Coleman RoadTrip Full-Size Aluminum Griddle


... We bought this griddle, which states it is for use with all Coleman Road Trip grills, for our larger-size Coleman Road Trip Pro Grill SS
Coleman Road Trip Pro Grill SS
First, we confirmed that, although this griddle is smaller and fits the smaller Coleman Road Trip Grills, such as
Coleman 9949-750 Road Trip Grill, Red
Coleman 9941-768 Road Trip Grill (Blue)
this griddle would still work in the larger grills. (The one-sided pieces available for the smaller grills, will not work in the larger Road Trip grills.)

Instructions that came with the griddle said to not use it with other grilling surfaces, so we took out the grate, and after some maneuvering, found that the best placement is toward the front (with the fat catcher toward the front), with the small legs resting on the heat tents. We cannot close the grill lid while using the griddle, but this isn't necessary - the grill is plenty hot enough, set just slightly above medium.

The first time I used this griddle, I was amazed. No other griddle I have ever used (ESPECIALLY the electric griddle I have inside), produces the even heating of this one. The bacon came out excellent, each of the six slices (1/4 pound) heating evenly, placed wide across the griddle face. The bacon was fatty, and the grease catcher filled approximately 1/4 to 1/3 full (the griddle was at a very slight slant toward the grease catcher), so was fully capable of holding up to a pound without overflowing.

I followed with an omelet for my husband and two eggs over-easy for myself. Even though the griddle was at a slight slant, the eggs only slightly started running, but because the surface so evenly heated, I was able to just touch them with my spatula and they did not run further.

It was the best breakfast of its type that we have had. Our electric stove (appliance)inside does not heat our anodized, nonstick, even-heating pans as evenly as the Road Trip Grill with the Aluminum Griddle. I look forward to more great breakfasts from this awesome griddle and highly recommend it to anyone with any of the Coleman grills on which it can be used. ...
