Cuisinart - Griddler Five - Stainless Steel

Our Button to turn the Griddler Five off & on Broke the first week of using it. One of the Clips that hold the button in place broke, So we keep the button in a drawer to turn it on. I really would Like to get a new button for it somehow!! Mabey Cuisinart can help me get a new button, if they see this review!! I started the warranty online, but I didn't finish the process. We Love this Griddler Five! We use this about 4 times a week for grilling burgers, steaks, pork patties, and sometimes pancakes. This grills better than our outside grill, and It is much quicker and cleaner to do! The removable plates are dishwasher safe! I only wish the clip on button wouldn't of broke, otherwise I would give this 5 stars.

We love the Cuisinart Griddler Five! We got it to replace an old George Foreman. It is so easy to use, makes great Panni's, Grilled Cheese and more. So easy to clean also. Highly recommend!

I picked the right option thanks to the reviews. It's hard to pin down the best feature but for now I'm going with the removable, easy clean grill/griddle plates. The timer and temperature settings are also a highlight along with the one touch preheat. My criticism would be the size. Why would you not design this to fit in a standard cabinet. After rearranging the cabinet contents to make room I find out its too tall to fit between the shelves. I had one cabinet in the lower cabinet that was wide enough and tall enough to accommodate the width and height. The one condition my wife had was that "if we get it, it can't stay on top of the counter ". Almost had to send it back. Now she loves it too.

This was a Christmas gift, it gets used several times a week, is very easy to use cooks evenly, and heats up quickly. The press plates are removable for easy cleaning and it has a very large drip pan for collecting any grease that overflows. Its is compact enough to store easily in any cupboard

I have been making paninis and waffles on this and I love it. My wife and kids use it to make grilled cheese sandwiches and it is great for that too. I ordered the waffle plates separately from this so I could make those and only need one device. Pretty versatile as a cooking device. I used it as a grill too, but I prefer my gas/charcoal grill instead. This is for when I don’t feel like going outside to grill.

Bought this for the price point. Works well once you figure out that one button controls everything (once you figure out the "turn right, turn left, push" sequences). Only a matter of time before that breaks. Returned and bought the upgrade to it.

Nice Little Griddle removable plates for easy cleaning plates are dishwasher safe

I am surprised by how handy this dandy little machine has turned out to be. Seldom a day passes that it's not put to use. It's not just for cheese sandwiches, either. It makes many types of sandwiches special. But, you can also make crab cakes in half the time, hot dogs, and grilled veggies, and I'm sure more goodies I've yet to discover. Haven't tried fried eggs after my first disastrous attempt. It certainly didn't go like the product photos make it look, but thankfully, it's easy to clean up and lightweight for storage.

We have been experimenting with every type of bread and fixings to make the most amazing Panini's. We have not tried it as a grill, but the love the options this griddler provides especially bas future empty-nesters. I have always purchased Cuisinart brand products. I still have a toaster, coffee grinder from my wedding 20 years ago and a blender/chopper that is at least 30 years old. Always the best quality.
