We’ve used ours for panini's, tortilla rolls, and grilled cheese sandwiches— all cooked perfectly. Buying the waffle maker attachment is a good idea; it makes great waffles once you get the hang of it.
It's exactly what I wanted; compact, fast cooking, and grilling in the AC in Florida. Learning the amount of heat and time for each meal is coming along and clean up is not that bad. The coated plates clean easily. I highly recommend it.
I had been looking for years for a griddle/grill that could be easily cleaned and had the potential to look like new forever. After having quite a few grills/griddles in my past, I can say unequivocally that Cuisinart’s is the best one I’ve ever had and for which I paid comparatively less. You’ll see. You won’t be disappointed!
