I've only used the griddle once so far, and it worked like a champ. I assembled and seasoned it yesterday afternoon, and then cooked some burgers, hot dogs, and a mixture of sweet peppers/jalapenos/onions in the evening. It cooked much faster than I was expecting, and I'll need to use it a few more times to get used to the heat setting I like. Overall I'm impressed. The only negative thing is that one of the lid handle's attachment points had a bad female threading and it ended up cross threading the screw. I could only twist the screw in about halfway, so ended up having to use some washers I had laying around as spacers so I could tighten it down. It works for now, but I'll probably want to order a new handle at some point.
