Love the size,the even heating and the fast cook time.This griddle is large enough to cook,eggs,bacon and sausages at the same time,so everything stays hot.But for me  the best way to test is to cook eggs,if it makes perfect eggs,it's a keeper,the eggs were great.The even heating is perfect for grilled cheese sandwiches.I have used it every day since I got it,clean up is easy,so no worries there.Great product!!
