Makes breakfast a snap!
I got this for my husband for Christmas and we made a huge breakfast complete with french toast and bacon from this griddle. It lays nicely on the stove and cooks great. Our only complaints were that it didn't come with a shred of directions on how to season it or clean it or anything, and it was a bit pricey!
Great Grill/Griddle
This is a very good grill. It heats and holds heat very well, and does a pretty good job of heating evenly, although there are "hot spots" on the grill in between the 2 burners.
A tip from my wife for cleaning is to put a damp paper towel over the grill when you finish cooking, and after it has cooled a little and letting it set. It makes clean-up a lot easier.
Fabulous Giant Grill/Griddle
I have used the grill side several times since purchasing it and am VERY pleased. It is a little pricey but it also has a coating that a Lodge or other cast iron grill/griddles don't have.I also believe the grill marks are superior to other grills. Tough to fit into the budget but I think it was worth it! First of all, for those people that are getting rust spots after washing, you must dry your griddle by reheating it until any excess water evaporates. I then rub a light coat of oil into the pan when it's still slightly warm. If you have the rust spots just wash the grill with a brush and follow the drying and oiling process I explained above. You should quickly build a nice patina to your grill. It should only take a few times of doing this ... Read More
Beautiful presentation, questionable price
I've used this grill/griddle at work instead of our standard grill due to it's tighter grill pattern. The "bars" are very close together compared to a normal grill and the presentation was BEAUTIFUL on petite 2-3oz filets. The numerous and tight crosshatch pattern was very appealing to the eye on the little medallions as opposed to the 2 lines each way i could sqeeze on the little medaillions. The tight pattern also means more contact area which equals more caramelization and flavor. I was so impressed, I went on amazon to see how much it would cost me to have one at home. I personally wouldnt spend the money, but I must admit that the presentation is beautiful.
Cast iron is cast iron. If it sticks and/or rusts, it's because it is ... Read More
Everything sticks and it rusts
The title says it all. Food sticks to it. Especially the grill side. It leaves pieces of the chicken breast all over the grill and it's tough to clean. After you do clean it, there are rust spots all over it, so you have to clean it before you use it again! Go with non-stick or cast iron.
