DFun to use. Fairly easy to assemble but Weber has definitely moved away from their toolless quick assembly philosophy). Everyone in the family uses it! Pre seasoned and a breeze to clean! Great for breakfast, lunch and dinner cooking.
The appearance and build of this griddle is fantastic. The size works well for a family of 6 and the nonstick surface works well. I’ve used it almost every day since receiving it and appreciate ones ability to move food around the surface to keep things warm while cooking other items.
I love the fact that after using the griddle I can be rest assured that the next cook when I take my cover off all I have to do is turn it on and cook I don’t have to worry about it being rusted up. It is worth paying a little more for the slate top just to have peace of mind.
Have cooked a number of meals on the Slate and very pleased with its performance. Heats up quickly, temp across the cooktop is very even, front corner grease trap is great. Clean up was easy compared to my last flattop - with one J gave it a good scraping, add a little water to steam off any hard spots and dried it off. Took 2-3 minutes to complete. I got the 30 inch model, was use to a 36 flattop but I do not miss the extra space. It’s expensive but I’m finding worth the money
