I bought this 2 months ago and have put my toaster oven away.  I use the griddle for basically all my cooking.  I have made Paninis, cook all my fish, hamburgers and steaks on the grille side.  I roast my asparagus on it.  It takes a Minute to clean.  It is 50 times better than the George Forman Grill.  I do not know what I did before I got it
