Are both plates ridged to be able to get the ridge marks on both sides of the sandwich or is one plate a flat surface? Thank you.

Yes, both plates have a ridged surface and a flat surface (depending on which side you have the plates facing) so if you want the grilled ridge marks on your sandwich, it will work for that.

Both plates are ridged so you get marks on both sides. I am sure you will love the look of your sandwich

Yes they are both ridged. We still use this almost daily. It's a GREAT buy!

I bought 2 of these one for myself and 1 for a gift. The one I got had both a pair of ridged plates and a pair of flat plates but the one I gave as a gift only had a pair of flat plates. Not sure why

You get the grill marks like you do on most grills. I have not noticed the top or bottom being hotter then the other so I would say it cooks well on both sides. Now when you use the word "crust" you must be asking about its ability to sear... that I have not seen this grill do. The only one that I know that does a great job at this is the Breville Breville BGR820XL Smart Grill

Yes, one side is flat for your application. The other side acts as a tenderizer. Hope you enjoy your Norpro - it's a staple in my kitchen. With Amazon's PRIME, I had it in two days. Best regards.

Thanks for asking this! I too bought the non-divided plates and they warped TERRIBLY after washing once. There was a little insert that says just to bend them back if they warp from washing... but that NEVER worked. =( I'm hesitant to try the divided, but I really like them and hope they'll work better. Love the bowls!

Hello David,I do not know what you mean by the sole plate unless you are referring to the very bottom part of the vacuum. I do not know of a part which is bent on one side and flat on the other. �If you can describe the part or area of the vacuum I can better assist. All-in-all we love this vacuum!

I think this is a great question to ask because I was very disappointed to see that there is no flat surface. Please check out my video on Youtube which I took on May 3, 2010. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFk6fLI07MI We couldn't cook fried eggs but it works great for pancake. I bought it for cooking pancake!

There's a bottom grill and a upper grill of substantial weight.Place your sandwich in between and wait. Voila, panini! It's an excellent product but doesn't have removable grills for cleaning. Don't be lazy, it's worth the effort.

No there is not a ridge. The ribs run end to end and not on the edge. Hope this helps.

They are flat on the bottom. They do have ridges that go up into the pan/pot, but that doesn't affect anything.

The one I purchased did not have that ridge. I would contact the person you purchased it from and have them send you a new one.

The entire grill has a no stick coating that is superb. Only one side can be used, namely he ridged side. The flat side has the non-stick coating; however, you my not use it for cooking because it does not have a lip to hold in food. it's a deal only if you use the one side; A-1 surface. Blessings. Anne

They do have circular ridges inside. I thought that would be a problem, but it's not. I have no trouble with making a fried egg for instance.

I have part of an older set from my Mom ... 2007? no mark on bottom, only lines from foot inward. Also have salad/soup plates with same center designs and wavy edge - no markings.

I never have food in the corner because of the shape, the food slides down. But, I would say that the plate would flip it you tried to cut and place pressure on the side of the plates because of the slant. You may want to go to walmart and check out the plates, they have that particular pattern and similar square plates on display. The high cost of this trendy pattern is not worth it, especially with the square plates.

I don't know anything about the diamond ridges. This griddle has a smooth top surface. Hope this helps.

There are not very deep ridges on the sides and the bottom...I have tried using the top but prefer the results without it. It is great for storing the bread.
