My son moved in with my husband and I for the summer before moving into his own home. He brought with him this griddle. He asked where he could store it and I said the top of the stove would be fine. We used it several times and pancakes and such came out perfect. Cleanup was a breeze. When he left I don't know which I missed the most,him or the griddle. :-) .I had to go out and buy one for our home. You won't be dissapointed.
