It's good. One complaint is that it is not sealed tightly against the edges. So in the initial cleaning off of [motor oil?], the hot soap water bubbled up from under the griddle top all around the edges. Not enough experience with griddles to know what's normal but it bugs me to think what that means for food grease.And the parallels it draws for my mortality. Ew.It heats well, stronger in the center pancake lanes than either edge lane (not as advertised) but I like having cooler spots to move food to.Also fun to mundanely entertain myself by starting 4 French toasts on the outside two lanes and move to do the the middle 4 last so they'll be done nearly together. Optimizing breakfast, ammirite?Don't plan to keep a section free of a single food contaminant like an allergen. It won't work. I doubt I'll believe a restaurant who says they do this after trying to myself. Just buy a sectioned one. Griddle, obviously, not restaurant. I mean seriously, segregation is against the law.Mildly related PSA to provoke equality thoughts: Don't segregate the allergy kids at lunch, no matter how tempting that step backwards is.BACK TO BUSINESS it works best under a stovetop hood or your house will smell even with light use if you eat meat. It's very effective with sausage. Fastest pound of sausage ever. I'm allergic to sausage.It's heavy (60 lbs.) so have someone able to lift it back and forth or plan to replace your stovetop cooking with it.If you are vegetarian or don't cook with much oil you could get by without using the hood range. Fwiw I forgot to turn the fan on with meat substitute burgers the other day and didn't notice a house smell. Used oil for grilled onions, butter substitute for grilled buns.Last things, my teenage kids like to cook on it and it's very easy to clean. That feels like it should have been the title. #regretsyoufeelbutdontchange #ryfbdcIgnore online temperature recommendations. They're all over the board including some that say this griddle can't get hot
