Someone said that it sits uneven and therefore can't cook things like pancakes and other liquid items without it running, is this a problem?

I have had no running problems. I have cooked pancakes and hamburger patties and everything functioned fine.

Totally not true, it sits even. We have no problems with it. It is a nice grill for the money.

I personally have not had this problem. We make our pancake at least once a week on ours and no problem with them cooking uneven. We have also put it griddle in different locations.

Hasn't been for us. Still works good. We cook pancakes on it all the time. A real thin egg mix for omelets or something like that doesn't work but thicker liquids like pancakes no problem.

I haven't had that problem. I use it pretty much only for pancakes. My issue is that the heating isn't very even. But to get really even heat I think you'd have to invest a lot. So for the price it's ok.

mine does NOT sit uneven and is used to make pancakes at least 2 times a week. We have also made other versions of pancakes with Quinoa and potatoes and it cooks perfectly.

No you should be just fine. Whoever said that must have had it sitting wrong because mine sits perfectly level.

My lid is a little loose left to right also. Maybe it is just in case too much batter is poured so the lid can press down evenly. Not sure- but everything seems to work just fine :) It really is a good little waffle maker.

Hi Allyson, my cooker does the same thing. Overcooks, does not sit well, water boils over and I'm so unhappy with it I can't return it as it's too expensive to return because of the mailing cosyt Would Amazon take it back and pay return postage it was expensive!!!! Lucy Plus you can't put in dishwasher like my old one from 1940.

It isn`t off it`s set that way. It`s that way so it won`t constantly be running. You can adjust it if you wish.

I haven't had any problem with mine, but I usually cook my eggs in a smaller pan. If the pancakes are cooked on one side until the bubbles come up, there should be no problem!

I was very unhappy with mine as the bottom warped so badly that it wouldn't sit flat on the burner (electric stove). Thus it would never get hot enough. I had to use a gas burner on my gas grill to cook. I returned my purchase

My guess is that the lip of the griddle would rest on the glass or flat top range causing a convection of heat rather than transferring it directly to the griddle. It also doesn't have handles, which would make it difficult to maneuver on a flat surface. It's really made for a gas range; we use ours on the large center burner of our stove, but you could probably put it over two separate burners. I do not know a definitive answer to your question.

Not really. If I were to divide the griddle into thirds, the middle third did not cook as quickly as the outer two thirds. I usually try not to cook too much in the middle. Overall, I still like this griddle and would buy it again.

I have the same problem. My husband noticed that the bottom pan is not round and leaves a gap and the water escapes from the sides and spills all over the stove top and none gets to the berries. So (don't ask me how I figured it out) I stuck a fork in the side of the colander potion which allows the steam to enter the berry holder portion. The second time I had to stick two forks in the side of it. Go figure, I think we should send them back as they are defective. I bought one for my daughter and thank goodness her's works.

I've never had a problem with mine. I liked it so much that I bought another one. Make sure you have it together tight.

The so called lip is very minor, and even when you lift the two back legs and fry bacon nothing runs off if that is your worry. I presume you're talking about the front of the unit, and not the separate piece that goes in the back.

It does not sit perfectly flat however, the rim on the bottom is smooth. I use it to make pancakes with my bridge burners on my smooth top. To date I have not found a flat bottom griddle. (P.S. I also use cast iron on my smooth top, which is a big no..no..)

Mine does not sit flat anymore either but I just figured it was from me dropping it! Though, I have never had a problem cooking it it even though it tilts.

I have the same question, because I have been just using the drip/bake pan that came with the box and it was bowing when I was using the convection oven but eventually came back to normal shape. This worries me that it's not made to withstand the heat. I'll let you know if I find anything.

Don't seem to have the same problem. Could it have been twisted at some point? The hinge may have a loose feel to allow you to close it with the batter on the iron. The will allow the top to sit level for an even cooking surface.

I haven't had that problem - perhaps the top of the pot the filter holder sits on is uneven?

As far as uneven heat, yes, the centers where the burners are are obviously hotter than the outsides. But this is really a great feature and should be used to its advantage! When things are cooking too quickly or if one thing gets done before another, you regulate it by pushing it to the sides. This is actually extremely helpful. As far as the cupping, I haven't had this problem.
