Query: Forgive me George for I have sinned!

Ok, so it has removable plates that you can wash separately, this is the ONLY bonus to this item.It takes forever to cook something as it doesn't get hot enough, the plates don't lock in very well and the item is way too bulky for such a small cooking area.So you can lay it flat to cook pancakes - whoop de do, my frying pan works just as well.I was hoping for so much and was very disappointed in this item.
