Cuisinart Griddler Deluxe Vs Elite
Removable and reversible 11″ x 9″ dishwasher-safe nonstick cooking plates drain grease for healthy cooking into the integrated drip tray. Cuisinart Griddler Indoor Grill is designed to be a versatile cooker thanks to its five separate cooking options; a contact grill, panini press, full grill, full griddle, half grill/half griddle. Overall, it’s a good option for occasional use for smaller meals, especially if you would like an indoor grill that can handle anything from pancakes to steaks.
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.
I was lazy and we didn’t keep our older griddler as clean as we could. I bought waffle plates tonie with it an decided cuisinart pots and pans set what the heck, buy another griddler. I had couple of instances where the old ones heating controls were suspect.
There are three sturdy knobs on the front of the grill, one allows you to select either grill or griddle function, while the other two are temperature controls depending on whether you are grilling or griddling. Price-wise, it’s comparable to the Hamilton Beach 25361, but the Cuisinart Griddler Indoor Grill has the upper hand in terms of cooking options. While the five separate cooking options allow the Cuisinart Griddler to cook a wider range of foods, the Hamilton Beach is more of a grilling specialist. The reversible cooking plates with dual surfaces and floating cover give the Cuisinart Griddler great flexibility, making it suitable to use at any meal – breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The cooking plates are constructed of nonstick coated, die-cast aluminum that fit in either the top or bottom housing units.
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.

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.
