I don't find that they heated evenly on the stove. I bought an electric grill that is maybe 2 foot long and 15 inches wide. The pancakes come out perfect,a s well as bacon, grilled cheese,French toast. Easy to clean and the best part is that I get to eat with everyone, as I am making 8 big pancakes at a time and almost a whole pound of bacon. I only paid $15 to $20 dollars and I couldn't be happier.
