My new Weber 28" griddle works beautifully. Can do it all from hot dogs, burgers, sausage peppers and onions. It's the King of breakfast. Pancakes, eggs, bacon at its best. I love it!
Same high quality product I have come to expect from Weber I own multiple Weber products . The only thing I would change would be to add a handle to move griddle easier.
So far it’s all we wanted. We started with some smash burgers that turned out great and even did a Korean BBQ. It heats fast and evenly. Can’t wait to do some steaks on it.
Easy to assemble, just read through directions first to familiarize yourself with the unit. Follow seasoning instructions. I added one more layer of oil to bake in. First batch still sticks a little, but just go slow. Use good quality spatulas with tapered edges. Two breakfasts and two griddled salmon filets later, I am very happy with this griddle.
THE GRIDDLE IS GREAT BUT THE SHELVES ON THE SIDE GET SO HOT THAT IT WILL MELT PLASTIC IF YOU SET IT ON THERE. I HAVE OWNED MANY WEBER ITEMS IN THE PAST BUT THIS IS STRANGE. THERE IS A WARNING SIGN CLOSE TO THE GRIDDLE THAT SAYS HOT BUT THE ENTIRE SHELF GETS INCREDIBLY HOT, SO HOT YOU CANT HARDLY PUT YOUR HAND ON IT. AND IF THE WARNING IS FOR THE ENTIRE SHELF, WHY HAVE A SHELF?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Your feedback is valuable to us, and we apologize for any disappointment.
The shelf areas closest to the griddle are expected to get hot and we always recommend using hand protection when operating the griddle. However, the areas from the triangular warning to the exterior of the shelves should remain cool enough for food prep and storage.
