I purchased this griddler to replace the second flat top griddle in as many years. We use a griddle everyday and I have to say "This one is fantastic!"  So many features. First meal was seared balsamic crusted pork tenderloin. Searing feature left a wonderful crust on the fillets and the fact that you can wear on both sides at the same time for up to two minutes and then it switches to a user selectable cooking temp I just st slid my temperature probe into the meat and waited for the correct temperature and it came out perfect. We have had several breakfasts on it also with excellent results. Highly recommended!
