I store my pieces (handles and drip pan) in a 1 gallon ziplock bag

Works as advertised no disappointments except that the drip pan is a little fragile if you drop it.

I bought it because it was so big, but its not big if i cannot use the whole surface to cook!As a side note, i do not use the drip pan, i use a paper plate for easier clean up!

The only downside is trying to do scrambled eggs or anything too liquidy because it pours out the front and into the drip pan

I easily solved this situation by putting an equal size of shim in the rear legs of the griddle to angle it more and the oil runs perfectly down the drip pan

Why on earth would someone design a griddle drip pan that can overflow with a pound of bacon?

Bacon and eggs both cook very well on this, and the drip pan works great (although the pan fits a bit too loosely, because it falls out very easily when you pick it up to angle all of the grease into it).

The griddle came out of the package with the rails for the drip pan bent already and were of extremely poor quality, easily bent back in to shape with my hands but a hot drip pan shouldn't be held up by these.

I cleaned up the top of the griddle with a paper towel to prevent spillage while I dealt with the overfull drip pan.

Overall, there are no cold spots, just a few areas around the edges where it gets very warm, but not as hot as in the center

I love everything about, this makes the best bacon n pancakes
