Supposedly this griddle is ok to wash in the dishwasher.  After about 10 uses and dishwasher cycles absolutely everything sticks so the griddle went in the trash.  Don't purchase unless you plan on washing it by hand as the "non-stick" reference will no longer work at all and rust has come through the "non-stick" surface.  This is a piece of junk. Save your money and buy some other brand.  By the way, no one will return your emails or calls about problems with the griddle. DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!  By the way, THE COMPANY WON'T EVEN RESPOND AT ALL TO THE COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THE PRODUCT EVEN THOUGH I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THEM VIA PHONE AND EMAILS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS.   DO NOT BUY AS IT IS JUNK AND WILL WIND UP IN THE LANDFILL !!!
