Some reviewers talk about grilling and others using a griddle. Are there different parts that swap out in the middle or are they the same?

The stove comes with a single griddle (which is a flat surface). I'd imagine that some people purchase 3rd party grills/skillets (with ridged surfaces).

Not exactly sure of the question. The surface is somewhat uneven but it does not affect the cooking aspect for the griddle.

The product is only one piece, but it is reversible. The picture is showing you both sides of the one-piece reversible grill griddle - one side is smooth and the other side is ribbed.

No the legs are part of the griddle which is removed when placing the grille over the burner's

I read a few reviews that states they have different style heating elements and the grommet model does not maintain an even heat as well as the griddler. I purchased the griddler so i have nothing to compare it too. I do like my Griddler Gr4n so far no complaints. Either way you can't go wrong. Costco stands behind the products it sales as does amazon.com and Cuisinart.

No it's on the other side. You can use the rotisserie and the side burner at the same time.

I have used the griddle on either side. The sear station is not activated unless you turn it on separately from the burners. I have not used the griddle and the sear at the same time.

I haven't used the griddle side yet. But I've had no problem with my meat, shrimp or bread sticking on the grill side. I just use a little olive oil spray before I put meat or bread on. I'm sure it would be perfect for pancakes or crepes. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry. I bought that grill as a gift last year and he passed away. I don't know anything about the griddle.

The Grill is still on there.....the griddle just sits on top of it.....just take griddle off when done....it works like a charm for pancakes...eggs and bacon if you wish...or anything that might leak on the grill that might have a sauce or something in it....instead of using some other grill pan....works so good!

Directly on grill. Could use griddle or pan if you want as well. It is the same as a BBQ.

It is all one piece. One side has the grill, the other has the griddle (flat side)

It replaces the center grill. I really like it and it works. I do not know all the models but my 5 burner GE gas stove was one. Worth every penny.

I personally would go with the griddle because of the sides on the other pans. As an fyi however, in my 10 1/4 Scanpan frypan I could do 4-3" pancakes (tight squeeze). In my 3.5qt saute pan I could do 4-4" pancakes with a little extra room.

I have looked at griddles at a number of sources but have not purchased one yet. The grill on mine has warped because it is aluminum I think. Very sorry I did not keep my old grill which had a cast one.

Yes! I've done it before but the burner on the right doesn't get as hot. I think I isolated much of my cooking to the left side.

As far as I can see it is a drip tray. This tray is not as large as the one on my last griddle. I have overflowed it once. Griddle seems to work fine . . . like the locking cord.
