We've enjoyed using the sizzle griddle sucessfully to cook many items from  burgers, steaks, chicken, grilled vegetables & delicious sandwiches. The best part is everything we've made so far has cooked very evenly on both the grill & griddle plates.The appliance is easy to use, we just had to check & adjust the temperature a few times until we became accustomed to & learned the temperature levels. I wish the grilling surface was a bit bigger but we will use the outdoor grill when we need to serve a lot of guests.I have so many recipes I've yet to try but look forward to. Clean up is easy due to the non stick surface.  So far we're pleased overall.
