I bought this set of grills for my Cuisinart GN-4N. They of course fit perfectly.

I am pushover for Belgian waffles and the deep pocket pattern on these plates does an absolute perfect job. Not this set comes with a nifty little recipe book which I have looked closely at and the recipes featured look quite good and are quite doable. I have my own personal favorite recipe so have not actually tried any of the ones featured in the book yet...they do look yummy though.

These plates have a non-sticking surface to them and are an absolute snap to clean up. I have put them in the dishwasher which works fine, but I normally hand wash this sort of thing...just old habit I suppose...truth be told.

The price here is just about what you pay the local retail stores in the area and with the free shipping, you are saved the hassle of lugging these things around the rest of the shopping trip

I have had absolutely no sticking when the waffles are removed when done.

I don't know how these plates made the waffles taste so good but they were the best I have ever made and I was just using a mix. They fit perfectly in the Cuisinart Griddler and make clean up a breeze. I bought it so that I could make more waffles at a time because I have 3 kids and this works great. It makes twice the amount at a time compared to my old waffle maker. The recipe booklet with it has some really good sounding recipes and I may make some dry mixes up to give as gifts (cinnamon pecan waffles sound great!)

Now my Cuisinart Griddler has replaced using a griddle, George Foreman grill and waffle maker! If you have a Cuisinart Griddler, you have to grab these!

I bought these waffle plates for my Griddler CGR-4C and they are a slightly different shape than the ones that came with my model but they still snap in perfectly! The nonstick coating works very well, I spray them with cooking spray before using as recommended in the user guide, my batter does not stick to them and I can easily rinse them off in the sink. The waffle recipes that come with it are great and they work well. I love that I can use a grill, griddle, and make waffles all on the same machine, saves counter space big time!

I was delighted that Cuisinart developed a waffle set to add to their Griddler. It completes an already great unit. However, I am disappointed in several things. First, the material used to make the waffler is lighter in weight than the originals, so I wonder if they are of poorer quality. Second, even following the directions to spray with oil, the waffles seem to stick unless you practically burn them and they don't rise as high as Belgian waffles are supposed to.

This is the perfect addition to the Griddler - one of my favorite appliances, especially during southern California summers where it makes more sense than heating up the stove or oven.

Overall I was happy with the results. The waffles were decent though I wouldn't serve them up for Christmas breakfast. That said, for a casual weekend breakfast, it was perfect.

The Good

- Enhances the already super-useful Griddler.

- Compact and easier to store than a dedicated waffle maker

- Cleanup is a snap, just pop the plates out and add to the dishwasher (I wouldn't) or hand wash. MUCH EASIER than a waffle maker!

- I found the shape and size of the waffles to be PERFECT for families

- I prefer not to use oil; the non-stick surface performed quite well and not a single waffle stuck (this way does make for a softer waffle without the classic crisp of a well made waffle, a toss-up I'm happy with)

- Unlike many waffle makers, you control the temperature so after a little trial and error, you can cook the waffles to your exact liking

The Not-so-good

- At 1/3 the cost of the Griddler itself, $35 is a bit pricey

- Uneven cooking: The heating coils don't reach the center of the plates. While the outer 2/3 cooked up beautifully, the inner third were pale (This may be an issue with my machine which is about 5 years old. I don't know if Cuisinart has improved on newer machines but owners of older machines should be aware)

My wife and I had just about given up on making waffles at home since our old waffle maker was so hard to clean because it didn't come apart and could not be put in water. It has mostly gathered dust in the cupboard. We received a Griddler as a Christmas gift and already enjoyed making sandwiches and pancakes....then I found out about the waffle plates. Removable, easy to clean and nice deep pockets for Belgian-style waffles. The the non-stick surface is great...they heat well and the waffles are browned evenly all over. Since the plates come off they are easy to clean in the sink. I think we have bought our last box of frozen waffles. Now we make a big batch on the weekends, eat some and freeze the rest for a quick breakfast later in the week. Our old hard to clean waffle baker is headed for a garage sale.

I recently bought the Waffle Plates for our Cuisinart GR Griddler and they are wonderful - truly a great adjunct to that appliance. The only problem is a little sticking (I tried vegetable spray, but the high heat made it gummy). The waffles were a cross between Belgium and standard waffles; and they were so easy to make.

I wish cuisinart would just include the waffle plates with the high-end griddler. It was an expensive add-on. That said, with these plates the Griddler is one of the best waffle makers I've used as they cook fast, evenly, and perfectly crisp.

The waffle plates for the Griddler seem to be covered with the same non-stick surface as the original plates. We made low carb waffles and are very pleased with the results we've had with it so far. They don't stick and the plates clean very easily. They attach the same easy way the original plates do. I would buy them again and recommend them.

Love these interchangeable Waffle Plates for my already great Cuisinart 5-in-1 Grill! I love having an all-in-one appliance that could make pancakes, panini sandwiches, hamburgers - and now, can make waffles! The plates pop in and out with ease for cleaning and storing. The grills do not need much prep. The cooked waffles release easily without sticking. We wanted a waffle grill that was medium-large size and could make larger quantities of waffles at once for times when we had morning guests. We are also able to pour the batter on just half of the griddle for when it is just the two of us. The batter stays well contained where ever it is poured. Four stars are for the quality of the waffle itself- just not the same as the waffles that our small waffle maker made - thinner, crispier and lighter (using the same homemade batter). I would probably buy it again - just for the convenience of having all of these appliances in one and for the ability to make larger quantities of waffles at a time.
