I love this griddle! It heats up quickly and evenly.  It cooked my pancakes and sausage perfectly! The nonstick surface is great. I did not even need to use a cooking spray! Nothing sticks to it and it makes cleaning the pan very easy. It is a very durable pan and very high quality. I love that I can use metal utensils with it since I have had many other pans damaged that way. It is also great that it can go in the oven and dishwasher. I love the sleek look of it. This is a great griddle and I highly recommend this Calphalon product. You will not be disappointed!
