Not attractive, but does its job. The SO prefers this more than myself for eggs and other misc items.

I bought this skillet in mid-2007 because its size would be perfect for cooking bacon and pancakes. I liked the shape of the skillet and the comfortable handle (still do). I always use a low to medium flame on the gas range which makes cooking bacon or pancakes somewhat time-consuming. Nevertheless, after using the skillet for a few months, it warped in the middle, which caused uneven cooking. Then a few months later it lost its non-stick quality, and had to be oiled before every use. This was hard to understand because the skillet was always hand washed, never scoured, never used metal tools (even though the literature said this was okay) or put in the dishwasher. This was my second disappointing go-round with non-stick skillets and I learned a lesson. Though it is more expensive, stay with good stainless steel -- Cuisinart multi-clad is a great choice.

 Great Griddle May 22, 2009

After much searching and research, I decided to purchase the Kitchenaid Gourmet Essentials Hard Anodized Nonstick 12" round Griddle. Both my husband and I are very pleased with the performance as well as the end result of pancakes/bacon/toasted cheese sandwiches, etc. We have a smooth,glass top stove...so just be careful not to scoot the griddle...but only pick it up to move it around. And, medium heat is all you need to heat up for cooking with this wonderful griddle. If you go too high, the griddle will warp. This griddle heats evenly which our other griddles did not. Make sure you use only utensils for nonstick cookware. It's a dream to clean up by hand. I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher...it really doesn't need to be in there. Don't use abrasives on it either...unnecessary. I highly recommend this griddle, and you'll be glad that you purchased it for sure. If you take care of it like I have recommended, it'll last forever:)

I bought this griddle 2 weeks back and I started using it since then. The griddle lived upto, if not more than, my expectations. I used it mainly for making Indian Crepes (dosas). The food doesn't stick to the griddle and also the dosa comes out cripier without using much oil, this is a great advantage for me. Last but not least, cleaning it up is a breeze. I always used to wonder why Kitchen Aid products are so expensive, but after using this griddle I fell in love with the brand. I may try their other products too.

My old square griddle warped quickly in cooking pancakes on our smooth-top range at a heat setting of 60%, and the outside cooked slower than the middle. After reeading the reviews of the Kitchen Aid 12" round griddle, I purchased one in the hopes that these problems could be avoided. I tried cooking pancakes at lower settings, but they did not rise properly. When I finally raised the temperature up to 60%, the Kitchen Aid griddle warped also, and cooked slower around the edges.
