My wife and I make pancakes every Saturday morning. Often we have guests over for breakfast. This griddle allows us to serve fresh pancakes to everyone at the same time. Sometimes we even make pancakes, eggs, & sausage all at the same time. Everything cooks quickly, never sticks, and cleanup is easy. 

The only down side to this item is that the cook surface does not maintain uniform temperature at higher temperature settings. It is hotter on the edges than in the center. If the product picture was accurate, the outer pancakes would be a bit darker than the inner ones. If you keep the temperature a little lower, the problem pretty much goes away.
