What are you looking for? cast iron? ss clad aluminum? single burner or double burner? nonstick?

Double burner induction compatible griddles, as you've found out, are not as common at a decent price point. I'd personally recommend something that has a thick aluminum ()or copper) core, rare than CI. I find it more forgiving for hot spots than the cast iron, for a griddle application where you are making things like pancakes and quesadillas.

I wanted cast iron, but I'm open. I already have a round cast iron griddle, but it's too small. I'd like double burner.

I was trying to give you a bump and see if anyone would chime in. I'm not an induction person, but have seen similar requests elsewhere. You might check this thread on Chowhound: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/827956

I've seen some vintage Griswold cast iron that might work -- but they were highly rare and expensive. I had the Lodge double griddle (on gas) with the ridge on the edges and it was so uneven for pancakes that I switched to aluminum. There are a few induction compatible cast aluminum (Swiss Diamond comes to mind) double griddles with a nonstick surface. My dream wish list product is induction compatible -- the Demeyere plancha. It's way expensive, however, as they don't import it into the US for some reason.

I'm with Gooster, an aluminum thick clad is the best, but almost impossible to find in a double burner w/induction. If you want cast iron there must be plenty that are flat on the bottom. Also carbon steel like this chef king is popular and thick at 7 guage. They make thinner and smaller ones and so does Lodge. http://www.amazon.com/Chef-King-Gauge-Steel-Griddle/dp/B001BQYS3C/ref=pd_sim_79_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=1NEGB6N9WJHB4ZQ5WDG5&dpID=412xG3KAA8L&dpSrc=sims&preST=AC_UL160_SR160%2C160

this one is only $39. but thinner and smaller. The problem is avoiding hot spots. None of these would be very good for pancakes where even heat is important. http://www.amazon.com/Chef-King-Gauge-Steel-Griddle/dp/B001BQVBBO/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1444452789&sr=8-8&keywords=griddle+for+induction+cooktop

I read that thread. It doesn't seem like it will work on indutction. No glass tops. Sad.

Not to worry. The Demeyere is most certainly induction suitable

If you go back to re-read Alexander's Oct. 3 post in that chowhound thread --- that's the post that mentioned a brand of plancha with a "no glass cooktops"warning --- you'll find his somewhat subtle link to the Chef's Design web page. Follow the link and you will find it is a completely unrelated company (Chef's Design) with an unrelated product --- a rough cast aluminum griddle which Alexander had previously purchased. Not applicable to the Demeyere.

Demeyere's 7-ply "Atlantis" cookware line is optimized for induction use. The Demeyere plancha/griddle has mostly been a product for the European market. Google it and you'll find a bunch of UK, French, Italian, etc. references specifically stating the plancha/griddle is induction suitable.

FWIW Gooster confirmed using his Demeyere plancha on induction (look at his comment/review on the Zwilling page). Other chowhounders in other threads (including Duffy H and Sirrith) have discussed using their Demeyere griddle on their induction ranges and cooktops, too. If need be, I can further confirm when mine is delivered in a few days.

Well I ordered it and I hope you are right. Fingers crossed!

Duffy (CH poster) has induction. She's used it a couple of times and really likes it. I'm using it for the first time tonight to toast some ciabatta buns and will report back about how it does over my two different sized hobs. It's a pretty thing! Merry Christmas to me ;)

The griddle takes some time to heat across the surface. I used medium (6 on my Bosch induction) for about 10 minutes, while doing other things, then turned it to low (4). The top slices were started on the hotter side (at the bottom of the pic and larger of the two hobs) and moved up as I buttered the others. Surprisingly, the middle of the griddle gets the hot the quickest even though the larger hob isn't right there, but on the lower end. This bread is very uneven by nature so, the browning isn't even because of that. I also haphazardly buttered them. It did a nice job, though. It takes a long time for it to cool, so it would be wonderful to keep food warm through a dinner. Be careful! The edges get very hot and I brushed a knuckle against it by accident. Ouch.

I can't wait to play with it.

These buns are huge. It will fit 8 average grilled cheese sandwiches.

I hope you are all enjoying your plancha/griddles. I'm quite pleased. I have one for a gas range where I have matching burners and the griddle spans the two perfectly. I have not tried it on induction (yet). I bought a second for another kitchen (though I may give it as a gift) with a smaller induction unit where they are not matched I want to see if it will fit -- but other users seem to have done so just fine. Great for sammies, pancakes, quesadillas, tortilla making, etc.

My plancha/griddle arrived yesterday. For Suzi, I can confirm without doubt that It absolutely works on induction.

Adding to what Gooster and Alex said, this plancha is very definitely a two burner griddle. Made pancakes this morning on my gas stove. I had no trouble with the center (between the burners) being any (noticably) less hot than the ends. I did follow Alex's tip about pre-heating. I also discovered that it is pretty efficient at absorbing heat so it will take a few tries to learn how to adjust the heat for it. I got this plancha to the heat where water droplets skitter but then got
distracted by a phone call. When I came back to it, I forgot to
check to be sure that it had not gotten even hotter. It had. Butter pretty
much burned off as soon as I painted a little on the surface.

Even so, Demeyere's "silvinox" surface seemed to be as low-stick/non-stick as my well seasoned cast-iron pans. The pancakes cooked up fine. Even with the butter mostly burned off, nothing stuck. Later, after letting the griddle cool down, it cleaned up with a sponge and detergent, even the butter burns in the corner. I am as impressed as the many posters in the chowhound thread that I linked above.

Mine arrived last night. Mine has huge stains on it that I can't remove, after cooking pancakes on 6 induction. The pancakes were delicious, but I may never get that griddle clean. Still, at least it works! I'm happy.

Re: stains

It was not clear from your phrasing if the stains came as a result of cooking the pancakes or if the plancha had stains out of the box that just seem unremovable after cooking on them.

As I noted above, the first time I used my plancha/griddle, I ran it too hot and got some pretty good burned butter stains. I was able to remove those stains by applying undiluted Dawn dish detergent and scrubbing with a dampened blue ScotchBrite ((non-stick suitable scrubbie) Took a bit of elbow grease but that cleaned off all the stains.

There seems to be a Demeyere Non-Abrasive Cleaner and Stainless
Steel Polish. User reviews seem very positive about it doing a good job with burned-on oily stains. A google search showed it to be available from the likes of Amazon, BB&B, etc.

Also did some checking on using my old stand-by, Bar Keeper's Friend (BKF). The Demeyere instruction booklet does advise against using "abrasive cleansers" but that seems to be about harsh scrubbing with the likes of Comet and Ajax. A google search on BKF + Silvinox turned up recommendations for making a wet paste of BKF and water. Daub it over the stains rather than scrubbing. Let the wet paste sit for an hour or so letting the Oxalic acid do its thing. Then, wash it off or scrub with non-stick-suitable cloth, sponge, etc.

OTOH, if the plancha came with the stains out of the box, it can be returned or swapped for a
replacement. My shipment even came with a return label in the box in case I wanted to return it. Also,
replacement of marred units was discussed in the Chowhound thread. They
recommended calling "Susan" at the Zwilling warehouse at 800-777-4308
about returns and replacements.

It was perfect when I received it. The stains are from burnt butter> I'll try your suggestions. Thank you!

I've been searching high and low for an induction double burner griddle - and one that has reviews from induction users that are actually happy with it. This Demeyere looks to be the one! The first link posted was broken, but a quick search found a new link and the price is still $119 with free shipping. Hope this helps out someone who's been searching as long as I have for a good double burner induction griddle.
