Addis Griddle (Mitad/Mogogo) –16 inch Digital Electric Griddle for Injera, Lefse, Pancake – Even Heat Distribution

This griddle is AMAAAAZING! I have learned (self taught) over the last five years how to make lefse (Norwegian potato flat bread). As a beginner, I started out with the lefse griddle set that comes up first when searching on Amazon and online which has a single ring for the heating element. I kind of felt that my old griddle wasn't cutting it anymore (probably never did) so I looked for a new one. The design of the ADDIS griddle with three heat rings cut my cooking time IN HALF and created the perfect and even bits of browning that are a hallmark of good lefse! There were no hot spots and the lefse cooked so evenly!I ordered this thinking it would be here around the 14th, but it came early and as luck would have it I had a batch of lefse ready to cook for the holidays. It has a sturdy design, assembled in mere minutes, there was an included screw driver with a magnetized tip (!), I was cooking within 20 minutes. I blew through 70 pieces in a little more than 90 minutes and had NO FAILED PIECES. Some of the other impressive features are the fact that the prong is grounded (three prong), the probe is digital with auto shut off, it heats super fast and evenly, returns to temperature almost instantaneously between pieces.And I had a personal note from Samuel who said, "Thank you for purchasing our product. Your support and trust in us is much appreciated. If there's any issue with your order, please call/text me at XXX-XXX-XXXX, thank you Samuel." I sent a quick text and he answered! It was a very nice touchpoint in the buying experience. If you're thinking of getting a griddle for lefse, GET THIS ONE.

The Addis Griddle is much better than I anticipated. It is very well made and it has the best heavy duty nonstick cooking surface I have seen. Injera, the large Ethiopian flatbread, is made from a sourdough batter consisting of only flour and water but the cooked flatbread literally slides off the griddle. I can slide the large sheets of injera on to a platter with my finger tips. I use parchment paper to keep the layers of injera separated while they cool.Samuel (seller) included his telephone number with the shipment. I sent him a text concerning a minor question and received a response in a matter of minutes. The assembly was relatively fast. I did have to make a minor adjustment (with Sumuel's blessing) using a screw driver.I purchased the griddle thinking it would be used on special occasions, but my injera making skills have greatly improved since purchasing the Addis Griddle. Now, I keep a container of sourdough on the counter and make injera multiple times per week - it only takes a couple of minutes to cook. Homemade injera is better than what you get in the restaurants, they blend in cheaper flours with the teff to keep their costs down. If you like "real" injera this griddle will not disappoint.PROS:- Superior thick nonstick cooking surface should last for years.- The large vented lid is perfect for allowing just the right amount of steam to escape.- The dedicated warm setting is handy for reheating flatbreads and baked goods.- The only electrical component that could fail is the digital heat control unit which is easily replaced and covered by a multiyear warranty.CONS:- Minor assembly (a couple of screws) - attach legs to griddle and handle to cover.

Update 1 Year Later: This griddle quickly became the favored appliance in our kitchen. In addition to injera (which is somehow always perfect) we now use it for pancakes, as it solves the problem of our other skillets that are too small to cook more than 2 at a time. When I tell my spouse that this griddle is my prized possession, I am not even kidding. But the real reason for this update is to relay our recent, surprisingly exceptional experience with the seller: After a year of heavy use we found that the electric cord attachment was malfunctioning. I sent the seller a message through Amazon and got a reply in *minutes* asking me to text a picture of the cord. After trying to help us trouble shoot, Samuel then offered to FedEx us a new cord, free of charge. I didn't even have to ask. I was shocked at how responsive and considerate the customer service was. Samuel even went so far as to tell us, "If there’s any issue, let me know. You’re covered for 5 years." WOW! We just got the replacement 5 days after the problem first occurred and Samuel even checked in to make sure we received it and that it worked (it does!). I really can't say enough about this seller, let alone this griddle. I do a lot (too much?) of research on products before I buy them. Trust me when I tell you that you can stop looking for that perfect griddle. BUY THIS ONE!This griddle is wonderful. We moved to a city that is an hour away from the closest Ethiopian restaurant and were getting tired of the drive, so we decided to invest in a griddle so we could make our own injera. We did a lot of research on heritage griddles and other cookware, but making injera was our main objective so we went with this. I’m so glad we did! The griddle makes perfect injera. It’s easy to use, the lid fits perfectly, and it’s easy to clean. On top of the quality, the customer service we received was outstanding. I really can’t recommend this griddle enough.

The outlet

Makes really good injera, light weight and efficient.Update: less than three months it stopped working. It started to have uneven temperature and stopped working. Contacted the seller but the return price is half of the price just one way almost 100 dollars both ways. So don't waste your money.
