I've got a lot of Cuisinart appliances including their grind and brew coffee maker, a toaster, a coffee grinder, blender, and this grill pan. All of them are great, except this thing. It has a number of problems:

1. The sides interfere with cooking. it's hard to get a spatula in there without burning your wrist.

2. The heating stopped being even after a while. Now things on one side cook slower than the other.

3. The control nob isn't very precise (I have the same problem with my George Foreman grill). It is very hard to set a precise temperature.

Bottom line, this isn't worth the money. Their other stuff is fine (I love my coffee maker and blender) but this isn't. Don't waste your money.

I don't understand how you advertised this product Cuisinart EGP-18 Electric Nonstick Grill Pan with a glass lid and when it arrived at my home the box immediately told me that the product did not come with the glass lid you advertised.

The product itself I rate excellent, but if you advertise the product as you did (includes a glass lid) then that is what should have been delivered...the main reason I ordered this product is because it came with a lid...

This grill pan is great. I use it when the weather outside is bad. I am very pleased with how hot it gets and how it grills chicken and steak.

I purchased this pan as a "deal of the day". There was a description of a chrome trimmed lid within the item information, but when the pan arrived - no lid! No mention of a lid in the owner's instruction. It would have been very hard to use this as a warming dish without the aforementioned lid, so I had to return the grill pan. It just wasn't worth the price.

I like this gill very much. Of course it's good looking because it's Cuisinart but that's not all. It heats evenly and maintains consistant heat through out my cooking process. The only thing I would point out is this grill doesn't have draining spouts for the oil to run off. I don't cook with a lot of oil so this doesn't present a problem to me. Overall review...this is an excellent buy and it looks great of the countertop!

This grill is great for indoor grilling. It has a large cooking area, and that makes it bulky to store. The cord attaches in the center of the long side, and is so short that I have to use it with the cord and tempurature control away from me, and this is in a location where the receptacle is at the countertop level. I've gotten minor burns reaching around or over the unit. The controls are hard to see this way, too. Please, manufacturers, trust me with a longer cord for convenience. I wish this unit had a reversable flat/ridged cook surface so I could use it for eggs, pancakes, and sandwiches. Having a removable/reversible cook surface would make it easier to clean, too.

If you are interested in this type of cooker, you should be aware that dispite being advertized three times in the product review that it comes with "a tempered glass lid with chrome rimming" There IS NO LID!!! I contacted Amazon about this as soon as I received the cooker and a week later still no responce back. I finally gave up on them and asked for a return slip. Actually I would have preferred to keep the cooker but without the lid it would have been useless to me and not worth the high price I paid even thought it was a gold box deal.

At the time I ordered this, the Amazon product description stated in two places that a "tempered glass lid" was included.
It is not.
It is not shown on the packaging or referenced in the manual. There are some other counter-top cooking appliances in this Cuisinart product line which do include a glass lid.
I kept this a few days to decide if I wanted to keep it anyway (I bought it in a Gold Box deal), but finally decided that without a lid of some kind, the potential for making a large mess on the counter top was just too great.

Classic styling coupled with the latest technical advancements in cookware is the hallmark of Cuisinart products, and they deliver another useful, versatile, and time saving appliance with the EGP-18 Electric Nonstick Grill Pan. This grill won't make you a celebrity chef, but it will make your life a little easier (or at least tastier). Its large cooking area makes my family meals much easier to wrangle. Much more than a mere cooking surface, the removable temperature control component and serving stand turns this grill into an elegant serving tray that would make Martha Stewart proud. When entertaining, if my guests are running late I plug the Cuisinart back in and use the food warming function. Clean up is a cinch, too. I would never use my old electric grill because clean up is such a pain, so being able to thrown the EGP-18 in the dishwasher is a big plus. This product has really help to kick start my desire to eat healthier. Now I cook fish so much I'm growing gills. Try this one out for sure.
