I LOVE this grill/griddle. Specifically, the grill side is great for meat, fish and panini. The griddle side is great for pancakes, because the grill opens flat. I've had it for only a month, so durability remains to be seen. I'll be using it only every week or ten days, though, so between the infrequency of use and the Cuisinart quality, I expect it will last for several years.
Changes an ordinary sandwich into an extraordinary sandwich. Great for making breakfast, lunch or dinner. Nonstick surface removes easily and cleans up quickly.
