[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great cooker,I cooked some chicken breast and they came out looking like they came straight off the Grill outside and they cook pretty fast on the Griddler Grill and I love the Space and not to wide or to long I can out four good pieces of Breast of Chicken or Six handmade hamburger on the Grill or Salmon Cakes instead whatever you prefer but I haven't tried to do the Salmon cakes yet but I like the grill indentation it leaves in the meat like it's fresh if the Grill.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish it would’ve been easier to use. We are a busy household and we were disappointed. It took way too long to figure out. Having to toggle between the temp, smokeless or what your cooking. It wouldn’t stay set. It grilled ok, but just not convenient or user friendly.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really like this smokeless contact griddler. Perfect for a small kitchen and to cook a couple steaks or burgers. Nice for when you don't need to bust out the outdoor grill, like the dead of winter. And perfect for a small apartment where you can't have an outdoor grill. This reminds me of an appliance I had back in the day, except it is way upgraded and better quality. And it works so much better. I've cooked meats, vegetables, panini type sandwiches and I have even made pancakes and sausage on it. Drip tray is super convenient and well hidden in the bottom where grease cannot accidentally escape.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have really enjoyed this griddler. Takes a few tries to get used to but in no time you'll be making super easy meals. I wouldn't say it's 100% smokeless as I did notice a little bit cooking burgers but it wasn't anything major. Also highly recommend as a sandwich press. It really adds a bit extra to a plain sandwich. In all I'd highly recommend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am absolutely blown away by this indoor grill. I absolutely love it. I am an avid griller and unfortunately due to snow and a wild winter I am unable to grill outside. So this was a wonderful addition to my home for my cooking needs. It makes absolutely amazing burgers and quesidillas it also includes a nice instructions book that includes numerous different recipes that I never even thought of using the grill for. I highly recommend this product you won't be disappointed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Cuisinart Contact Griddler with smokeless mode is perfect! The design is very nice and looks fancy, I like the blue screen. The grill/press is very sturdy, I like how the top can adapt itself depending on what type of food is underneath it, when you close it. You have so many options! You can use it open with both grill plates or open with one grill and one griddle or with both griddle plates and same when closed! The plates are very very easy to put on, take off and clean. I really like the scraping tool to clean the grills. So far I am using it everyday! With grilling you can make your own indoor BBQ, panini press, pizzas heater, breakfast maker, etc. It took me a little time to understand how to use the control panel with so many options but with the instructions book in 5 min it was a go! I like the recipes that they give at the end of the manual. The smokeless grills are really working, first time for me that I made bacon without having smoke everywhere in the house. I love the drip tray, it collects fat and water from the meat. I made a wonderful breakfast with a combination of grill and griddle plates. One side was cooking pancakes, eggs, and cheese while the other was cooking bacon! And the bacon wasn’t bathing in fat because of the drip tray. You can adjust the temperature on both sides. The grill goes from 175F to 425F and the smoke less grill lets you choose between the type of meat you want to cook (fish, pork, beef, etc). You can even cook on one side and have the other one off. I made panini's too, with veggie or meat versions. Loved that it made a crunchy bread without burning it. For me, there are 2 down sides; The first one it that when you set the temperature on either side you cannot adjust it. You have to shut it down and restart it to do so. The other issue it that when you open both side the appareil makes a V shape (perfectly stable for sure) but if I was putting my egg to close to the edge it was going a little bit overboard. You can also set a timer but when the timer is done the grill stops working/cooking. I like using it without the timer. I really enjoy cooking with it. I had an old one and this one is far better and fancier. Love it, recommend it, look at the pictures!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gave this Griddle/Grill Smokeless to my husband for him to try. He was really impressed at the way it worked out for him! The plates are easily removable for dishwishing or handwash and you even have a small drip tray in the middle. It can go up to 425F top and bottom and cooks the meats etc, like a charm! Would definitely be recommending this item for my friends and family alike! LOL, my husband is already telling his coworkers to purchase one as well! Guess he's sold! Haha 5 stars for me!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used this griddler the first night we got it and it cooked our steaks perfectly. It's so easy to use, it's easy to cleanup, and it works as advertised. I'd definitely recommend to others! We may buy another for our ranch house.
