This Electric Griddles give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Big Disappointment
I had read numerous reviews about this griddle and everyone raved about the quality and eveness of heat distribution and cooking. I waited three months for it and have never been so disappointed in a product. The handles felt thin and sharp on the edges. The feet were likewise sharp on the edges and did not sit totally level on the counter. I followed the instructions, washed it, seasoned it with some canola oil and then proceeded to cook breakfast for our guests. It held 8 pancakes at a time. The two near the control never got brown, the four in the center were almost black and the two at the far end came out beautiful. I tried it repeatedly that morning with the same disapppointing results each time. Maybe I got a lemon, but it certainly did not live up to it's glowing reports and did not do half as well as the cheaper model from a competitor that I have been using.
2. Very Dissapointed - especially with Broil King Customer Service
Our children purchased this product for us, on our recommendation, on the strength of some nice reviews on Epinions and a few other websites. Our overall experience with this product was unfortunately not positive. After just over 1 year of usage the product is no longer usable, and an email sent to the published customer service address at BroilKing went unanswered.
Pros: Large. American Made. Even heating. Can tip slightly for grease run off.
Cons: Expensive, especially for an appliance which lasted only 1 year in infrequent service. Poor application of non-stick coating, the coating was peeling off in several areas the day we got it. These areas were on the side, not on the area where one would cook, so we didn't return it. Hard to clean, due to there being areas where food would collect that were hard to get at, specifically between the handles and the cooking surface. No channel to direct grease to run-off pan, so the griddle would tend to overflow...

Very Pleased With Purchase / Small Quality Control Issues?
Like the one reviewer of this product. The first griddle I received had very uneven legs and would not sit level. I tried to tighten the screws that secured the legs to griddle to correct the problem, but to no avail. I returned the first one, and received a replacement soon after. The second griddle I received sat level, and was as steady as a rock. It heats quickly and evenly. I am very pleased with this purchase. I don't know why they recommend seasoning the griddle with cooking oil? I did this with the first unit I received, and the oil just got sticky/tacky and was hard to clean off. With the second unit, I decided not to season it. So far I've only cooked pancakes on it, but just with warm soapy water I'm easily able to clean off the nonstick surface to like new condition. I really like the grey cooking surface, something different then the usual black. Aside from the small quality control issue with the first griddle. The griddle seems to be relatively well built...
