I love the interchangeable plates for different sausages

I like the different size plates and have used them all

If you don't realize that, and mistakenly try to install the bottom grill plate on the top, it will not seat, because of the temperature probe, and if you don't know that it is a temperature probe, and should go on the bottom, one might think that it is a "casting" flaw and that the plate is defective.

The Top Plate doesn't Heat the same as the Bottom Plate, a Waste of $100.00...

The grease goes in a collection cup that wipes out with a paper towel before you put it and the detachable grilling plates in the dishwasher.

For the idiots out there: don't leave the cooker unattended while cooking, take the meat out after the button turns off (the plates are still hot so they will continue to cook until you remove them), and the plates will be very hot, use oven mitts or the equivalent before touching the hot plates.

Have tried all three plates and they all work great

Both plates and grease try are very easy to clean
