Frequently Asked Questions From Customers

How do I prepare my griddle for first-time use?
In order to protect the plates of your new griddle during transportation, a layer of food-safe oil was coated on the surface and covered with a sheet of wax paper prior to shipment. This is harmless but must be removed before you begin to use. To remove, peel off the protective wax paper and then preheat the grill until the oil liquifies. Next, carefully wipe away the melted oil with a clean, soft cloth. Once all of the oil is removed, you can begin to use your griddle.

I was excited to get this until I cut my fingers twice while opening this. The edges of the splash guards are RAZOR SHARP. My employee also cut her finger trying to pull the plastic off. Avantco needs to spend a little more time getting these things SAFE for use. Anyone trying to prepare food on these will find their fingers cut up if they hit the edges. I had to get a sander and sand down the edges before putting in my kitchen. Great looking unit. Horrible QA.

Thank you for your review, Erik! We are sorry this Avantco EG16N 16 inch Electric Countertop Griddle - 120V, 1750W has not worked well for you. A Customer Solutions Representative will contact you soon!

Nice adjustable feet and it was nice that the surface came protected in oil. After burning that off, I applied some sunflower oil and cranked it until it smoked. Handled another round, then it was on to cooking. Turned out bean and griddled cheese tacos to the crew.

Only had this grill for a few days and already couldn't live without it. Just an incredible value for the money. I tested the temperature and found the thermostat to be dead on and calibrated to the center of the grill, and the 1/2" thick grill surface heats evenly all over. In fact, from the hottest point to the coolest point, I found less than 20 degrees F differential. I would definitely buy this grill again.

This grill is perfect for food trucks and outdoor events. I heats up fast and takes at least 20 minutes to cool. Easy washing afterwards. Very easy to control temp. settings. All around great buy.

Purchased this Griddle July 2023- by May 2024 it stopped working. It would heat up all the even if it was turned to off. There was no adjusting temp, wouldnt cool down. Got a replacement one since under warrenty. Here we are not even a year later starting to have the same issues. Not fully shutting off unless unplugged, i have to set the temp lower than we want it. Was told by customer support we use it to much for the unit size (we keep the temp at 300-350 degrees and are only open for 6 hours in the mornings). Great little unit for our thight kitchen space but doesnt last.

Thank you for your review, Kandi! We would like to gather more information about your experience with this product. A Customer Solutions Representative will contact you soon!

Very easy to use. Just make sure you have the right electric outlets to support this kind of high usage. Easy to clean and stays hot.

I was really skeptical when I first ordered this product, it just seemed the price was too great. I have to tell you this is a great heavy duty grill. I run it about 10 hours a day and have never had any problems. The grill is easy to clean and makes anything from eggs to hamburgers. Also easy to keep clean and you will love the way it keeps the temperature constant. Great!!

Great little work horse of a griddle. Be careful not to throw the legs out with the packaging as they are very hard to find in the box (surprisingly.)

Works well until it doesn't. We purchased it in Oct and in Dec the next year it failed...two months out of warranty and WebstraurantStore wouldn't help us with repairs or provide any discount on a replacement. They wouldn't even cover the extra fee for expedited processing of a replacement unit. So, we purchased a replacement unit with an extended 4 year warranty from some place else for less cost.

Thank you for your review, Raymond! Our Customer Solutions team has been in touch with you about this griddle. If you have any further questions, please contact Customer Solutions. Please note, additional warranty information can be found in the "Resources and Downloads" section of this page.
