I feel this grill works great for family meals.  Sometimes when cooking a meal, you need more room than a gridle on the stove allows.  This is perfect for those needs.  Also, if you want the feeling of being able to grill but weather outside doesn't allow this, the griddle works great.

I love to use the when I am cooking breakfast for me family.  We love pancakes and you can get alot on this griddle at one time.  It is also very easy to clean.  The coating on the griddle is great for not sticking and also helps for easy clean up.
