After 20 minutes, there is definitely a cool spot in the middle of the two burners , but that’s common sense and to be expected.

This worked great for busting out 800 grilled cheese sandwiches but you really need to figure out the hot spots since the heat distribution is lacking.

Watch for hot spots under direct heat source.

It had a rusty spot on it so I had to send it back to

It does have a cooler spot in the center, but that is to be expected when there are only two burners

It heats very evenly without large hot and cold spots.

The griddle was heavy duty and the heat was even, no hot spots.

Honestly though, the cool spot is useful if you need to move food off higher heat cooking to avoid burning.

The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is the defuser plates don't do much, you clearly get very hot spots right under the burners while the edges aren't even hot enough to cook on.

This helps in dispersing the heat, giving you better even cooking heat distribution and avoiding hot spots

Still has cold and hot spots, but much better than i've ever used.

It gets hot and cooks things ok, though there's a very definite cold spot in the middle where the burners don't reach

Still has cold and hot spots, but much better than i've ever used.

n’t get dirty when you carry it.
