I got it at Bed, Bath, & Beyond. I asked the lady at the checkout if that was what I was supposed to do and she didn't know. She said I MIGHT have to have a GAS stove, but could probably use it on my electric. It's one of those that would I guess cover 2 burners and one side it's a griddle and the other side a grill. I just don't want to ruin it or anything when I could go get my money back (even though the closest store is 2 hours away). Someone please advise me soon so I'll know whether I can cook with it or not. I really appreciate it!

should I cover the burners with tin foil or anything to avoid burning which ever side I'm not using so that DIRECT heat doesn't get to the bottom of the griddle/grill?

Yes, you put it right on top of two burners. Electric or gas stove, it doesn't matter. My uncle has one like that. It's really neat, and convenient. Hope you make some good food with it!

Yes you can use it on both. I'm guessing it's cast iron, so remember to 'season' it before use.
1. Heat the oven to 250o - 300oF
2. Coat the pan with lard or bacon grease. Don't use a liquid vegetable oil because it will leave a sticky surface and the pan will not be properly seasoned.
3. Put the pan in the oven. In 15 minutes, remove the pan & pour out any excess grease. Place the pan back in the oven and bake for 2 hours.
Repeating this process several times is recommended as it will help create a stronger "seasoning" bond.
I smiled when you mentioned Bed, Bath and Bryond. I'll never forget my youngest asking me one time we were there 'Mum, where's the beyond department'? He was about 4

it is not secure to apply foil around the drip pan of an electric powered range factor. One, for all the justifications suggested above. 2nd. foil is metallic. and conducts electrical energy. If the foil gets down next to the place the climate connect interior the range proper. And the foil is attainable in touch with the two factor connections. you purely created a quick circuit!! this would spark, reason electrocution, pop a circuit breaker/ or fuse, initiate a hearth with grease interior the foil....etc. Pans are metallic too. yet they can't are available touch with the factor connections, via fact they proceed to exist proper of the factor. additionally, if the electrical powered cooking factor seems worn, chipped, charred. replace it. via fact this could additionally grow to be an electric powered difficulty. So do no longer use foil on an electric powered range.

It's definitely OK! Just put it over two burners which are the closest. It may take a bit longer to heat up, but it'll work just fine. You won't ruin it.
I figure if my grandma did it and my great aunts did it, there's nothing wrong with it. And they turned out awesome food.
P.S. Thanks for the tip, I was looking at one on Food Network today and started jonesing for one.

Yes, you use it over the eyes on your stove. Your electric stove will do just fine with it. You'll love using it! I have one and it works just great.
