature probe to ensure I'm at the right temperature. The temperature control works okay but you may have to adjust it during cooking if you want to add a little extra from temperature drop when the food hits. It's not a lot and it does recover quickly.
Did I just hear you talk smack about the Blackstone? 😲😠 Lol. J/k! That Vevor seems like it's pretty nice and a bit more "industrial" than the Blackstone. I ended up getting rid of my 22" Blackstone because the recovery time was just so bad, much worse than the 17" in my opinion. I do still like my 17" though and haven't had the sticking issues others have had with it, at least not yet. I recently bought a propane Blackstone but my time is so limited these days I haven't even seasoned it yet but hopefully can get to it soon. I'm finally getting to some of your videos since again, I don't have a lot of time post-divorce to watch or make them. Great video!
I definitely like this a lot more than the Blackstone. It definitely keeps the temperature a lot better since it is a cast iron surface. So much easier to work with and easier to clean. That's unfortunate regarding the 22-in Blackstone. I bet the propane Blackstone is nice. Hopefully you'll get to season it soon. I really wish I could have one of those but the apartment rules that I'm living in forbids it. Thank you so much for tuning in. I greatly appreciate your support. I hope things are going okay at your end.
Awesome review thanks!! I have a question, one complaint I read on Amazon is that there’s a tiny gap where the cooking surface meets the drip hole where drippings fall in and can’t be cleaned. The reviewer said it was “an annoying design flaw” and therefore gave the griddle a 1/5 stars. Is this warranted??
You are very welcome. I'm honestly not sure where the tiny gap would be. If you look at my last video that I uploaded last night which is Smokey sloppy Joe's I do a little bit of cleaning afterwards at the end of the video. If you could watch that and make reference or at least look at the cleaning process, maybe it'll be more evident to you and to me. I thoroughly enjoy using this griddle. For me. It's a 5 out of five. And I purchased it with my own money and did not get it for review purposes.
@@TheFoodExperience Thanks for the response. I would probably have to see a closeup of the area he was referring to, that why I asked you as I don’t yet own the griddle. So you haven’t noticed any place where food/drippings are going where they shouldn’t, notably a tiny gap?
@@tman111195 I definitely have not noticed any gaps where the food is seeping through.
I just got one!!! Im excited to find your videos and learn about the healthy options I can cook LOL! Is olive oil ok to use on this grill? That's usually what I have, and I'm anxious to season it and get started!
Congrats! Thank you for finding the way to my videos. I love cooking on this device. Olive oil is not recommended. It is not capable of the higher heats that are needed to cook a lot of things on the griddle. What's recommended is a neutral flavor oil. Oils such as avocado, sunflower, safflower, peanut, canola, vegetable and those types of oils should be used. It's also very very important that you season the griddle as I showed in this video. Do not use olive oil for that.
@TheFoodExperience ooooo! Thank you soooooooo much, I'm so glad I asked! Hubby wanted me to season it last night and I couldn't find anything saying olive oil was OK, so I said... I'm waiting till tommorow!!! I will buy avocado oil today! 😀 we are making burgers tonight! I'll let ya know how it went!
@@TinyTinkles avocado oil is definitely a good choice. It is very important when you season the surface that you use a very light layer of oil and make sure the heat is turned way up to at least 400°. If not hotter. An infrared heat gun is definitely a helpful tool. You want to make sure that the first layer starts smoking and burns all the way off before applying the second coat of oil. I would do that at least three times. I hope your burgers come out amazing!
@TheFoodExperience thanks sooooo much! I plan to watch the video again, AND, to watch it while I'm seasoning, I want to get this right! Funny, I always thought olive oil was a high heat oil LOL, must be why I kill so many non stick frying pans! 😆
I’ll be making taco 🌮 at my business do you think it will last a while,or get really hot for speed? Blackstone griddles don’t last very long. After a couple of months they start acting up real bad, and I can’t have that when I’m trying to run a business
I have not used the device for commercial long-term cooking purposes. It would be unfair to give you an answer in regards to that. Sounds like it would be a good idea to try out
nice video. a small correction its stainless steel, not cast iron
Thank you very much! Incorrect. If you look at their website it is a stainless steel body with an iron surface. I only wish I could post a screenshot of that for you to see.
