Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm not quite sure what this appliance makes, but it's not any flatbread I've had before. The idea of putting an uncooked ball of dough on a high-heat kind of griddle and trying to flatten it while it is getting the bejeezus fried out of it on one side does not work well. The manufacturer warns about "splitting" if you press too hard while it's cooking, what they don't warn about is if you don't press hard enough you end up with a thick, unflatbread. And I think making the griddle temperature adjustable (it now has just one setting -- somewhere around the temperature in the third circle of Hell) would just make it more challenging. If you buy this count on wasting LOTS of dough (double entendre intended). You have to find that fine balance between pushing too hard and not hard enough. And even if you do, what comes out is no flatbread like I've every had before -- doughy on the inside, crispy on the outside. And if you follow their recipe you will never end up with a 10-inch bread, but two-thirds of that at best. I'm afraid it's another example of creating something high-tech to solve a problem that doesn't exist. Do yourself a favor -- buy and old-fashioned flattener, flatten your breads first, then cook them in a regular pan. It worked for Ogg the Caveman, it can work for you too -- it's just not that hard. This device might be good for warming up a flatbread that was cooked properly, although I still prefer the microwave for that. I'm afraid my unit is destined for the next yard sale; another lesson learned the hard way.
