Overview
Pressing a sandwich into a panini, grilling breakfast on a full plate or griddling on a half layout is how this Cuisinart Griddler gets its five uses. Removable plates, indicator lights and a scraping tool come with it.
Five cooking modes in one body replace a panini press and a countertop griddle, and removable plates make cleanup straightforward. The limit is that the listing does not give a weight.
Who it's for
Home cooks with limited cabinet space can use one appliance for sandwiches and griddle breakfasts. Those cooking for a crowd at once may find the plate area small.
Pros and cons
- Five cooking modes
- Removable dishwasher safe plates
- Recipe book included
- Weight not listed
- Plate area is modest
- Plates need careful handling
Performance notes
Plates heat from both sides when closed, which presses and grills a sandwich at once. Open layouts use the plates as a griddle or half grill. The indicator lights show when preheating is finished.
