I purchased this to cook bacon and vegetables on the grill. My wife does not like the smoke and smell that bacon generates in the house when cooked on the stove or in the oven. I, on the other hand, think of it as an air freshener for the house. Since I did not win that battle-of-the-bacon, I decided to start cooking it on the grill with much better results. However, I was making pans with tinfoil and wanted something more durable.
This griddle is very durable being made of heavy gauge steel. It is heavy and the seams are welded. It has a riser on the backside so you can fold it in to have the pan lie flat, and fold it out to have the pan sit up at an angle for draining liquids. It is so well made that it will perform flawlessly with continuous use such as in a busy restaurant.
The advertising makes it look much larger than it is: The display image of the pan shows three sausage links, scrambled eggs, and two pancakes. In reality, you will only get one normal size pancake on it since the entire pan is only 9x11 inches. Because of its size, it actually fits perfect on my side burner, but is too close to the grill's adjustment knob in that configuration.
I don't recommend cooking anything more than just a few strips of bacon on it. The drip trough is not very big and will not accommodate holding much grease. Besides, bacon tastes better when it is cooked in its own grease. Therefore, I am still using the tinfoil-pan method of cooking bacon which is working well as I can cook one pound at one time on a normal size gas grill.
Overall, this pan works great for cooking vegetables and maybe a pancake, plus it is well made. I feel it is a great deal for the money. I recommend it, but not for cooking items that need a larger size griddle.
