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 soup maker 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.
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.
The electronic display lets you set a timer and dual zone temperature control, meaning you can griddle an egg on one plate while grilling bacon on the other across a generous 240 square inches of cooking surface. With reversible plates, our superior SearBlast™ feature locking flavor into steaks at 500˚F, and a top cover that is fully adjustable, cooking is perfectly cuisinart soup maker customized and precise every time. The dishwasher safe nonstick grill plates are also conveniently removable for easy clean up after even the gooiest, cheesiest sandwich or sticky barbecue sauce. With five separate cooking options, the Cuisinart®Griddler®can handle everything from pancakes and sausages to grilled cheese to steaks, hamburgers, and panini.
