The box Wayfair ships this in is a bit alarming and doesn’t make you feel much better when you get the standard box out of that. But it was packaged well and unscathed, and not quite as huge as all the boxing made it appear. You can definitely tell this thing heats up quickly be careful to not hit your finger against the side, as those spots are also hot, per the little burn I now have on my finger. Trial and error though, and was able to whip up some bacon alongside cinnamon pecan pancakes beautifully in no time. I’m OBSESSED.