Follow this link and you'll see it says stainless steel with iron cooking plate. This thing is badass all the way! Best electric griddle out there.
Great video brother 👍🏽
Thank you very much brother
@@TheFoodExperience just bout one because of your great review 👍🏽.. Vevor should pay u lol.
@@arminderrattu5333 right on! I hope you thoroughly enjoy it and get good use out of it. This weekend I plan on cooking chicken fajitas on it. I'll post a video.
Is it okay to put on top of a granite? I never used one of these so just asking. Thanks
Yes, that should not be a problem. It has rubberized feet.
awesome review thx....now i just have to decide which size to get 14 / 22 / 29 inch.....have you used the 29 and if so was it much of a difference and was it too big for the countertop ?...again great video....cheers from Canada
Thank you very much. I think they are calling the 22 a 21 now. First thing you have to consider in regards to the 29 is the electricity. The 29 uses 3000 watts and requires it to be directly wired to your breaker. The 14 and the 21 can be plugged into a standard 120 volt outlet. I thoroughly enjoy both the 14 and the 21 although the 21 is a much better size. I do notice the 14 heats up faster to higher temperatures. Although both of them easily reach temperatures over 550°.
Does your 21" work off a regular 110 volt plug? I think the big 30" one needs a 30 amp outlet, like a dryer.
Yes, it is 1600 Watts which requires about 14 amps. It does come with a conventional 110 volt plug. Their dual zone products at 3000 Watts which require a bit over 27 amps. That version does not come with a plug at all. It's supposed to be wired direct to the breaker.
I had the Blackstone e series as well I end up throwing it away cuz the nonstick did ware off. I think I had it about a year but the last 4 months it sat and sat think I used it twice in the 4 months and I finally threw it out. I'm interested in this griddle thank you for your video
You are very welcome. I have done quite a few more Cooks on it since the video and it is still working excellent. I love the iron surface. As long as it is seasoned properly it is pretty non-stick.
I'm SO close to pulling the trigger on this thing, but my concern is how small the cooking surface is compared to some similar 24 inch models. The grease area on the face is huge and eats up a lot of space that could otherwise enable a larger cooking surface. I'm worried I will only be able to cook one type of food at a time, instead of having smash burgers on the center, buns on the side, onions on the other, etc.
It is a little bit tight but I believe you should be able to handle the full smashburger experience. I will release another video demonstrating that. Tonight though I will be making sliders with grilled onions, bacon and fried pickles on it.
They make a 30 inch model.
@@yesihavebedbugs2786 I really wanted the 30-in model. Unfortunately there's no way for me to use it in the apartment I am in. This works very well though and I'm very happy with the purchase.
@@TheFoodExperience well the comment was for the op. As they mentioned the size.
i think you could do it tbh. and if you’re really worried about space, you can always make oklahoma onion burgers. the onions, the beef, and the buns all get stacked on one another
Also oil the channel where the oil drains...makes clean up easier.
Thanks for the tip and I have definitely learned that since this original review.
I just got mine last week and have yet to remove the machining oil that is factory coated....I will do it today.
@@skippyify that's definitely a great idea.
Hello from the Bronx (NY). Loved your presentation. Will be considering this flat-top grill. I too live in a small apartment. I'm wondering if there's excessive smoke while cooking? Also do you have a cover for your grill. We have a lot of dust here. I don't need it all over the grill before use. Thanks again for your great presentation!!! 🏆🏆🏆
Hello Kiki, thanks for tuning in and for your comment. Hello from Los Angeles California. My parents were both from New York. My mom was from Brooklyn and my dad from far Rockaway. I don't get a lot of smoke while cooking but then again it depends what you are cooking combined with the temperature. Different foods have different smoke points. I do not have a cover for my grill. Just before I use it each time I always spread of very thin layer open neutral high heat oil. And I use my bench scraper to scrape the surface. Just make sure not to use olive oil since it has a lower smoke point.
