I've never found that griddles even out in temperature when suspended
over two burners.  They always get a cool spot in the middle.  I do find
them useful for keeping seperate temps for cooking two different
breakfast items, or for keeping food warm after I take it off the hotter
parts.  Maybe a higher quality pan than mine would work better, but the
distance between burners on most stoves makes me doubt that.

However, the built in griddle on my stove works great - it has a large
element that runs the whole length under it.
