Cuisinart Gr
Upgrade your kitchen and cook a wide variety of foods using the Cuisinart Stainless Steel Multifunctional Grill. With five separate cooking options, it handles everything from pancakes and sausages to grilled cheese to steaks, hamburgers and Panini sandwiches. The Cuisinart grill features a floating cover and dual temperature controls and a selector switch to operate the grill and griddle independently. It also uses removable dishwasher-safe nonstick cooking plates for easy meals and clean-up. In addition, a power on indicator light lets you know when the surface is hot and ready for cooking. This panini grill is constructed of brushed stainless steel with cool-touch housing that helps prevent accidental burns.
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 elite Indoor Grill has a good range of user-friendly controls too.
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.
Avoid using metal utensils or abrasive cleaners on the nonstick cooking plates and use the included cleaning/scraping tool to safely clean any remaining food residue. From indoor grilling to cooking pancakes for the whole family, this compact appliance can do it all. Plus, check out a clever tool for whipping up creative pancake shapes on the griddle kids will love.
Some have found issues with the plastic buttons holding the grill plates, and the drip cups collecting grease constantly need monitoring to ensure they remain in place. A drip tray slides securely into the metal base at the back of the unit, avoiding spillage issues altogether even if you happen to move your griddler.
