I have used this for cooking breakfast with eggs, pancakes, and sausage. The griddle I replaced got really hot at just half way on so it took a while to get used to this one because I had to turn it to at least 5 just to cook pancakes, so there is a lot of wiggle room at the low end of the heat control. That works well for pancakes and eggs but took a little long for sausage. It is easy to clean and doesn't have a natural slope so the eggs stay in place.
