This appliance has been a valuable addition to our kitchen. We rarely ate sandwiches, & now we find them an intriguing challenge. The versatility is wonderful, having a panini press & a griddle in one appliance. It also makes cleanup a breeze.
This is the second time I buy this Cuisinart griddler! It has some updates features such as the tray to collect the oil and convenient reversible plates. It’s convenient for me to grill my burgers and vegetables in this electric griddle and not having to grill outside of the house when is cold during the winter! Meat and vegetables grill very well and I am satisfied with it.
I love it; haven't tried a panini yet, but have used it as a griddle (love the both sides function) and grill. There are no downsides to this appliance.
