The griddle is great, the 2nd handy plate ridges party with friends or pancakes. The coating is different utensils for large and small pancakes are fine. But I am disappointed by its operation: resistance heaters, then stops and takes too long to heat up. Result, we alternated pancakes cook very well, and those that take too long to cook. It is very painful. I thought Lagrange was a better brand, my mother was one that worked very well. I regret not having set price for purchasing a krampouz.
