Customer Reviews

Mario's Pitiful Piastra
I purchased a Batali Italian Grill Piastra in January. I used it perhaps 10 times. Despite taking good care of the stone, it cracked completely across the stone. Given the experiences of the other reviewers, you would do well to pass on this piece of junk.

Junk
Purchased in December 2008 used it about 15 times in a 2 month period then it split in half. Contacted Wilco,the manufacturer and they sent another one that looks like it has been repaired but used it 6 times in a 2 week period and now there is a crack that runs all the way around the piastra so it is just a matter of time before this one breaks in two also. I have stopped using per the included instructions and am returning it to the manufacturer for a refund. Food tasted great on it for the time I used it but not worth $50 for so few uses.

Great Product--well worth the money
When i first viewed the product i thought it was a little pricey. Went ahead and ordered anyway and am i glad i did!! Product is high quality and the quality and taste of food prepared on it is actually much better than even Mario states in his cookbook. i highly recommend this for cooks who like seared,quick cooked seafood and find vegetables are outstanding when cooked on it as well. Clean up is easy and just as described it ends up looking like a well seasoned piece of cooking equipment and that adds to the flavor.