@@TheFoodExperience Great to hear. I'm actually a Philly native but moved here back in 92. Been trying to get to Cali for the longest. I'll get there eventually. As for cooking, I use grape seed oil because of the high heat point. I think I will go for the 29" grill. Although the website offers discounts, I will probably get it from Amazon using Affirm payment plan. That way I can have the grill within a day or two without having to pay all that money up front. Thanks for responding so quickly. 🤗
@@kiki1965 oh that's cool! It is pretty nice out here for sure. Grape seed oil is definitely a good option. Just make sure whichever one you order comes with a plug. Some of the larger units required directly being wired to the circuit breaker. If it doesn't say on Amazon it will on the Vevor website. Also you are very welcome. I always try to keep up with questions that are asked.
@@TheFoodExperience 🥰🥰🥰
@@TheFoodExperienceYay... My grill came today. I took have the 22" w/ two spatulas/brushes. I didn't get the next size only because I felt it would blow every circuit in this apartment. I don't even have space for it in my tiny kitchen. I will most likely position it on top of my deep freezer until I figure out something. I also found a cover on Amazon that will shield it from the dust flying around here. All in all I'm happy and I thank you for your encouraging words/video. 🥰
on a regular counter top, doesn't that make it too high especially for short people at almost 9 inches in height?
I'm fairly short and I have no problem using it on a countertop. I'm only 5'5. No issue at all.
Looks like a great product! Wanna share the food? Lol
It really is great so far. Y'all come on over. I would totally love to share!
I cannot figure out how to level my Vevor 22 inch tabletop like you have. There are no adjustments to raise the rear legs. Currently all my oil runs to the back of the griddle and the level I put on it shows I need to raise up the back more than a 1/4 inch. Any answers? Jim
Hi Jim, the rubber feet that it comes with (which I had to install as they came in a separate bag inside of the box) are the way that I leveled it by listening or tightening each screw on foot respectively.
The music is great!!😅
Pardon my ignorance. I was researching this and it was my understanding it had a stainless steel top. You seasoned it like it was a cast iron. Do you still season steel tops?
There is no ignorance with that question at all. It is an ironclad surface. The rest of the device is stainless steel. It would be great if they updated their description to include that.
hey TFE great video! have you had any issues with grease getting stuck in between the griddle plat and back and side rails, how tight is that gap? thank you sir
Thank you very much Mike! I have not had any issues with grease getting stuck between the grilling surface and the side and back rails. I just looked and it is pretty tight. I don't have an exact measurement however that it is tighter than the thickness of my bench scraper which is super thin.
How much smoke comes off when cooking ?
Especially indoors?
Really depends what you're cooking and what temperature you have it at. The device itself doesn't make any smoke. However if you're cooking something like bacon at 400°. Expect to have just as much smoke as you would when cooking it on a frying pan on the stove. In fact expect the same smoke level as anything you would cook on the stove. Some people like to put their griddle on top of their stove so they can make use of the exhaust fan on their range.
How do you keep it clean. Do you use lemon to clean it. I saw at Sakura they used lemon and came up really clean
I would not recommend using lemon juice. It will remove the seasoning. The surface is iron clad. For cleaning just water, a scraper, and a towel is needed while it is around 300 degrees.
I would want the 29" with the two burners!
I would want that one as well. Unfortunately the 29" griddle runs at 3000 watts which will require 25 amps and wired inline direct to the breaker. I am not able to do that in my situation.
@@TheFoodExperience yep I see that now. I will not be getting that one then!
Hi, I bought the 18 inch griddle. The temperature will only reach 418 degrees in the center. Have you run across that?
Hi Gerald, I can't verify since I don't have that product. I have their 14 and their 21-in versions only and they definitely reach 600°, the 14-in quite a bit over 600°.
Ok, I take that back. I was worried about it last night out of the box. I did not have time to season it and it would barely reach 400 degrees. Today, when I got home, I turned it on again and seasoned it. The temperature easily reached 600 degrees, not that I would cook at that, but that helps the entire plate heat a little more evenly. We cooked on it tonight and it was awesome. Glad I did not take it back!!@@TheFoodExperience
@@geraldcrawford663 You know I had a feeling it hadn't been seasoned yet. I was actually going to mention that. Glad it worked out for you. Hope you get some great use out of it.
