Simple to set up; simple to use; great results. We're experienced black pan and carbon steel wok users, so we seasoned the "pre-seasoned" top before cooking. Bought it a few weeks back and have used it daily since.
This is a heavy duty grill that should last for many years if properly cared for. The information states it comes pre-seasoned and ready to cook on, which I did, but in hindsight I would recommend seasoning it prior to the first cook. The seasoning and first cook did not go as well as planned, perhaps because I cooked on it first. But after a good cleaning and additional seasoning, it seems to be fine. But my veridict is still out on how well it cooks.
