Chef's Design Ribbed Double Burner Grill Specifications
This 10-3/8-by-18-7/8-inch heavy cast-aluminum griddle fits over two gas or electric rangetop burners, including flat surface rangetops, making it easy to cook for a large group. The ribbed surface lets you grill steaks and seafood, just like on your outdoor grill. The ribs hold food above the griddle so fats drain into the recessed channel, while the juices cook in the wells, "smoking" the food for that outdoor flavor. The nonstick surface is reinforced with stainless steel, which forms a permanent base for the nonstick coating. That means it will last up to 100 times longer than other nonsticks. The commercial-grade cast aluminum conducts heat more evenly than other surfaces, and at lower temperatures--in fact, you should use only low-to-medium heat with this griddle. As an added feature, the superconductive aluminum also works well to thaw frozen foods without the use of heat (steaks in 30-45 minutes, chicken in 20-30). Use only wooden, nylon, or nonmetallic utensils. Hand wash without abrasives.

Poor Quality Double-sided griddle - Dan Darrel - Salinas, CA USA
We bought this double-sided griddle and followed the directions for its care. Unfortunately, the so-called non-stick surface areas wore out, especially in the areas under the gas burners. The ribbed sections have exposed the aluminum metal which has turned whitish and speckled. Thus, its ability to cook with has been compromised. We no longer use it. This was made by the Wisconsin Alum Fndry.
Despite the above, we did find a better quality one-sided flat grill made by the same company. The surface coating is of much higher quality than the ribbed griddle. It's about the same size as the ribbed griddle, but it's much heavier. We've used it on our gas stove without any problems, and so far, the non-stick surface coatings have withstood numerous uses. Of course, we did pay more for it than the ribbed griddle.
We don't understand why the Wisconsin Alum Fndry would market the double-sided ribbed griddle because we've read a number of complaints about its quality. The non-stick surface coatings just did not hold up. They should take them off the market.
Rangtop griddle - Gary L. Du Priest -
We found this griddle to be extremely hard to clean.....almost impossible, in fact. I'm not happy with it at all.
Chef's Design Nonstick griddle CAN'T be cleaned. IT'S A LIE! - NYC Consumer - New York, NY
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! I can't tell you how angry I am that my wife bought this piece of junk cookware. We cooked some chicken on it, a few burned and left some charcoal-like chunks and residue stuck to the ribs of the griddle. Fine. It should wash off easily right because it has a NONSTICK coating. IT'S A LIE!! It's nonstick in NAME ONLY. So what do you do? You have to scrub it off with a wire brush. And all those bits of so-called nonstick coating peel away and later flake away INTO your food the next time you cook with it! How dangerous is that? Ridiculous product with a ridiculous claim. This Wisconsin company should be SUED! I have sent a letter to the Better Business Bureau of that state.
Poor design, mediocre quality - -
I received this as a gift, and was looking forward to cooking up lots of pancakes or french toast at once. However, because of the design of the grease/juice wells on two corners, the griddle will not sit evenly on my gas range. I tried various positions, but gave up. If your range has square racks, avoid this.
One more thing - after relatively few uses, and only using wooden spatulas, the "nonstick" surface began to wear and foods started sticking badly.
