Product Inspirations – Gourmet Sizzler® Electric Griddle (EA-BDC10) + Takoyaki Plate (EA-YBC01)

Improving our customers’ quality of life through the creation of innovative products remains at the heart of what we do. This founding principle guided our product designers to create one of our favorite appliances – the Gourmet Sizzler® Electric Griddle (EA-BDC10) and the optional Takoyaki Plate (EA-YBC01)!

Our newest griddle exemplifies the style, ease and versatility you’ve come to expect from us. It features a compact, user-friendly size along with even heat distribution for speedy cooking. It also comes with a convenient lid, variable temperature settings and a removable cooking plate made with a diamond-pattern surface which protects the nonstick coating and helps to keep foods from sticking.

The cooking plate is heated to the temperature set using the temperature control plug, which lets you choose between a keep warm temperature of 176°F to a cooking temperature of 400°F. This variable temperature setting makes the griddle versatile enough to cook a range of foods, from breakfast dishes like pancakes to filling dinners like okonomiyaki, yakisoba and burgers. When you use the convenient lid, you can also steam foods like pot stickers, and prevent spills and splatters when you’re grilling meat or making tender stir-fries.

The optional takoyaki plate, which can be purchased separately, makes this griddle even more multipurpose, letting you make 26 large savory takoyaki at a time. If you’ve never had takoyaki, you’re sure to love this iconic Japanese street food. Takoyaki are made with octopus, flour, dashi, eggs and savory seasonings. We’ve posted a great how-to video on our website to help you prepare them!

The Gourmet Sizzler® Electric Griddle comes with numerous other convenience and safety and features. The griddle has a 6.6 foot long power cord that lets you plug it in next to your table, and the cooking plate and heater sit inside a body guard which is designed to help prevent scalding. And the cooking plate won’t heat unless the temperature control plug is correctly installed.

As with most of our products, keeping the griddle clean is simple and straightforward, as the parts assemble and disassemble easily. The cooking plate and body guard can be fully immersed in warm water and mild detergent for cleaning. The exterior simply needs to be wiped down before storage.

With all of these features, we really love using the griddle for breakfast and dinner (and maybe a dessert or two!). All of the ingredients for hearty breakfasts like our Irish Good Morning, which features eggs, sausage, bacon, potatoes, tomatoes and puddings, can be lined up on the griddle at the same time. No need to use multiple skillets and pans to get breakfast on the table. Complete dinners such as Miso-Marinated Chicken Teppanyaki are savory and simple to make. Just line up marinated chicken with vegetables on the cooking plate, pop on the lid and let the griddle go to work. Dinner can be ready in less than half an hour, and cleanup is simple with only the griddle to worry about. Of course, dessert is always an option, especially when it’s our luscious Chocolate-Chocolate Crepes!

No matter what you’re using it for, check out the Gourmet Sizzler® Electric Griddle and optional Takoyaki Plate. And as always, be sure to share your favorite recipes with us!

We’re excited to introduce our new Gourmet Sizzler® Electric Griddle (EA-BDC10)!

This new Gourmet Sizzler® model comes with user-centric features, including an easy-to-handle size, a convenient lid that allows speedy cooking, a long power cord, and an optional takoyaki plate accessory (EA-YBC01, sold separately).

The removable cooking plate features a titanium and ceramic enhanced triple-layer nonstick coating which is protected by a diamond pattern cooking surface. This innovative combination helps to keep foods from sticking.

This new griddle also has a temperature control plug that lets you choose between a keep warm temperature of 176°F to a high-heat temperature of 400°F. This variable temperature makes it convenient to cook a range of foods, from breakfast dishes like eggs, bacon, sausage and pancakes to filling dinners like okonomiyaki, noodles and meat.eabdctakoyaki

The optional takoyaki plate accessory (EA-YBC01), which can be purchased separately, makes this griddle even more multipurpose, letting you make 26 large, savory takoyaki at a time… you can even cook sweet mini-cakes! If you’d like to learn how to make takoyaki, check out our video on YouTube!

The convenient lid makes preparing gyoza (dumplings), vegetables and tender stir-fries easier, since all parts of the cooking process happen on the griddle–steaming, sautéing and pan-cooking. The lid also prevents oil splatters or spills.

This griddle is great for at-the-table cooking and dining with friends and family, thanks to the 6.6 foot long power cord.

We know cooking should be safe as well as creative and the Gourmet Sizzler® Electric Griddle comes with numerous safety features. The cooking plate and heater sit inside the body guard to protect against scalding. The plate won’t heat unless correctly installed, and the unit won’t turn on if the temperature control plug and power cord aren’t properly clicked into place.

Assembling and disassembling are easy and keeping the griddle clean is a breeze. The cooking plate and body guard can be fully immersed in water for cleaning, with the nonstick surface of the plate requiring only gentle scrubbing. The heat shield plate simply needs to be wiped down before storage.

Zojirushi’s Gourmet Sizzler® Electric Griddle – EA-DCC10

eadccpancake02
Pancakes, pancakes, and more pancakes. It’s winter and we all want the warmth of comforting food.

Our Gourmet Sizzler® Electric Griddle (EA-DCC10) is a great appliance for everyday cooking, and while griddles are traditionally used for pancakes (and we are giving you some great recipes below!), the Gourmet Sizzler® Electric Griddle is versatile enough to use for any meal. It has an extra-large surface that allows you to cook everything from breakfast dishes like pancakes, French toast, sausage, bacon and hashbrowns, to stir-fries, gyoza, cuts of meat and poultry, and burgers. The unique lid spans the entire cooking surface, cutting down on cooking time, helping foods cook more evenly and allowing you to steam food directly on the griddle.

The Gourmet Sizzler® Electric Griddle’s other features also make it a great appliance to add to your countertop. The heating element runs the entire width and length of the griddle for even heat distribution, which means no hot or cold spots on the cooking surface.  The cooking surface itself is made of cast aluminum, covered by dual ceramic layers, which help with heat conduction and retention, as well as a titanium enhanced nonstick, diamond-patterned surface that makes the plate durable and easy to clean.

Temperature control is easy with the Gourmet Sizzler® Electric Griddle’s temperature control plug, which can be set anywhere from a “keep warm” 175°F all the way to 425°.  The plug is removable, making the griddle plate fully immersible and easy to clean—and, when you are ready to start cooking again, the plug clicks when inserted so that you can be sure it’s securely in.

EA-DCC10 Disassembles

Fully disassemblable

All parts disassemble for cleaning and the body guard and the cooking plate can also be immersed in water.

The EA-DCC10 has been designed with safety in mind. The griddle will not heat up unless all parts have been properly installed. The body guard protects the user from scalding or burns, and the handles are heat resistant, so the griddle can be transported easily and moved around on the countertop.

This griddle is practical, versatile and easy-to-use. For more information, check out our demonstration video. And, as we promised… here are some great pancake recipes for you to try. Don’t forget to share your own recipes with other Zojirushi fans!
