Since they are both from Cuisinart, they come with the same 3-year limited warranty. In terms of cooking area, both the Cuisinart griddle elite and deluxe have plenty of space to cook whatever is that you’d like. The presence of a drip tray actually prevents the chances of spillage even if you move the griddler. The best thing about Cuisinart Griddler Elite is that it’s integrated with non-slip rubber feet, which makes sure it doesn’t move during cooking.
Fit the cuisinart pots and pans set with the grill plates and preheat both plates to 400˚F. While the unit is preheating, toss all of the ingredients together.

They both have fantastic features like the timer, the ability to grill and griddle at the same time, or to be able to set different temperatures for both cooking plates. Nonetheless, when the price is included in the equation, the winner will have to be the Cuisinart Griddler Deluxe. Owners of the Cuisinart Griddler grill and panini press GR-4N praise its versatility and how cuisinart pots and pans set easy it is to clean. Waffle enthusiasts particularly love the fact that they can make waffles with plates purchased separately. They also find it easy to select the proper temperature for each function. 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.
The Griddler® Elite boasts six impressive cooking functions in sleek brushed stainless steel that gleams on any kitchen countertop. This stylish electric grill can tackle any task, with the ability to grill, griddle, half grill, half griddle, panini press, and top melt sandwiches, meats, and appetizers. The dishwasher safe nonstick grill plates are also conveniently removable for easy clean up after even the gooiest, cheesiest sandwich or sticky barbecue sauce.
The size when it is opened is more a problem when you place it on a standard kitchen counter-top with kitchen cabinets above it. The height of the unit makes it hard to fully open it. There are a few that mentioned that the grease will not always run into the little trap and one mentioned that for that reason he does not cook bacon on it anymore. I have not really read to much more about that complaint.
