Does this griddle heat evenly? Many griddles heat and therefore brown food unevenly, I would like to avoid this.

All griddles have some uneven heat distribution issues, but this one does a pretty good job in my opinion. I personally haven't noticed any significant problems with mine.

It's not 100% perfectly even, but reasonably even. There aren't any huge variations in temperature.

In a normal oven the lower you place the pan on the rack the hotter the bottom will get and it will brown. It worked for me!

Yes, it's heats evenly. I use it a lot for "deep" frying shrimp, chicken, et. al. I have never had hot spots, and I have never had food stick. I love it! I've never cleaned the pan in the dishwasher, but it cleans up easily and still looks new.

only the center circle heats, but a good pan should disperse the heat and you do need to stir once in a while. Would not be good for making pancakes around edge of pan....I do love mine for stews, soups, sauces, etc.

I do not have this griddle. However, setting the griddle on the BBQ burner would cause uneven heating, restricting flame from the burner possibly damaging the burner itself.

We have found that this crock-pot heats rather unevenly, and food tends to "stick" and overcook along the lower edge of the inside of the crock itself. One learns not to stir too deeply, or you will have dark "flecks" of overcooked (burnt) food in your recipe.

Yes great. You can do 8 at one time. Just DO NOT use anything but a metal spatula and cook over low heat. The griddle gets very hot.

I have a gas stove. But it heats pretty evenly on mine. Good griddle pan. Just don't use high heat on it. Not necessary.

Not really. If I were to divide the griddle into thirds, the middle third did not cook as quickly as the outer two thirds. I usually try not to cook too much in the middle. Overall, I still like this griddle and would buy it again.

I have looked at griddles at a number of sources but have not purchased one yet. The grill on mine has warped because it is aluminum I think. Very sorry I did not keep my old grill which had a cast one.

They connect griddle to lid but they do get in the way. Ours isn't greatest with heat distribution. It has one side corner that gets heat enough to cook. Hopeful it will break in and be more even cooking. But I disconnected chains as they were pain. Easy as you assemble it just done connect chains to base unit. One Chain runs from base to the cover other runs from cover to the griddle.

The bottom is completely flat until it is heated. On most electric cooktops, uneven heating is inevitable because the pot's bottom is larger than the electric heating element. The uneven heating results in considerable outward bowing of the bottom (a half inch on my pot), and this (in turn) leads to even less even heating and still more bowing. This pot is not well suited for cooking on an electric cooktop.Once cooled, the bottom regains flatness.

This has never happened to me, and we have used griddle outside in below freezing temps...maybe a bad tank?

I believe so.. Best griddle I have ever owned...had mine for over a year and it's still going.

cooks, toasts, broils, etc. very evenly. I suggest a crisper pan or mesh for pizza. It gets very hot, I burned a couple of things at first, pay especial attention to direction to turn on/off button past 10 before setting desired time.

yes because you can adjust the temperature really low if you want. When you turn the temperature control knob it will gradually change the temperature. It doesn't jump up from too cold to burning hot. I have two of these grills.why? great price, easy to clean, small enough to store it. I did not want a top griddle plate to get in the way and flop around. Cooks burgers good, but thick pieces of chicken will have to be cut thinner or finished off in the oven for sure. That's where the upper cooking grill is needed. I have a spare one if I need it if the first one fails.

It distributes the heat evenly. I use a gas cooker with a large burner, so to me the heat is distributed evenly. I can't fault it. If I didn't have one I'd buy one.
