Negative Positive
Title: Overrated
Review: I had one of these, though I didn't buy it from amazon.com. I recently tossed it out as it didn't live up to expectations. The nonstick coating doesn't work well and after washing there is often a white residue on the exposed aluminum on the back. When this first happened, I thought it was due to the dishwasher detergent (though it's supposedly dishwasher safe). It still happens when hand washing with Dawn dish soap. Also, steel plates would heat more evenly than the aluminum which is used. Lastly, it smells odd when cooking, making the food smell less appetizing. I plan on replacing it with a Zojurishi electric grill since I've had nothing but good experience with that brand. I'll have to turn food over to cook both sides, but that's not difficult and it has a cast iron grill for even heating.
