Cuisinart Electric Griddler FIVE Countertop Grill, Enjoy 5-in-1 Functions Including Panini Press, LCD Display, Wide Temperature Range, and Sear Function, Nonstick Plates, GR-5NAS, Stainless Steel

Easy and simple to use, very reliable thus far. We mostly use this for sandwiches, burritos, and pitas. Basically, assemble your food, preheat to 450 and just a few minutes will add some great looking/tasting grill marks. Makes my burritos hold together better and the crispy tortilla is so good. Wife grills pitas and eats them with some feta and hummus. We don't even clean it off every time, as unless some stuff leaks out, the plates stay clean. The angle of the top plate can adjust to accommodate big burritos or stay flat to cover just a single pita.We have used this for chicken breasts a few

For years, I've gone back and forth on whether I should invest in a panini press or not. On one hand, it sounds awesome for when you want to make Reubens, or Cubans, but then I realized that I really don't make those items all that often and a panini press would likely gather much dust and occupy precious countertop space for most of the time. But, as usual, my desire for a new kitchen gadget overwhelmed my sense of reason, and I found myself browsing reviews for the best panini press. Oddly enough, most reviews I found highly recommended this Cuisanart Griddler Five as offering an economical

I really love this grill. I got it to replace a old George Forman grill that did not has removable plates. My first meal on it was turkey burgers. They were delicious and cooked in six minutes. It's remarkably easy to clean. I also found the ceramic waffle plates online for it so I was able to trash two older appliances.

OK, so I've used the 3-knob original version for decades (not all the same one, but the same version).I hated the 3 knobs. Why? There should be an On/Off button, and a single knob for setting the temp. That's It!This one is pretty close, so despite it being digital, I took a shot.Pros:* This one has an On/Off Button, so I can leave it plugged in. (Yay)* The plates have a No-stick coating that is not Teflon. Not sure what it is, but it's as smooth as glass.* The cooking surface is exactly the same size as the older 3-knob version.* These plates will interchange with the older 3-knob plates, so

I have made crumpets, English muffins and other stovetop breads in skillets and manual griddles of various types and after watching another person make a batch of crumpets on a similar electric griddle I decided to order this Cuisinart Electric Griddler Five to see if it would be easier as well as have multiple use features such as an open or closed grill, and panini or sandwich press that can be tilted to apply very even pressure. The unit is compact and attractive enough to earn a permanent place on my kitchen countertop and is simple to move to wherever I want to use it. In the fully open f

It was a gift to my sister and her family. They absolutely love it. Makes a great panini. Even the kids are into making sandwiches on it.

My wife always wanted a Panini press, but I did not want more appliances. But, for her birthday, I decided to do a little research and came across the Cusinart 5 in 1. I thought to myself that this would be cool, get rid of the waffle maker and the griddle and just use this.PROS: 1) Temp control!!! You can set it where you need, and once you start the cook you can start a timer and it will tell you when done. 2) Multifunction. This was the game changer. We have used this to make eggs, pancakes, Ruebens, and Grilled Cheese. All turned out awesome. And we tossed the other appliances. 3) Locking

My girlfriend and I picked this up, along with the waffle plates that fit it, and we're so happy with it. It works well as a contact grill (a la George Foreman) as well as a flat griddle and as a waffle maker. We've had success making eggs, bacon, pancakes, waffles, grilled cheese, grilled asparagus, and other foods. Both top and bottom plates come off and are very easy to clean, and will both drip down into the grease tray which is on the bottom of the machine. The only downsides are that if you use the grill, you have to wait for it to cool down before you can clean it and use it as a griddl
