I love this griddle. I have been using it almost daily since I got it. I feel as though it is easy to clean and set up. I even used the steak recipe from the book that comes with it. Loving the ease of just wiping to clean and cooking. 

There is only one thing that I would say is difficult, when cleaning, there is a gap between the griddle and the frame that food can fall into. So, after it cools, and you are done cleaning the top, I recommend running a paper towel in the gap and then holding it upside down to get the food out. 

Overall, I love this thing and I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family.