Did your scrambled eggs pick up all the flavors from the other meals you cooked?
Not at all. After every cook I always clean it up with water, bench scraper and cloth towel.
Hello I want to know do every time you cook something and when you get finished do you oil the griddle down to keep it from getting rusty
Once it is properly seasoned the oil will trying to stay there like cooking fatty foods which release more oil. I usually clean with water wild it is still warm but not super hot and then immediately wipe with a towel. I'm going to put out a short video in regards to clean up.
@@TheFoodExperience thank you
Ok maybe water and and soap on first cleaning but never again just so the people know, i am a cook worked in a few resturants only thing you clean a flat top with is veg oil, grill screen and towel it off dry then clean fresh towel put a thin layer of oil back on it all while it's hot "just turned off cooling down" things like soap or the lemon/lime juice trick to clean these tops basically resets your seasoning of the top and now you will have to start over. EDIT: Ok they should be paying you for this video i'm going to buy one, lets see if you have a product link.
Correct, water and soap only the first time and that is because these griddles come with a manufacturing oil that is not really considered consumable. Also keep in mind this is a cast iron type surface. Not sure I would want to use it grill screen on it. For me I just scrape use a little water to get off the food particles, wipe down with paper towels and then re-oil. Definitely no soap should ever hit the griddle after it has been seasoned.
@@TheFoodExperience You may be right not sure if this is the same as in restaurants but it looks it, i know the restaurant ones are cast but they must be stainless capped or something to look the way they do.
@gordonhood5902 The griddles in most restaurants are 100% stainless steel although there are some which are cast iron. Just depends on the product they are using.
@@TheFoodExperience Ah ok so i should treat the Vevor more like a cast iron pan? Don't mind my fast replies lol just finished your video and watching another video on this product, i rent a condo and the landlord won't replace my 80's coil burner stove that is just terrible, i mean loose coils that are super unlevel and only 2 burners that work are the small ones! lol i want to plop this bad boy on top of that POS, of course i'll use the burners when i need to use a pot or a pan.
@gordonhood5902 Yes, I would totally treat this like you at a cast iron pan. No worry about the fast replies. I enjoy communicating with people. Yeah that really stinks that they won't replace your stove top. This should definitely fit well on top of your current stovetop. If you have any thin-walled pots you could also put them on top of this surface to heat things up.
😎👍
Do you have a cover that you’d recommend for the Vevor 21” griddle?
Hi Beth, unfortunately I do not have an answer for that. I keep mine uncovered and it gets used around 3 times a week.
what kind of mess does it leave on the counter??
It really does not leave any mess on the counter. Only mess it would leave is when you are removing food and plating it up and possibly have an oopsie moment. Lol
How long did it take to warm up to 400 deg?
@@Here2Comment about 15 minutes for the version that I am reviewing. They have a newer version out which I also reviewed. The newer version has Fahrenheit and Celsius on the knob. The newer version takes a bit longer to get the temperature. In this review towards the end I actually showed the time it takes to get to various temperatures.
How is the process for cleaning?
It's definitely pretty easy. I clean it just like I do a Blackstone griddle although this has an iron surface instead of rolled steel. All you need is a bench scraper to scrape off any bits of food that are still there. Maybe a spritz of water to loosen any stuck on food. Most cases there won't be any If it is seasoned properly unless you are cooking something that has a lot of sugars in it. Once everything is scraped off I use a bit of oil and a paper towel to wipe down the surface. I repeat until the paper towel is fairly clean. Then one last very thin layer of oil as it is cooling down.
Thanks so much, i get mine
God I’m hungry now bro 💀
How much does it weigh? Is it easy to move around?
I believe it weighs around 45 lbs. I would not recommend carrying it back and forth between locations on a constant basis. I recently bought one of their prep tables with wheels so I wouldn't have to do that. But I don't think it's all that heavy to be honest.
How is for frozen burgers?
I honestly not tried frozen burgers. Personally I would let them thaw out. Either case though I'm pretty sure they would cook through just fine. This griddle definitely gets to some high temperatures.
your mistake is chopping at the rice, only ever fold rice you will release the starch and make it soggy rather than light and fluffy
Yes I definitely realize that now. I'm not used to making egg fried rice on the flat top. Normally I do it in a wok and use the ladle to separate the rice. Definitely going to work on perfecting it. Thank you so much for tuning in and for your comment.
