Using it for shawarma

Heat the griddle to a high setting, lightly oil it, and lay thin slices of marinated meat in a single layer with space between them. Sear without moving for a couple of minutes, flip, then chop the cooked meat and toss it back on for 30 seconds to crisp the edges.

Alternatives

A cast iron skillet does the same job on the stove in smaller batches. For the full spit experience, see the NutriChef vertical oven.
