Customer Reviews of Cuisinart GR-4 Griddler
Customer Rating:   Summary: Cheaply Made Comment: This device cooks well enough, but it is "tinny", for lack of a better word. Good old George Foreman is MUCH more substantially made. The stainless steel exterior is more difficult to keep clean than other devices. I would have paid more for a better made machine. Nice try, but not up to my standards in cookware. Customer Rating: Summary: The Best Griddler and Panini maker Comment: I ordered this for a christmas present for myself last year and I am still using it all the time! It works very well and is dependable. It makes perfect pancakes and is evenly heated. The paninis turn out delicious. The appliance is compact, retro, and fun to use. Makes a perfect gift! Customer Rating: Summary: Love it! Comment: We us our griller at least a couple of times a week to make healthy and ymmy sandwiches. It works great and is very easy to clean--the non-sticke removable plates pop right out for a quick wash. I was afraid this would be another kitchen gadget that we never use--but it makes GREAT paninis and we are using it regularly. Customer Rating: Summary: Cuisinart GR-4 Griddler...A- Comment: I had been wanting one of these griddlers for awhile and was pleased to find it at a great price. Shipping was fast, product was well packed. I couldn't find this product any cheaper. I've already used it to make pannini's and grilled cheese. It's great! Customer Rating: Summary: Good idea, poor execution Comment: I needed a griddle, and this seemed like a great idea -- an appliance that does double duty, creates a nifty panini in addition to pancakes, good manufacturer(?) -- a slam dunk, right? Wrong. This has been a disappointment, mainly because of poor heating. You never know what temperature surface you will get. If set to 350, it may eventually reach it, but put cool batter on it, and it may take 10 minutes to get back up to temperature. And turn the heat up, to 450, say? Next time, they'll burn in 2 minutes flat. I received a replacement from Cuisinart, and the new unit seemed to heat a little more evenly, but I think it was mostly wishful thinking. AND, the new unit doesn't stay level when in an open position -- it tilts when a spatula presses on it. Now my warranty has expired, so it's just taking up space for the occasional sandwich. So if you're looking for something that will grill a hamburger like a George Foreman grill, get a GF grill. It will most likely do a better job than this unit. And for pancakes, get a real griddle. That's what I'm gonna do. More Reviews With four separate cooking options, it can handle everything from pancakes to sausages to grilled cheese to steaks, hamburgers and panini. It helps you prepare more servings of more kinds of food in less time, so you can cook for a crowd -- no one has to wait! Simply change the cooking plates and adjust the floating hinge to use the Griddler as a Contact Grill, a Panini Press, or your choice of an extra-large double Open Grill or Griddle. Convenient cord storage keeps extra cord out of the way and makes storage easy Recipe book with 40 recipes Instructions Cuisinart USA Limited 3-year warranty 
Choosing Appliance -> Choosing Appliance -> Non-stick Pans We recommend having at least 1 high quality non-stick saute pan. It makes cooking eggs and delicate items like fish a breeze. It also cuts down on the amount of fat necessary to effectively saute. The best place to buy such pans is from a restaurant supplier. Cuisinart GR-4 Griddler
Useful info -> Food Waste Disposers Installing a food waste disposer is an ideal way to let you spend more time doing the things you want to do around the home and less time worrying about what to do with your messy unwanted food waste. With putrescible waste (kitchen food scraps) accounting for 25% of household waste, using a food waste disposer not only means fewer trips to the wheelie bin but also results in a substantial reduction of waste going to landfill. |
