Does the nonstick surface bit come up and out? Looks like it might have that feature in the closeup picture of the plug. Thanks.

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

I wish I could tell you but I can tell you I had one and won't have another. The switch kept failing. Kept getting bound up and was nearly impossible to clean and was impossible to clean completely. We used a dark grind and even that seemed to be too much for it. As well, it was always "warm" to the touch in the am as if it had electricity running through it even when not in use. I complained but got nowhere. With the oil in linseeds I would think you may have a problem but I cannot answer definitively.

My pan has stayed flat. Less expensive pans will do this when over heated. Not a good idea on any pan.

I've got a lot of experience with loose outlet sockets. I just very gently twist each plug bar in opposite directions, so they are no longer parallel. It increases the pressure of the plug bar against the metal sides inside the plug so the higher friction holds it tighter in place. Don't twist too hard or you will break off the plug bar - just hard enough to put a slight twist in the bar.

You are correct. It is not "non stick" surface. If you preheat the cookware, and use proper cooking technique nothing will stick!

I haven't tried it, but don't see any reason why it should not stay. The plugs I have used in the unit sockets are firmly in place.

Not sure what you mean by a pop up, but if you mean the plug, yes it does.Since my post, I've begun to wonder about the bushed nickel finish andwondering if it's going to hold up. I think I might have been wiser to orderthe stainless or even the chrome, or spend more money to get a finish that would last.

I haven't any problems with it, though it's not non-stick. Read somewhere that one good technique is to rub a little oil on the pan, shake in some Kosher salt and rub it in, then oil slightly again. Things sure do not stick with that. They suggested wiping it dry after, rather than washing it, to avoid needing to re-treat, but I'm not so keen on that notion. I really like my Cuisinart cookware.

As the other 2 responses point out there is a release on the bit holder. It's the small area of jimping (grooves) cut into the back of the holder. It doesn't move much but you do have to hold it down to remove the bit.

Mine did the same thing. I took it apart and lubricated the mechanism inside with a little bit of 3 in 1 oil. The lubrication helped a lot, and I am able to use it again. It would have been nice if the design of this switch would not have made it so difficult to turn the knob though.

I didn't and still love ours. Use it all the time. It is showing some signs of wear but less than other high quality non-stick pans.

Nope... But I can say I like the unit, especially for the price point compared to some higher ends. We use ours several times a week and despite there being no on/off switch the power plug has a handy loop to fit your finger built into the plug itself that makes unplugging the unit really easy. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Hi Jason, no its not, and its a Bitch. You must be very careful doing it. The metal of the Mepro is much harder than expected. I bought a new bit, and still buggered it up. If you want a clean install, and are not real handy have it done.The Best, Jim

Mine does the same thing. I haven't bothered with it yet cause I haven't needed to hold it down. Best solution is to puts some tape around the plug on the part that goes into the hole and then glue it in with a quality glue. Before I glue mine I was also thinking about putting a solid 1/4" or smaller iron rod through the whole length off the inside to add some weight to it. You can purchase that at Lowe's and they should cut it to size for you. Hope that helps you friend!

Yes, But I would recommend this item because it was out of the box damaged. Even the replacement had damaged Nonstick surface...

The plug is actually elevated so the water does drain out on its own without being tipped. Ive found that a little of the water does stay behind and you will have to tip it to get that last little bit of water out. Overall, the drain works really good without tipping the tub

That would not concern me. Mine does too. A lot of slotted tools that take bits do that, but if you're holding it upside down and the bit is falling out without touching it, your bit-extender is probably the problem and it's not retaining the bit. Otherwise, I wouldn't be critical if there is some movement.
