I recently converted to cast iron, and I love it, but it is heavy and in this case I wanted something I could make grilled cheese, quesadillas, french toast etc. I decided to try out stainless steel again, as I used it years ago as a cook in New York. The pan is amazingly beautiful, thick stainless all the way to the nice smooth edges, and larger than I expected. It fits the wider bread I use easily, four slices at a time. I seasoned it by heating it on med-high heat, then spread oil on it and cooked until it smoked. I wiped it off after it cooled, and then made french toast. NO STICKING at all. I also made scrambled eggs with green chile, and no sticking there either.The only negatives: The handle is long. I have a standard sized stove, and the handle is long enough that it blocks some counter top area as I have to turn it sideways. I am guessing it is long to give more leverage, making it easy to move and carry. Also, the handle is a little on the narrow side, just a personal preference as it does not impair my using it, even with arthritic hands. After seasoning, the trick is to pre-heat the pan, lightly oil it and then add your food. I have a smaller skillet that I seasoned just like cast iron, with high heat and repeatedly cooking the oil to smoke point, and it does not stick unless I forget and do not heat it first. I am sure this is the same. Later I cooked ham on it, and of course it did not stick but it did leave behind the dark salty residue that burns, and that will make the next meal stick. It must be free of rough burnt on debris for it not to stick.I am very happy with the quality of this pan. I hope to buy a saute pan soon, and get rid of the last of my teflon, which sticks despite being teflon. I even got the huge gorgeous one at Costco for $160 and within a year it stuck too. Teflon is just bad.

This SS griddle is the best! I own very expensive AllClad and Calphalon SS but even they can mark if they get too hot or if you don't heat them properly. This griddle my 13 year old can use for grilled cheese and he can just wipe it down with soapy water and rinse, and it comes clean like new. I have to use stainless steel cleaner on my other pans but this one just gets clean with a wipe. There is no chemical coating on it - it is just quality, highly reflective steel. I think because it is so polished there is no fine graining like you see in other quality SS pans. It is so smooth it just wipes clean. And the price was unbeatable! I have pain 200 for similar pans that I don't use anymore because they are too hard to clean. I have an induction range and this heats up great on it, even though it is square and my induction burners are round. I get 4 pancakes on it at a time - the outside edges of the pancakes are lighter in color but not uncooked, which can happen with some induction ranges if the pan is not as conductive. LOVE IT!

I love the pan! The handle does not get hot and does not get in the way of cooking. I clean it with soap and hot water each time and use extra-virgin olive oil for frying French toast, pancakes, & scrambled eggs! The picture of the pan I took is after about five uses already and it is very shiny and smooth and works great. I would recommend you buy it!

We bought this for its seemly good quality make, very good reviews and the square shape seemed good use of the cooking area. HOWEVER, this one seems to be a "lemon" as it warped in the middle, that is has a crowning in the middle where the oils go to the corners. We will attempt to ghreturn it even thou we are past Amzon's 30 day period to do so with out our paying the return postage. We use in only on weekends for pancakes and french toast, so far an would use it for othe items as time goes on. We are stiil impressed with the design and the good reviews others have expereinced and it should be a good qualiny item. We would entertain a replacement as we are with in the manfactures warrantee time. If we do get an exchange, we will gladly update this review.Update, 31 March, 2022, ... Received the new one, and it is the same, with a crown in the middle of the pan. This can be seen on both sides. This causes the oils to roll to the corners making the center dry, and hotter, yielding uneven heat when cooking. See the images where daylight can be seen at the edges of the straight edge on the top (cooking surface) of the pan, and daylight under the straigt edge in the middle on the bottom, showing it is bowed on both sides. This should be flat. It is a shame as the square configuration one would think giving you more surface area for your food to cook. Sadly we will have to return it and look for something else. NOTE: we are cookinng on an induction cook top, but that should not make any difference, the pan should distribute the heat evenly no matter the heat source.Thrid and final review. Sadly this is not only warped where it crates a dome in the center of the pan, it is also twisted, rocing from corner to corner. Maybe it is the five layers rather than the three as most othe pans lik this have. I don't know but we just know it does not work and we were so impressed with its beefy make and good reviews. It is a very goo idea so they just need to get this warping issue addressed.

This griddle replaced a 48 year old West Bend griddle that had warped.Pros: Very good heat distribution, much better than the aluminum griddleI bought; didn't slide around on the stove top; half of the handle from the middle to the end stays cool; high edges; doesn't need much cooking spray; easy to cleanCons: one of the curved edges is not symmetric with the others but this does not affect usage (and the reason for a one star reduction).This griddle is heavy (a plus) and does not have a non-stick coating, which is what I was looking for. At this point, would purchase again.

I have been getting rid of my pans with non stick coating and replacing them with stainless. This griddle works perfectly for grilled sandwiches and pancakes, etc. It is well made and a great size for what I want to cook. I'm sure it will become one of my favourite pans!Update - sadly this pan does not work on my new induction stove :(

Este sartén lo utilizo como sustituto de un antiadherente que ya estaba perdiendo el recubrimiento. Como todo sartén de acero inoxidable hay que utilizarlo de manera adecuada para evitar que la comida se pegue y que quede manchado. Si se utiliza correctamente siempre parece nuevo, se unió a la familia de sartenes de acero inoxidable que ya tengo y que me parecen los mejores para preparar alimentos. Eso si peso un poco mas que los antiadherentes pero vale la pena y mucho. Estoy muy satisfecho con el.

this unit is as sturdy as hell, you could weld this to the side of the Titanic and it would hold out the water. a little effort to clean after use but well worth the results. great for pancakes.

Una ves que se calienta, es excelente.
