One plug, a near-19-inch plate, and the whole table eats at the same time

At a Glance

  • Cooking surface: 18.89 x 10.24 in of die-cast aluminum plate, room for a full batch of pancakes or six burgers at once
  • Power: 1400 watts on a standard 120V outlet, with a detachable thermostat that sets and holds the heat
  • Surface: two-layer copper-coated nonstick, so eggs and pancakes release with little or no butter
  • Cleanup: a removable oil and drip tray catches grease as you cook, and the plate wipes clean
  • Warranty: 90-day limited warranty from MegaChef

Cooking breakfast for a family in a 10-inch skillet means someone always eats last. The MegaChef MCG-4826YA gives you an 18.89 by 10.24 inch copper-coated plate on a 1400-watt element, so pancakes, bacon, and eggs cook side by side and a built-in keep-warm zone holds the first batch while the second finishes. Grease drains to a removable tray, the thermostat pops off, and the whole thing stores about 3 inches tall.

Key Features

  • Family-size surface: The 18.89 x 10.24 in plate cooks eight pancakes, a dozen strips of bacon, or six burgers in one round instead of three shifts at the stove.
  • Copper-coated two-layer nonstick: The coating over die-cast aluminum releases eggs, cheese, and batter cleanly and lets you cook with a fraction of the oil a bare pan needs.
  • 1400 watts of even heat: A full-width element under the aluminum plate spreads heat edge to edge, so the pancake in the corner browns like the one in the middle.
  • Detachable thermostat: Dial in low for eggs or high for a burger sear, then pull the control off so the plate can be washed without wetting the electrics.
  • Keep-warm zone: A warming area on the plate holds finished food at serving temperature while the next batch cooks, so everything reaches the table hot together.
  • Removable oil and drip tray: Grease runs off the cooking surface into a slide-out tray, keeping bacon crisp instead of soggy and turning cleanup into rinsing one tray.
  • Indoor grilling year-round: Burgers, grilled cheese, quesadillas, and teppanyaki-style stir-fries happen on the counter with no propane, no smoke plume, and no weather to check.

What's Included

In the box: the 18.89 inch electric grill and griddle unit with its die-cast aluminum plate, the detachable temperature control with 29.5 inch cord, and the removable oil and drip tray.

Before You Buy

  • It is a flat griddle plate, not a ridged grill. The grill and griddle name refers to what you can cook on it; the surface is smooth, so burgers get a full sear rather than grill marks, and there is no separate warming rack, only the warming zone on the plate itself.
  • It claims almost 22 inches of counter. With the thermostat attached the unit runs about 21.75 in wide and 12 in deep, so clear a stretch of counter and check that the cabinet above gives you room to flip.
  • Nonstick-safe utensils only. Metal spatulas will scratch the copper coating; use silicone, nylon, or wood turners and skip abrasive scrubbers when you clean.
  • The control unit never goes in water. Detach the thermostat before washing, and wipe the plate rather than submerging the whole griddle; the plate does not go in the dishwasher.

Perfect For

  • Weekend pancake breakfasts and brunches for a family of four or more
  • Burger, grilled cheese, and quesadilla nights without firing up an outdoor grill
  • Stir-fries, fried rice, and teppanyaki-style cooking with a big flat surface

Care & Use

  • Unplug and detach the temperature control before cleaning; never immerse the control unit or cord in water.
  • Let the plate cool, then wipe the copper-coated surface with a soft sponge and warm soapy water. Hand wash only.
  • Empty and rinse the oil and drip tray after every use so grease does not bake on.
  • Use silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils only to protect the nonstick coating.
  • Preheat a few minutes with the thermostat set before adding food; the indicator light shows when the element is heating.

Why a big griddle beats a stack of pans

Everyone sits down together

A 10-inch skillet feeds one person at a time, and the cook eats last. Almost 19 inches of plate cooks pancakes, bacon, and eggs side by side, and the warm zone holds early plates until the last is done.

Grease drains off the plate

Bacon fat has nowhere to go in a pan, so strips sit and soak in it. Here the plate drains into a slide-out tray, the bacon stays crisp, and cleanup is one rinse instead of a scrub across the stovetop.

A grill night with no propane

Burgers, chicken, and quesadillas happen on the counter at 1400 watts, so the outdoor grill can stay covered in January. The flat copper-coated surface also handles smash burgers better than grates ever will.

The numbers that matter

Big surface, real power, small cleanup.

How does it compare to a skillet or a ridged indoor grill?

vs. a stovetop skillet

A skillet cooks two eggs or one burger at a time and ties up a burner. This plate cooks six burgers or a full batch of pancakes at once on one plug, with the stove free for coffee and sides.

vs. a ridged indoor grill

Ridged plates leave grill marks but drop batter, eggs, and diced vegetables between the ribs. A smooth griddle handles all of those plus a full-contact smash-burger sear, and it wipes clean in one pass.

vs. a stovetop griddle pan

A two-burner griddle pan has a hot stripe over each flame and a cold band between them. A 1400-watt element under the whole aluminum plate holds one thermostat-set temperature edge to edge.

Fits your space

A long, low griddle. Worth checking counter length before it arrives.

  • Nearly 22 in wide with the control attached, so it wants a clear stretch of counter rather than a corner.
  • Only 3 in tall, so it slides into a standard 4 in drawer or a shallow cabinet shelf between uses.
  • The 29.5 in cord reaches a backsplash outlet from most counter positions; plug it directly into the wall rather than a power strip.

FAQs

Common questions that customers ask

Is the copper coating safe to cook on?

Yes. The plate is die-cast aluminum with a two-layer copper-colored nonstick coating; cook on it as you would any nonstick pan and use non-metal utensils to keep the surface intact.

Can I use metal utensils on the griddle?

No. Metal spatulas and tongs scratch the nonstick coating. Use silicone, nylon, or wooden tools and clean with a soft sponge.

Does it have grill ridges or a warming rack?

Neither. The surface is a smooth flat plate with a keep-warm zone built into it, so you get a full sear rather than grill marks, and finished food waits on the warm area rather than a separate rack.

How do I clean it?

Unplug it and pull off the detachable thermostat, then wipe the cooled plate with warm soapy water and empty the drip tray. Never immerse the control unit, and keep the plate out of the dishwasher.

How big is it and how much counter does it take?

The cooking surface is 18.89 by 10.24 inches, and the whole unit measures about 21.75 inches wide, 12 inches deep, and 3 inches tall with the control attached. It weighs about 5 pounds.

How fast does it ship?

We ship to the 48 contiguous states and process within 2 business days, with tracking sent as soon as it leaves the warehouse.
