GreenPan Griddle Review

Thanks to the open Internet, anyone can leave a review, comment, or rating. Some are accurate and helpful and others are not. Up to 50% of online reviews are fake.

After years of looking for an induction compatible griddle for my cooking videos, I found the GreenPan® Valencia Pro griddle. Like most products, it was rated 1 to 5 stars. The 1-star reviews claimed everything stuck to the griddle and it was very difficult to clean. These reviews contradicted reviews by highly reputable sources. Not surprisingly, the highly reputable sources won out.
