I was looking into buying one of the Circulon double griddles since I do a lot of brunches at my place. I was torn between the different ones until this one went on clearance and fell in price dramatically. It is very nice and the bacon press is extra lovely. Be sure to read the safety/care instructions so that you don't crack your press by extreme temperature changes. Unlike the other double griddles in the Circulon line, the Elite one has a well/trough around the edge for grease run-off. This makes it larger (13"x20") than the other Circulon double griddles (10"x18") and almost too large for my stove. I'm considering giving this double griddle to my mother, keeping the bacon press and ordering one from the Circulon 2 or Circulon Total lines.
