The Teflon on our Black and Decker griddle started scratching off (oddly, where some peanut butter fell on it) so Joe went to find us this one as a replacement. It sounded great, like those As Seen On TV products loud smiling people try to sell you late at night.
It even seemed to work fine, at first. Then we noticed that the cooking surface not only has hot and cold spots, but also seems to randomly choose what temperature it's going to be.
But the best (i.e. worst) thing about this griddle is that when it's about to do something crazy it starts to make this clicking sound. Of course, you never know if that means it's going to get super-hot, or way too cold or take off into space.
The other day, Joe thought he heard the clicking sound when the griddle was not plugged in. It's going back to the store today.

p.s. What we really want is a table top griddle that doesn't have non-stick coating. Our research tells us this is impossible to find at a price we're willing to pay. But if anyone ever sees one that's affordable, let us know.
