This is an excellent griddle in most respects. The only thing I noticed about this size though is that the left side gets hotter than the right. The heat does not seem to be evenly distributed on the cook top. So, it's fine to give you a place on the right side to keep something warm, but the left side is where you are going to cook. So, think about that on griddle top size before you purchase. I can live with this one, but I wish I had gone with the next size up because I wanted the whole cook top for cooking and with this one, your food won't cook evenly if you try to cover the griddle from side-to-side.
