I have this griddle for a while. She has always worked well even if the heater lack of consistency from beginning to end of a series of pancakes. The plate now has oil stuck to the burned areas Teflon coating all around, it is impossible to remove me, yet I have tried many products and recipes gleaned here and there. The price of the single plate on parts of sites, equivalent to the price of this device here ... I therefore used more and buy do not think the same as it is not given.
