Cuisinart Grills Griddler® Elite

bought this to replace a different brand that was going out on me. My cuisine art griddler elite is so much better! I can cook bacon, burgers etc. without grease dripping everywhere. The grease drip tray is large enough to catch it.My favorite feature is that I can set each griddle for different temperatures! That's a game changer!! I highly recommend this product. I do store mine on top of my pantry cabinet-but because the complete griddle with the grills are kind of heavy-I store the grates in my lower cabinet and the griddler elite on top. It's not a problem because the griddler elite is able to lock into position so it won't compromise the latch that holds the grates.

The Griddler Elite is my new favorite appliance! The day after I used it for the first time, I went out and bought two panini recipe books for more inspiration. The bacon I cooked on it was perfect and the cleanup easy with the drip tray catching all the grease. In addition to paninis, I've made every variation of grilled cheese sandwiches on all types of bread, french toast and eggs so far. I sous vide a lot of meat and have finished off burgers and steaks with the sear feature (that's why I bought the Elite model and it didn't disappoint) and it's been so easy and I don't have to wash and then re-season my cast iron pan. Cleanup couldn't be easier; I have put the plates in the dishwasher and also washed by hand — come out perfect every time. I use it so often that it sits out on my counter so it's easily available. I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase.
