I bought this griddle in January 2006. It got used 2-3 times per week on our glass-top GE electric range with bridge burner. It worked great while it lasted. However, even though it was always hand-washed (this thing doesn't even fit in our dishwasher!), the non-stick coating started to flake off sometime around summer of 2008.

For comparison's sake, given the same care our Kirkland/Costco non-stick cookware pieces have lasted considerably longer than this and several of them get used much more frequently. The non-stick surface on that cookware looks almost good as new after 4-5 years.

So while this Circulon product worked great while it lasted, I have to say I'm very disappointed that it didn't last longer given the price point. I'm not sure what to try next but it won't be another Circulon nonstick product

I LOVE this griddle! It works great, heats evenly, no stick, no mess, easy clean up. What more can I say?

Heavy-duty and large enough to make all 2-3 Panini sandwiches at once! When I saw this Circulon on sale, I snagged it up and have been glad that I did. This fits perfectly over my two burners and is heavy duty enough to withstand the high temperatures without warping (as a previous one I owned decided to do). Great product at a reasonable price, and just as good as the Cephalon griddles being offered at twice the price.

Circulon is the best in cookware. I am adding to my collection piece by piece. Very pleased with this purchase. Cleans easily and nothing sticks to it. Worth every penny.

I have a GE ceramic cooktop range with a bridge burner. I bought the Circulon Total griddle (which seems the same as Circulon 2)at Linen n Things but returned it because it was not perfectly flat. I set it on my cooktop and rocked it by putting my fingers on opposite corners and pressing down. There was a slight wobble. Although I didn't actually cook with it, I'm giving it 4-stars because I really liked its apparent quality. It met all of my other criteria except flatness and it would be fine on a gas range or regular electric burners. The size is perfect (many griddles are more than an inch larger than the burner). I love the "hi-low" nonstick surface. I have a small Circulon Pro saucepan that I tried cooking pancakes in before buying this. I was doubtful that the ridges would work for pancakes. They not only released easily, I loved the delicate crisp quality it gave to the outside of the pancake. I almost kept this griddle and suspect that it may cook okay on a ceramic top, because the wobble was not severe. I ended up keeping the Kitchenaid 18 by 10 inch porcelain coated double griddle because it was perfectly flat even though I would have preferred anodized aluminum to the porcelain coating. I am happy with the Kitchenaid griddle.

I have owned this griddle for several years now and it holds up to all kinds of abuse. This was one of my first purchases after the Circulon boxed set - and it's been one of the most used pieces. It fits on my stove best from front to back (leaving room to the side for an omlet pan!), but my back burner is smaller than the front, so I've learned to rotate things back & forth for even doneness. Due to it's length, it's a little awkward to store sometimes. Cleaning is a breeze (as with all the other Circulon pieces), thanks to the hi-low ridges, with no ridge appearance on the food.

I basically only use this once a week when I do big breakfasts. It's nice for pancakes, french toast, etc. there is enough surface room to get them done faster. I'm trying to think of more uses for it! If you have price compared elsewhere then you know this is a great buy. Highly reccomended.

This griddle heats evenly. Can cook several burgers, or two pounds of bacon with no problem. One corner is also a spout, so pouring off the fat is easy to do.
This is a great griddle at an even better price~!

Same thing at Sears was $100. Amazon has it for $49 & free shipping.

I bought this griddle for my boyfriend to replace the cheap one he had. What a difference. Good quality and makes cooking things like pancakes and grilled cheese sandwiches a breeze.

We've had this for over a year and followed the cleaning instructions (no scouring, dishwasher, etc) -- just soap, water, and a sponge. Still as good as new.
