i enjoyed the large surface area of the pans, able to fit a lot of potatoes (fried potatoes) at one time.

i recently am having health issues that lead me to examine things I’ve overlooked.

Lodge LDP3 Reversible Grill/Griddle, 9.5-inch x 16.75-inch

⭐⭐ (2/5) | ✅ Verified Purchase | 1267 found helpful | 2010-09-02

[[VIDEOID:42f9f62fe9ad5ee607d4c2acf88cc13c]] With all the reviews raving about this griddle, I was quite excited about my purchase. I had planned on using this on my gas range over two burners for cooking pancakes and such. The dimensions of my burners seemed to be a great match for the size of the griddle, but it turned out to be unusable.

Amazon Basics Silicone, Non-Stick, Food Safe Baking Mat - Pack of 2

As others report, these are substandard products. Both of mine have discolored and become ineffective after use at 350 for making English muffins. The last batch stuck badly, and the silicone appears to be permanently transferred to the high-end half-sheet baking pans. See attached photos.

I used the grill three times and the fan stopped working, the entire house is smoky. That sucks because I would take a chance and buy it again but I paid $99.00 now it’s selling for $154.00. Amazon is refunding my account and I’m sending it back.

Gotham Steel Crisper Tray for Oven, 2 Piece Nonstick Copper Crisper Tray and Basket, Air Fry in your Oven, Great for Baking and Crispy Foods, As Seen on TV – Extra Large Size, 13.4” x 11.4”

⭐ (1/5) | ✅ Verified Purchase | 637 found helpful | 2017-04-17

I used it once, and it didn’t seem to work any better than a regular oven tray. But there are three things people buying this product should know:

The lifetime guarantee on the surface requires for you to pay 9.95 for a replacement. If you read online reviews of their coating, it’s subject to failure.

OXO Good Grips Glass 3 Qt Baking Dish

⭐ (1/5) | ✅ Verified Purchase | 617 found helpful | 2017-10-18

These pans are incredibly poor quality, and therefore extremely dangerous. I have never exposed them to any swift temperature changes, moisture while hot, or placement directly on the countertop while hot.

George Foreman 5-Serving Removable Plate Grill and Panini Press, Platinum, GRP472P

⭐ (1/5) | ⚠️ Unverified | 569 found helpful | 2015-12-28

As a long-time Foreman grill user (this is my fourth), I am giving the Foreman 5 Serving grill a 1-star rating to catch the prospective buyer’s attention. The engineering design department deserves a 5-star rating for the removable grill plates that are super-easy to clean, and more durable than the prior teflon surface grills.

Unfortunately, I had to return this grill. It did grill very well & clean up was easy. However, it did not come with the griddle plate as advertised. And it was missing a screw/nut that held the handle on the grill plate. I’ve looked into reordering but the price is now $30 more than when I initially ordered…

I received this just prior to Christmas, and used it for the first time this weekend. I was making baked raviolis and baked tortellini. I was excited to use the new baking dish alongside my old standby Pyrex dish. I used this dish for the tortellinis.
