I’m so happy that I purchased the Zojirushi griddle. This griddle has just about made my stove obsolete.  Very different from my old model as it does not have a grease catch, is incredibly easy to clean, deep sides, even heat, and has a top! I’ve used it to fry fish and meats, reheat rice dishes and of course pancakes. My favorite thing is to use it to bake pita bread.