Will it be a one year review? After a year or two normaly see how it holds
I can definitely arrange that when the time comes. I think I've had it a bit over 6 months now and so far not one issue.
I love the review, but the music was annoying ❤
Thank you very much! I tried to make the music lower in volume so that it wouldn't be too intrusive. I'll definitely keep that in mind for future reviews. Appreciate you tuning in and for your comment.
Does it come with a regular plug 🔌
Sorry I skipped that part, yes it does
No worries. As long as you purchase the 1600 w device then it will come with a plug. The 3000 w devices don't come with a plug. At least that's my understanding.
Can it be plugged in a normal outlet ?
It can be plugged in to a regular 110/120 volt outlet. Make sure you get the 1600 w version though. If you get the 3000 watt version then you will not be able to connect it to a regular outlet. Also keep in mind that this device requires a lot of amps and a 20 amp outlet and circuit are required. If you are sharing the circuit with other devices you might exceed that limit and circuit breaker may turn off. Just be mindful of other things you are sharing the circuit with.
@@TheFoodExperience thank you brother
Would this work for continued use in a food truck?
I'm guessing as long as you have 120v connection it should work fine. I've not used it all day everyday so I cannot vouch for all day cooking.
Cooking vinegar will get rid of the industrial oil
That's cool. The soap method worked great too.
good day sir,,,how many watts is that ?
The device is 1600 watts
hello! ca donne faim 🤤
Does that thing not melt your worktops ?
Not at all. It is raised from the work surface and really doesn't seem to run hot on the bottom.
@@TheFoodExperience thank you 👍
He never mentioned how long it took to heat up. Plan on 30 min to just reach 200 f.
I actually did mention time towards the end of the video. It definitely does not take mine 30 minutes to heat up to 200 f. Perhaps you're thinking 200 c since it is in celsius. Still it doesn't take that long to reach 200 c. I'll put out another video specifically mentioning time again even though it's already in this video.
How many amps does it draw?
At 120 volts it'll be just under 14 amps. I would recommend a 20 amp breaker Even though 15 amps could technically work. Don't share any other high wattage device on the same circuit.
@@TheFoodExperience That's what I was thinking. I was throwing around the idea of getting an electric stainless griddle for convenience. I think I'll stick with my outdoor gas griddle for now. I appreciate the review. Thanks!
You're very welcome! I do enjoy using my gas Blackstone 22-in adventure ready. But sometimes when I want to cook indoors this is a perfect solution. It is just an electricity hog though which I don't blame you one bit for not wanting to use. I will say this though, the surface on this is an iron surface and it retains heat a lot better than the Blackstone. When I turn it off takes a lot longer to cool down.
The Griddle will not rust. It's stainless steel.
It is not stainless steel. I don't know how you got that information. If you go to the manufacturer's website it shows that body is stainless steel but the cooking plate is iron. I could tell you first hand that it does rust. If only I could post a picture here. I left the original device outside on my patio and the whole top is rust but the sides are not. Definitely an iron surface and should be treated and seasoned like a cast iron.
Tell you what, just to prove it to you I'm posting a picture of the rusted griddle in my community tab. Definitely not stainless steel.
@@TheFoodExperience their website states that the griddle plate is stainless steel. Perhaps you got a defective, or prototype of something else
@@theoriginaldashriprock definitely is not defective. Lol also definitely not a prototype either. I'm not sure where you were looking on their site but this is the link to the device. Right in the title it says iron cooking plate.

@@theoriginaldashriprock You can also scroll way down the page of the link that I sent you and it also shows that the cooking surface is iron.
Can’t believe you just washed that whilst it was plugged in.🤦🏻♂️
One little splash of water while you’re leaning it and holding the side and farewell to you my friend.
I've done it over and over again. I truly do not believe anything is going to happen from that. Although I do enjoy living dangerously. Thanks for your concern.
