The Amazon listing says this is "by SilverStone", but Silverstone is the name of the non-stick coating. The manufacturer is Bethany Housewares (listed correctly for the Aluminum model).

I use this as a "mitad" for making injera, the Ethiopian flatbread made from the nutritious grain t'ef, and it works very well. There is a nice lid for this available directly from Bethany Housewares for about twenty bucks. I'm sure any generic lightweight 16" lid would work just fine, but you'll need some sort of lid if you want to make injera. Several websites recommended the non-stick model for injera (over and against the aluminum) and having made injera several times now, I think that was good advice. (You make injera on very high heat, covered, until the bread starts curling away from the grill, so maybe under those conditions the surface doesn't really matter, but I like how easily the bread slides off the grill on the Silverstone, having no actual experience with the other model.)

I got my Bethany Housewares Heritage Grill with Teflon finish for making lefse. I've used it 5 or 6 times for that and it works great.

Better yet, it is the best grill I've ever had for frying eggs, hash browns, sausage, bacon, pancakes, or cooking just about anything else that's grilled. The non-stick finish means it's not necessary to use more than a light brush of oil to fry eggs, hash browns or other food that contain little grease of their own.

And the Teflon seems indestructible. My grill has been used almost daily for a year and a half, often by family members who are not as protective of the finish as I am, and it's still pristine.

Come to think of it, I'll have to take back the bit about me being the most careful one using my grill. Just the other day, I left it on with a turner on top--a turner that melted into a liquid plastic pool on the beautiful non-stick surface. But everything wiped right off once the hot plastic cooled enough for me to do the wiping. Did I mention the surface seems indestructible?

The only drawback, I suppose, is the late sixties look. That, I'm guessing, is because it's such a good product there's been no big push to change things up since the sixties. I think of it as stylishly retro and rejoice that this grill's consistency over the years means I can order replacement legs or a new probe control from Bethany Housewares if needed.

I could live without my electric fry pan or George Foreman type grill, but wouldn't want to live without my Heritage grill.

I got this grill last year and am very pleased with it. I have used it regularly and use it for making dosas, the Indian crepe. I can also cook 2 or 3 rotis on it at a time and it speeds up the process.

It heats up beautifully and maintains consistent temperatures. It is very easy to clean as the probe style electric wire comes off. I usually wash it by hand but my son threw it in the dishwasher once and we saw no adverse effect.

A good product, well made.

Product does what it's supposed to do. It heats up fast, it's light, easy to clean, and has a even heated surface.

I use this for Dosa and it is the best. Also I use it for the grill cheese sandwiches and it turns out pretty good also. This is a very good product.

Great value! It is a wonderful item and a must have for all lefse bakers.

I was looking for a griddle that got hot enough for making Indian Masala dosas and this was it

I had owned my original Heritage lefse grill for three decades and decided that it was time to replace it. To my pleased surprise, this replacement is the identical high quality grill as that original. I really thought that a "new" grill would not be as sturdy or as heavy as is true with so many other products. But, this grill exceeded my expectations. Now I know I can look forward to another three decades of homemade lefse (not to mention its almost weekly use for pancakes!). Thank you, manufacturer, for not cheapening your product.

I've had my grill for about 5 years and use it every holiday season for lefse! It works like a charm, beautiful even cooking for my lefse recipe! LOVE it!
