I am very pleased with my Zojirushi - Gourmet Sizzler® Electric Griddle! It was easy to assemble, I just had to put the heating plate on and plug the temperature control plug in and it was ready to go! I let it preheat at 350 for 8 minutes per instructions and when I put my bacon on, it was sizzling right away! I then added my potatoes and those sizzled immediately as well. I let them cook for probably about 7 minutes while turning the bacon every now and then. They cooked perfectly! I then added my egg whites to the griddle and had a little bit of a hard time. They ran all over and I had to quickly scoop them in a pile. Once I got them into the pile, they cooked in a couple minutes. Everything came out amazing! The griddle is perfect size to cook everything at once! Griddle was easy to clean, I just wiped it down with a wet paper towel while it was warm! I love this and highly recommend it!
