Cheap Cuisinart Griddler Deals & Cuisinart Griddler Sales
The cuisinart pots and pans set boasts the ability to work as an indoor grill, a griddle, and a panini press, but does it do all three jobs well? We used it to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner, testing both the flat and ridged plates, and we enjoyed the results. While we’re not getting rid of our outdoor grill for cooking steaks on a sunny day, we appreciated the ease of using the Griddler, as well as the simple cleaning of the grill plates in the dishwasher.

This grill/griddle has a large drip tray that sits completely under the unit where it’s out of the way, and it catches liquids that drain from the grill whether it’s open or closed. There’s plenty of space to collect liquids, and it’s easy to remove and clean. Since the drip tray is hidden, it gives the Griddler a smaller footprint and a neater appearance, but that also means it’s easy to forget about when it’s time to clean up.
We had to remind ourselves to double-check the drip tray before storing the appliance. We liked the idea that we could open the Griddler flat to have two different cooking surfaces, and we could choose grill or griddle plates for each half. Even when we were using the griddle plates on both sides, having separate cooking surfaces gave us the option to cook with butter on one plate and oil on the other. Likewise, we could use different sauces on each side without the flavors mingling. The Cuisinart Griddler Indoor Grill has a good range of user-friendly controls too.
The plates are removable, and we washed by hand and in the dishwasher and got good results both ways. It just comes with two plates, they are reversible, grill on one side, griddle on the other. They sell waffle plates as well, but they cost almost as much as the grill did, so we didn’t buy them.
There are three sturdy knobs on the front of the grill, one allows you to select either grill or griddle function, while the other two are temperature controls depending on whether you are grilling or griddling.