I keep thinking about this comment and the more I think about it the more it does not make sense. There are all kinds of wet ingredients that people cook on griddles. Pretty sure it was designed with that in mind. When I squirt water on it it basically immediately steams and evaporates. Again I do thank you for your concern but I truly do not believe it is an issue.
Um do you realize that some foods that are cooked on a flat top release water while cooking?
I don't understand a lot of the second half of your comment. Leaning it and holding the side?
Drunk? Lol
It's too bad that Vevor only chose to go with the 1600 watt when almost every other company that uses the exact same grill with their own brand name on it chose to go with a 3000 watt model
They do make a 3000 watt device. However is that one requires direct in line wiring to the circuit breaker. It also offers dual zones. I am quite happy with this and it definitely gets super hot and retains heat fairly well.
This guy is not following instructions. Your supposed to run at 200 f for 30 min before seasoning.
I actually did run it for a half hour. 200 f? I think you have your fahrenheit and celsius mixed up. LOL
420 degrees lol
Kill the music
🤣😂
Never known anyone to be so cack handed, and get the food all over the place
What's a cack?!?! 🤣 Glad you enjoyed my video and that it provided you with some entertainment. Thanks for tuning in.
I just rewatched the video and I'm not sure what food I got all over the place. There may have been a couple of peppers that went in the trough. The only thing that left the griddle at any point and made a mess was the rice but it was a small fraction. I will improve on that as time goes. That was my first time doing fried rice on this device. Stay tuned because I will be making chicken fried rice for dinner on December 25th. Hopefully that goes a lot smoother.
Crack?
@@wani-r cack, it means that you are clumsy. (Old English word)
And the rice went everywhere, also you never cleaned the spatula’.
Wasn’t trying to be nasty or anything, just saying what I see, I’m like that in real life also…..
@@Fumingzeus I wasn't the one cooking.
I looked it up. That's not an American slang word. That's more UK.
Rice was over cooked to mush.
I'm not sure what you're referring to. The rice was definitely not mushy. LOL
@@TheFoodExperience you cooked the rice the night before so only needs a very quick finish in the wok, after cooking all the additions first. You cooked the rice twice for far too long. I could even see it was over cooked.
@@ianofliverpool7701 actually the length of time depends on the temperature. I could have sure you it was not cooked too long. I make fried rice all the time and it was the perfect texture.
Why don't you tell us about the long spot in the front of the griddle where a the grease and food pieces get stuck and is hard to clean. I don't see you cleaning in there. It must be disgusting.
I clean under there after each and every use. I don't do it on video but I assure you I do each time I am done cooking something. It's really not difficult to clean it all.
@@TheFoodExperience I'm sure you do clean it (I was kidding about the disgusting comment), but I do not agree that it is easy. If the griddle is hot, you can get burned and you cannot see in there to tell what your cleaning. It really is a defect in the design; they could have made it without that crevice. But thanks for your response.
@@petergraziano9084 oh yeah, no hard feelings for sure. I still think it's pretty easy to clean. I could clean the area easily with a bench scraper. Perhaps all include a bonus footage section to show the cleaning process on my next video that I'm filming tonight.
@@TheFoodExperience There is some things I should have said. I love cooking on the griddle, it is everything you said it is. Except for what I complained about, it it easy to clean and maintain. Your video is what convinced me to buy it. I thought it was well done.
@@petergraziano9084 thank you so very much for the kind thoughts. I'm glad you are enjoying your griddle too. I think the cleaning part is very important and I should have been gone over that better. I'm always looking to improve and try harder.
the burger had no sear... looked pretty terrible
It definitely had some sear. Not a lot though. I will admit. This was my first time making a burger on this device. Despite how you may think it looked, it was really tasty. If you look up some of my other videos you will see that I have it nailed down now. I make some pretty kick ass smashburgers they tell me. Here is one of quite a few examples..
ua-cam.com/video/8adMbzgTE1Y/v-deo.html
@@TheFoodExperience yup, you are right... very nice!
@@yellow_panther thank you very much. Always evolving.
Need to know temp of the sides because I think I see some cold spots which isn't good for cooking multiple things at once.
The temp on the sides runs about 20-50 degrees cooler than the center from what I have noticed. I will try to put that information out on another video soon.
