A must item, it really helps make dinner simpler. It heats up quickly and cooks quickly. The best part of it is that the plates remove and can be put into the dishwasher. I use this item weekly. Also it is good if you have meat that is still frozen. I can put frozen chicken breasts on it and they will be cooked within 8 to 10 minutes. It really is simple, easy, fast and worth the money. I have definitely gotten my money's worth out of it.
