Cast Iron Plate Setter

Anyone with experience using a cast iron plate setter? Pros? Cons? Tips? Got it as a random gift, so wouldn’t be devastated if reviews are “meh,” but hoping it has some usage potential. Haven’t poked around online. Figured I’d check in here first.

    Rarely will they break. This is a major plus. Only negative is weight and rusting.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I have one for my MiniMax. I really like it as I use it for searing…..which the MM is a workhorse for that.
