This griddler is awesome! Quick and easy meals and cleanup! Burgers, chicken and sausage in 8 minutes. Paninis in 3 to 4 minutes. Bacon in 5 minutes. Love, love, love it! I have recommended it to my daughter and my Aunt as well as numerous others and 3 have bought.

We bought this griddle to make panini sandwiches. You can make a thick sandwich or a smaller sandwich. The top part adjusts to the size of your sandwich. Works great on both! It can also be used as a flat griddle if you want to cook other food items. It's well built, versatile, and we are so happy with ours!

I like the Cuisanart grill because it is dependable and the attached drip tray is a plus feature.

We had a Cuisinart Griddler before and we used it constantly. I love the way it cooks Bergers

Bought it as a replacement Pannini maker because of the wide opening between griddles

Best purchase ever!! Makes the best panini’s

easy to use. easy enough to clean

Can’t cook at 2 different temperatures at the same time when in the griddle position, other than that it works good.

This Cuisinart 5-in-1 Griddler is wonderful! It has totally changed my enthusiasm for cooking with incredibly fast meals, very easy and little required clean up, non-splatter cooking of sausage, bacon, etc. I used it 2 to 3 times a day. My grandkids love it to! Quesadillas and Paninis in 3 to 4 minutes, grilled Sausage, Chicken, Burgers in 8 minutes when all the above-referenced items are cooked on the grill trays with the lid down for double-sided steaks. It drains the grease into the tray and I've had no over-fill thus far. It takes up little space, is so easy to use! I'm 61 and it is the perfect size for my husband and I and /or when the grandkids / family comes over and grandma's kitchen becomes a short order cafe! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this product! I just ordered the griddle plates so I can make my bunny and I waffles! The ease of switching the plates with a push of a button is priceless; NO struggle coming for sure! This item would be a wonderful wedding gift, a great item for your college kids, singles, elderly, etc. Best appliance I've bought in years!

Was so excited to try the Cuisinart Griddler afte a cpl of days of researching and the great reviews. Sadly disappointed with the extra mess in cleanup and tray not catching most of the juice & grease using lean beef. Being in AZ I’ve decided not to use the oven as much in the hot months. Electric bills are so high! Anyway, this griddler doesn’t have designated drain holes but only a small drain off of the back of the unit…where the electric & cord is. Is not even slanted. Might be good for eggs, pancakes, fish. Haven’t tried chicken yet. Am indecisive on whether I want the mess to clean up again. The well known other brand (George Foreman grills) is the best go to for a variety of meats I believe.
