Pros and Cons of Le Griddle GEE40 The Wee Electric Built-In Griddle

Pros

• Superior heat retention and even cooking: The patented Dual Plate System combines a 304 stainless steel cooking surface with a 1/2-inch thick enameled cast-iron sub-plate, ensuring excellent heat accumulation and consistent temperature across the entire surface, eliminating cold spots.
• High-quality, durable construction: Made from commercial-grade 304 stainless steel, the griddle resists rust and weather, making it suitable for indoor countertop use or permanent outdoor kitchen installation.
• Safe for indoor use: As an electric griddle without an open flame, the GEE40 is certified safe for indoor environments like apartments, condos, and food trucks where propane or charcoal use is restricted.
• Easy cleaning: Features a smooth, non-stick surface that’s quick to clean using a recommended ice cube method on a warm surface, plus a removable grease tray for easier maintenance.
• Precise temperature control: The 1800-watt, 120V electric heating element paired with the heat-retaining dual plate provides consistent and accurate heat, perfect for delicate foods and high-heat searing alike.
• Versatile installation: Can be used as a countertop appliance or built into an indoor kitchen or outdoor island setup.

Cons

• Very high price point: Positioned as a premium appliance, the GEE40 is significantly more expensive than many competitors.
• Small cooking area for the price: The 16" x 15-3/4" cooking surface is compact and limits simultaneous cooking at different temperatures due to a single heat zone.
• Accessories cost extra: Important add-ons like a lid for steaming and protection or a portable cart are sold separately, increasing the overall cost.
• Requires a dedicated circuit: The 1800W heating element needs its own 15-amp electrical circuit to avoid breaker trips.
• Heavy and not fully portable: Despite its compact size, the GEE40’s robust cast-iron and steel construction makes it heavy and less practical for frequent transport compared to lighter models.

Conclusion

The Le Griddle GEE40 is ideal for serious home cooks who prioritize commercial-grade durability and superior cooking performance. Its standout dual-plate system and stainless steel build offer consistent, high-quality results indoors or outdoors. However, its premium price and small cooking surface may deter budget-conscious users or those needing larger capacity. For casual use or portable needs like camping, the GEE40’s weight and cost could be excessive.
