My husband liked this for the amount of pancakes he had to make one weekend. It heated up quickly and didn't take up too much counter space while he was making breakfast.  He said it didn't cook completely evenly, so he didn't love it as much as he hoped. Does it work? Absolutely.  Did it get the job done faster than our skillet pan? Yes. Will we use it again? Yes, just likely not as often as he might wish to.
