I am really pleased with the performance of this grill. I was a short order cook for many years at a restaurant. This grill comes real close to uniformity of heat and surface area to cook. The steak bombs I have made have been fabulous. The breakfast homefries, eggs, omelets, and of course those great blueberry pancakes are just the best!

Great Basic Grill for Kitchen

My husband is a professional cook and he selected this over a similarly priced one that had the option to leave grill marks (combination grill and griddle) from Cuisinart. He gave up that option to have the back splash feature. It keeps grease from going out that direction and probably reflects heat back also. This is a huge grill but he likes to cook alot at once and then have leftovers. It is definitely worth the money.

A large enough griddle

This griddle is large enough to actually cook on, it has the space for 6-8 pancakes or pancakes and bacon. It was just what I was looking for.

Non-Stick?

The first use was a disaster, I made a pancake batter, preheated the grill and the cakes stuck to grill surface making a big mess.

Great Grill!

We love this grill! It is big enough to cook breakfast for 4. It is quick to heat up and the entire grilling surface is the same temperature. You don't have hot and cold zones. The splatter guard also sets this grill apart and I love the fact that it has a drain on it. Would and have recommended this grill to others.
