The SECRET to cooking with STAINLESS steel!
I bought this griddle to replace a non-stick one that we have owned for years. My husband had heard so many things about the dangers of the chemical coatings entering food that he really wanted us to get rid of all our pots and pans and go to something "safer".

I had to admit that all my "coated" pans had deteriorated and been replaced many times because the coating just does not last....So, we decided to try stainless steel, even though my prior experiences with it years ago had meant sticky surfaces, uneven cooking and hard to clean.

The CHEF'S SECRET is a great, heavy-duty stainless griddle that is actually easy to clean (with a brillo or scrubber) and it cooks even better than the pans I have used in the past, including the non-sticks. You do have to have a good coating before cooking to avoid sticking, but we like olive oil and that seems to work well in addition to being good for you.

It has a nice heft to it and solid construction and I love having a lid available, particularly a glass one to keep an eye on the food.

I HIGHLY recommend this griddle for its abilities, construction and style!

Very Good Choice
I'm not a fan of non-stick cookware or aluminum cookware. So the choices for pancakes are limited to stainless steel or cast-iron. I looked into purchasing a cast-iron griddle at a local store. It was a really nice piece. However, I didn't feel confident that I'd have the time to keep the iron "seasoned" to prevent it from rusting. Since this unit was double the price of the cast-iron griddle, I'd been eying it for a while, but hesitant to pull the trigger. Well I finally did.

First thing I noticed when I opened the box, is that this unit is very heavy, and seems well constructed. The instructions say to wash it before using, so I had to wait a day before trying it. I used cooking spray about 2 times for 15+ pancakes. It heats evenly on the stove and I was able to fit 3 pancakes at a time with ease. I was using a 12 inch fry pan before which only allowed one pancake at a time. Cleanup required steel wool, but not much elbow grease. I am definitely pleased with this purchase.

Excellent Griddle
I received this griddle as a gift, and I have never been more pleased. It heats more evenly than any other griddle on the market--you can literally use every inch of space and expect the same results, even if your burner is not exactly the same size as the griddle. It also cleans up beautifully and easily. I have made pancakes and french toast so far. I highly recommend this griddle; it is well worth the price.

The handles do get just a little hot after awhile, so be careful. Also, unlike with other pans that "radiate" heat that you can feel with your hand, this pan will not "feel" hot--and it will heat up quickly--so test with a little water first or it will get too hot on you.
