I bought it because I wanted a stove top stainless griddle that's not simply a pan. I use mine on a gas stove top, I took bolt cutters and cut slots into the support bracing (underneath the cooking surface) where the grates on my stove are so it sits flat and securely. Works quite well with that modification, I can post a few pictures as well if need be.
If you plan to use it on a stove top without modifying it to sit into the grates of your stove, then be aware that it will likely not sit right. Possibly rocking or sliding around are both issues I came across before I modified it.
I will note that if you make the same modification you have to take into account that the bracing is necessary for the structure not to warp under heat, so you have to be careful how you modify it to leave as many of the underside bracing and welds intact. Also while this modification is very effective on a gas stove top it would not work on an electric burner, though that would seem obvious I would like to state that so there is no confusion.
It only gets 4 stars because...
1. I had to modify it for my needs, even though it's the best griddle that suits my needs at reasonable price, it was worth the trouble to get and modify it to suit my needs.
2. While it is heavy stainless, it is still relatively thin, all things considered. The result is that on a stove top, with concentrated points of heat, the heat is not diffused very well. So you end up with 2 hot spots (Not an issue on a grill though as the heat is already diffused). The support structure underneath the griddle also serves to focus the flames onto sections underneath the griddle surface, further focusing the heat onto a smaller area.
Even with the 2 downsides, I still bought it, still like it, would get it again, and give it 4 stars.perfect for using on the grill. a good size and easy to clean. really nice product and it came quickly.
