Nice product. Cooks everything well except for eggs. The griddle is not nonstick by any means. Using cooking oil is a must to cook eggs. Nonstick should mean just that “Nonstick.”
I like the easiness of cleaning plates and grease tray and reversibility of plates. I still did not get the grip on how to open Griddler without the spilling of grease from the top plate on the countertop. Also I am missing the option to change the time or temperature once they are set.
This is my second griddled. My first one was over 10 years old and finally showing its age. I saw this one and decided to upgrade. I prefer the digital controls over the old ones dials. One of the best features of the "Five" is that the plates are reversible ( the old one had 2 sets that you had to store and try to keep up with). So far I've used it to cook hamburgers and boneless chicken thighs on the griddle, and used the flat panels for panini and pressed Cuban bread. All devious and perfectly cooked.
