Grill steaks, burgers, chicken, veggies, potatoes, and more--rain or shine--with this indoor, electric grill that sits right on the kitchen counter. The unit's extra-large upper and lower 12-by-9-inch nonstick, non-removable grill plates provide even grilling and toasting, plus offer a drip spout and cup to catch excess fat, making it easy to drain grease away from food for healthier cooking. Its professional-style floating hinge precisely positions the top plate to accommodate any sandwich thickness and to ensure both sides of foods, including the popular panini sandwiches, are always evenly grilled. The contact grill features "power-on" and "ready-to-cook" indicator lights, plus variable temperature settings that include Off, Low, Medium, and High. For added convenience, the nonstick grilling plates require little or no oil and are simple to clean. An instruction book with recipes and a cleaning tool with the Cuisinart logo are included. In brushed stainless-steel housing embossed with "Griddler Express," the contact grill measures 15-1/2 by 6 by 15 inches and carries a three-year limited warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars cooks like a dream; cleans like a nightmare!, March 28, 2006

By	R. Schroeder (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Griddler cooks like a dream. It's fast!! I've tried hamburgers, chicken, fajitas and they all came out really well. I'm looking foward to trying paninis next. The only problem is cleaning the unit. It takes longer to clean than to cook most items. I have figured out that if you spray water on the plates once it has cooled it cleans much easier but you still have to methodically clean each groove in the grill and then when you clean down the drip trough you have to reclean the grooves. I'm considering changing over to the new George Foreman grill just to be able to remove the plates and put them in the dishwasher.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent panini maker and contact grill, March 9, 2006

By	Jim (Silver Spring, MD) - See all my reviews

It's large enough to handle two large sandwiches or 3-4 boneless chicken breasts. Both sides cook evenly. The floating lid adapts well to different thicknesses. It's easy to clean even though the plates aren't removable. Be sure to let it cool down before moving it. Many outside surfaces get hot

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, not great, August 15, 2007

By	SBR "SBR" (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews

Good for the price. Great would require restaurant quality. As far as non-removable plates, they are not a negative but a positive. Non-removable plates are generally more sturdy, secure and permanently attached to the heating element. Removable plates generally mean poor heating time and coverage.
