Product Description
Amazon.com Review
A roomy 2-in-1 tool, this Cuisinart grill-griddle combo lets you cook blueberry pancakes for breakfast and rosemary chicken breasts for dinner with a simple flip of its cooking surface. Coated with nonstick for less fat in cooking and easier cleanup, the cooking plate features one smooth side and one ribbed side. In either configuration, excess grease and fat runs off through slits in one end to the drip tray below. Measuring 18-1/2 by 11 inches, the grill surface accommodates enough food for the whole family or cooks several different dishes at once. Streamlined yet substantial, the base combines a stainless-steel frame with plastic legs, making it stable yet manageable in weight. The temperature control probe inserts simply in one end, and an indicator light signals when the surface has achieved the desired heat. Cleanup is made easier on this model by an immersible cooking plate and dishwasher-safe drip pan and scraping tool. Altogether, the grill measures 24-1/2 by 12 by 5 inches. Cuisinart includes a three-year warranty. --Emily Bedard

Great grill/griddle for the family,
By ColoradoChk "Becky" (Creston, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cuisinart GG-2 Grill & Griddle (Kitchen)
I got this grill/griddle as a gift and absolutely love it! My family has started to grow bigger and I wanted something bigger than a skillet for pancakes, grilled sandwiches, grilled hot dogs and hamburgers in winter, etc... and it does a great job. The only reason I gave it a 4 was because when you pour eggs on for scrambled eggs, they start to go down the drain and you need to quickly, just barely lift that side up so you don't lose it all. Other than that, I love it!!

The Breakfast Machine,

This review is from: Cuisinart GG-2 Grill & Griddle (Kitchen)
I had originally intended to buy the Griddler by Cuisinart, however when I went back to the BX to purchase it after Christmas, I found that they were sold out. After being informed that they would not be getting any more Griddlers in, I decided to purchase the Grill & Griddle. I made a great decision in buying this grill.
I have used the grill side to make hamburgers, steak, chicken, fish, grilled veggies and sandwiches with great success. Even though this grill does not come with a hinged lid like the Griddler, making grilled cheeses and paninis is no problem. When making your sandwich, simply place a brick wrapped in foil on top of the sandwich while it's cooking. Voila! Perfectly pressed sammy. The real star for me though, is this little beauty makes a mean breakfast! It cooks pancakes, bacon, sausage and eggs to perfection on the griddle side. I could never get eggs or bacon to cook evenly on my crummy electric range but the job is a snap for Grill & Griddle. The appliance itself is a sleek design with brushed stainless accents and it looks nice in my kitchen so I have no problem leaving it out on the counter top. It does have a fairly large footprint (24.5" x 12") so this may be something to consider if you have a smaller kitchen or limited storage space. Because grill/griddle plate is coated with a non-stick surface you must take care not to use metal utensils as they may damage the coating. You can't put the cooking plate in the dishwasher but it is simple to clean. Use the provided scraper to scrape off any large food particles, sponge it off in the sink with a non-abrasive sponge and dishwashing liquid, rinse and dry. The drip pan and scraper are the only parts which are dishwasher safe. As others have mentioned, the power cord is very short, about 33". This is a safety feature which prevents the cord from being tripped on or caught on an arm and sending hot grill and grease plummeting to the floor. The short cord is no problem for me but it may be something you want to take in consideration based on your kitchen layout. One word of caution about this appliance- If you clean the drip pan by hand, please be very careful when doing so. There is a very sharp metal ridge around the perimeter of the drip pan and I took a sizeable chunk of flesh out of my pinky finger while cleaning. A painful lesson I hope I can help others to avoid. Overall, this is a great appliance and I forsee using it regulary for many years into the future.

Cuisinart Grill & Griddle,
By Moldyoldie (Motown, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cuisinart GG-2 Grill & Griddle (Kitchen)
Received this as a gift. Works great! Steaks cook up perfectly; not quite like char-broiled but darn close. Pancakes are a breeze. Brats need to be covered by a pot lid while cooking lest they burn and take forever to thoroughly cook.
The unit heats evenly and quickly. It's also solidly built. Clean-up is easy with the non-stick cooking surfaces, but the immersible cooking plate can be unwieldy to handle; it might just be too heavy for frail individuals. Darn glad I have it as I use it all the time. ADDENDUM 11/9/08: In the time I've owned this appliance, roughly since the time of my original review, the heating probe has had to be replaced four times! Apparently there's a plastic ring inside the compartment that melts at high temperatures and causes the temperature adjusting knob to loosen, become inoperable, and eventually fall off. Cruisinart customer service has been very good in sending out free replacement units quickly with just a toll-free phone call. I still use the appliance because it does its job so well; I'm just hesitant to use it as often and at as high a temperature as before. ADDENDUM 3/13/10: Well, the dial on the heating probe broke yet again. This time, however, Cuisinart is insisting on charging $25 for a replacement, apparently based on the three-year warranty. Uh-uh! I've downgraded my rating accordingly from four stars to two. This appliance is not worth only three years of good, yet "interruptible" service, followed by intermittent additional $25 expenses. The customer service rep even suggested it might be worth buying an entirely new appliance. This is quite the shame as I loved using this item; it's otherwise a sturdy piece of hardware.
