Do both top and bottom plates heat?

Yes, but it is not hot enough to bake any bread, even so thin! Just don't waste money on this. I returned it after the first try!

Yes, both the plates do heat up. The lower plate is lot hotter than upper plate ( i don't suggest touching any of these plates with your hands to check... LOL) It does the job GREAT, all you need is some practice and modify making of the dough !

Sounds like a defect. I have never had that problem. The bottom element always turns on and heats up for me.

There is a top and bottom. On low heat only the top is on. High both are on. Each element is 690 watts. It uses 1380 watts on high.

Yes, it has a thick cooking bottom on top and bottom. Very pleased with product.

Yes; at the front left corner of both the top and bottom piece is a black button to push. Then the cooking plates come right out. They clean very easily, I was impressed.

The sides and bottom do not get hot. Only the silver on the top warms with the toast or whatever. I hope this helps.

depends on the toaster setting. broil for example may only use top coils and baking or toast may use top and bottom. common on all of these things. Minus the negative reviews I've decided to purchase for $40 shipped. Ive heard good on the name Delonghi and I Hav a little space heater of theirs and its a tank.

Well the top smaller oven is not convection at all. You can use the bottom oven with or without convection also

Top grill heats. There's no need to flip whatever you are cooking. This grill cooks both sides evenly.

Yes it does heat on both sides, however 1 side heats better than the other, so I do flip it to finish off the other side. I think it is the top that heats better than the bottom (I haven't made a panini in a while as they make me fat!) But it does make amazingly delicious sandwiches... just be sure to use good bread for it.

I suspect the inclusion of the disk is the only difference. It seems wise to not use the disk anyway, because it has to get hotter than a pan bottom to pass the same amount of heating energy into a pan, being non-direct heating.

The bottoms do t get hot but the tops do. Putting that aside it is the best cooking cookware I have used. I love it

I have a two burner griddle it's common sense that directly on top of the burner will be hotter . Keep in mind it's a $200 unit not a $6000 unit.

They come with both the top 'grill' and bottom "infrared plate" that the 'grill' sits in.

I slide it over the heating elements, fits there perfectly so that's where I put it.. keeps elements cleaner.. there are edges on the plate itself that allow this to happen..

Only the top platen heats. The clamping pressure is as much as you want, you adjust the pressure mechanically with the hand screw.
