I received the wrong item so I can't answer your question. I received a smooth griddle when it should have had ridges.

I have had mine for 9 months and so far it's in great shape and has zero warping.

Mine warped the very first time I used it. It still functions but the lid does not open and close conveniently.

All griddles have some uneven heat distribution issues, but this one does a pretty good job in my opinion. I personally haven't noticed any significant problems with mine.

Yes it is; I have a glass top stove also. Use medium heat only and be sure to leave the griddle on the stove when you turn off the heating units. Let everything cool off by itself and especially NEVER run cool water over it or wash it until it has completely cooled off. Don't put it in the dishwasher either; this will prevent warping of the griddle.

I have had no problem with that and warping on the bottom This couldn't happen to a cheaper pans if you tend to have them hot and then put them in Coldwater the outside world shrink and make the bottom work out I have have not had any problems with Farberware

Definitely not. I'd return it. Unless you had it at a crazy high heat, it should be able to take it without warping.

Yes, my same pan (in the 12" size) warped slightly. I cranked the heat pretty abruptly, though (by mistake). Lodge says that these pans work on any cooktop, including induction stoves (on their website). You just have to be careful to heat the pan somewhat gradually. I haven't had the chance to test this myself, though, to see if the pan stays flat with gradually warming it because I haven't purchased another one yet. Personally, I was a little disappointed because I really liked the pan until it warped (only slightly). I find myself using that pan a lot less because I don't feel like taking my time with warming my pan. I want to be able to get a hot pan asap and start cooking.

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

I own three of the Cuisinart pans, the oldest being at least 4 years old. I use them regularly and none have warped.

I have not had any of her pans warp. I do hand wash them as directed in the instructions. Hope this helps!

Mine hasn't. It's quite sturdy. I can't see how it would warp. I'm very happy with mine.

Hi Pat, I had no problems with warping. When I finish cooking in it, most of the time I immerse it in waler to begin soaking and have not had a problem.

A couple of ways - 1.) just shim either the cooktop or legs to push it forward or what I did was 2.) invest in a grease scraper like the ones they use in a diner and periodically simply push the grease into the grease channel in the front. Once the cooktop is warped it pretty much stays that way - not much you can do.

Mine has warped at the ends. Not safe without adding material at the ends so it doesn't trap a foot and chop it off. I have five of them and they all have done the same with warping. My bottom tray is not staying in place either. the track at the bottom doesn't hold it in place. Will be looking at a different brand.

I believe so.. Best griddle I have ever owned...had mine for over a year and it's still going.

No, not at all! It is very sturdy. I use this pan at least 3-4 times a week and have had it over a year now and now signs of warping at all.
