What a great griddle! Seasoned up perfectly. I did a total of 5 coats followed by cooking onions. This griddle is built very sturdy and it should last a long time. Looking forward to more cooks.
We chose Weber because of their long standing quality products. We were not disappointed. This griddle is awesome. We love to cook high quality meals at home. This griddle saves us time cooking and cleaning. The heat up is fast, the heat is even across the cook top. My daughter had a birthday party and cooking birria tacos for 20 was so quick!
Its the perfect size. Heats up quickly and evenly. Cleans easy. The side tables offer adequate space place uncooked items on one side and cooked items on the other. Storage shelf ovvers a place to keep your spices. Griddle tools and seasoning products.
If you take the time to thoroughly season the griddle it will make a world of difference. I used grapeseed oil and cycled through 4 seasoning actions. I use olive oil to cook with and nothing sticks, plus I have zero rust. The griddle puts out pretty even heat that fades slightly as you move further away from the burner center. This is a great addition to my grill assortment.
Since my very recent purchase I will say that my Weber 28 inch grill was rather easy to assemble and that the griddle is a very clean and simplistic attractive design. Very strong and solid build in all respects. I bought it from one of the big box stores at a good price and delivery was quick. I also bought after first use an Infrared (IR) Laser Thermometer gun which is indispensable for accurate timed cooking; I highly recommend for any griddle owner. So far, the accuracy of temperature controls appears to be good and as advertised. The superior design of having the drip pan and cutout in the front left vs competitors toward the rear center is a game changer if your grill location has a wall behind it. Plus this drip pan is larger and far more accessible for emptying and cleaning with ease. I am closely monitoring heat consistency and how quickly the griddle adjusts to settings and will advise later in more comment. However, I am sure I will get good temp' reads and highly recommend the Weber griddle to anyone looking for greater diversity in large volume or small cooking for their families and guests, Veggies, meats, eggs, pancakes, all can be done at the same time, one surface. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
Great griddle - my first try at griddling. Nice features, lights reliably, heats evenly. Downsides: only two wheels - hard to move around. Construction kind of flimsy, but, I guess, good enough. It's great, but I'd say it doesn't quite measure up to Weber quality.
