I have had my soapstone for 1 year and have really enjoyed it extending my toolbox while playing with my KJ! I would rank it just below the Joetisserie & the new basket kit (completely awesome!) as my 3rd favorite accessory. My kids line up for the perfect smash burgers it produces and I use routinely for salmon and also makes for great seared scallops. As you can see from the picture, perfect sear marks and (mostly) non-stick...You should season with olive oil prior to adding the fish and then you are fine. Relax and give it the right amount of time to heat up and you will see perfect results every time!
