After doing some research, I decided to choose cast iron over aluminum.Amazon had the most assortment of griddles to choose from.I selected the T-fal Reversible Cast Iron Grill/Griddle because it was the perfect size and had an outer-edge around it to keep the grease/oil away from the what you're cooking.This grill is heavy, so you won't have a problem of it moving around the stove top and with the proper care it will last a lifetime.Love this NON-stick griddle for making everything from shrimp to burgers. Really is non-stick as long as you coat it first with oil or pamthis is a good, sturdy cast iron grill/griddle pan.i have done french toast and pancakes on the griddle side and salmon on the grill side.does require a good bit of grease/oil, but its cast iron, not teflon, so thats a gimme.it would be 5 star if it were maybe an inch and a half longer, so that it completely covered both burners, but its pretty close and so far it does what i want it to do.remember that cast iron takes a while to heat up so be sure to put this baby on a good 15 minutes or so before u want to start cooking with it.Need to drain / suck out the grease often when doing meat patties but it does what we paid for it to doThis is my first experience with cast iron, seasoning instructions were not included so I called T-Fal before I used it make sure I did it correctly. I seasoned my griddle, however it wasn't non-stick, I have to use a little cooking spray to prevent sticking.
There are also definitely areas where it doesn't heat even, the surface that sits over the burner cooks great but the area in between takes a lot longer to cook. Make sure to take your time to heat it up, because it does take a little while but once it's hot you're in business. Please note that it takes a while to cool down as well, and when it's hot be careful!
A plus is that I can use metal utensils, which I highly prefer over plastic. It's a good size, and fits on my stove well.
