Cuisinart® Cuisinart® Griddler® Elite
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.
The Cuisinart Griddler 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.
At twice the price of the standard Griddler, the Elite is more of an investment, so it’s only worthwhile if those extra features are must-haves. Additionally, the device comes with a removable drip tray to catch grease from cooking surfaces and a scraping tool both allowing for easy clean up. Owners of the grill and panini press GR-4N praise its versatility and how 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. Owners appreciate how easy it is to use and clean the Cuisinart Gr-150, as well as its quality, versatility and large cooking surface.
They like that it cooks evenly and that simple knobs make it easy to control the temperature. Some can’t say enough about the Sear function, while others love the Open Melt function to make pizza or tortillas. The Cuisinart Griddler Indoor Grill is currently available at the $80 price mark. This places it around the middle of the indoor grill market.
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 pots and pans set Indoor Grill has a good range of user-friendly controls too.
