What you’ll find interesting and useful with Cuisinart Griddles is that both of these models, Elite and Deluxe, come with reversible and removable plates. This is perfect for any food, whether it’s pancakes, burgers, or cheese. Of all the purchases I’ve made for my kitchen over the years, my Griddler has to be in the Top 5.
The Cuisinart Griddler Deluxe takes grilling to new heights and offers six enticing cooking options. It also has a reversible grill and grilled plate, and you can combine it with dual-zone temperature control and give you home chefs compete for control. Like the original Griddler, the Griddler Elite comes with two interchangeable non-stick plates — a griddle (hence the name) and a grill. The Griddler Elite seems to do a much better job than the original Griddler and other indoor grills I’ve used in the past. While I loved our original Griddler, vegetables, veggie burgers, and other foods sometimes took well beyond the expected time to cook, and we’d rarely get nice grill marks with our food. After using the Griddler Elite a number of times, we haven’t had either of these issues.
