Do both top and bottom plates heat?

Yes, but it is not hot enough to bake any bread, even so thin! Just don't waste money on this. I returned it after the first try!

Yes, both the plates do heat up. The lower plate is lot hotter than upper plate ( i don't suggest touching any of these plates with your hands to check... LOL) It does the job GREAT, all you need is some practice and modify making of the dough !

the top and bottom plates do meet, but the top plate does rotate in the middle, so it could be used as a tortilla press as well as to cook them.

No. You'd need to keep a rack on the lowest set of slides. Otherwise what you are cooking would touch the bottom heating elements.

No, just the bottom and sides. The top needs to be free for heat dissipation.

Yes they are , plates are about 12"x10" , it heats up fast just dont forget to disconet after using it , hope this helps

The top, sides and back do not. But, the front where the heating elements are and the air blows out does get pretty hot.

Yes it does heat on both sides, however 1 side heats better than the other, so I do flip it to finish off the other side. I think it is the top that heats better than the bottom (I haven't made a panini in a while as they make me fat!) But it does make amazingly delicious sandwiches... just be sure to use good bread for it.

Top grill heats. There's no need to flip whatever you are cooking. This grill cooks both sides evenly.

We have the top and bottom temperature set to the same thing and it is working fine.

No. The warmers actually sit on a hotplate. The base of the unit is flat and the warmers rest on top of the flat base which acts like a hotplate. Be careful. This holiday I, quite foolishly put my palm on the base of the unit to see if it was hot--and yep--it was...lol...hope this answer helps.

I don't think you could heat two plates simultaneously, if that's what you mean. However, even though I have not heated anything longer than a couple minutes at a time (I check in-between), I am sure that the cover can withstand long heating times.

two cooking vessels. one inside the other. can use indirect heat with bottom filled with water second on top to help keep item warm or keep top item from direct heat.

Yes, both top and bottom plates are ridged, and they are not reversible (IE the backside of the removable plates are not flat and not teflon-coated, so they're not intended as a cook surface.)

Yes it does but as I stated in my review, it heats up very fast and since it doesn't have temperature control it burns the top and bottom.

No need to flip at all. The top panel heats to same temperature as the lower panel.

Yes, absolutely. There is a wok ring included, that sits on top of the burner (ring) and focuses the heat on the bottom of the wok.

yes, i have had no problems with heat, the heat all rises from the top. :).
