Product Description

Grilling really can't get much easier than this. After assembling the grill (which takes only a few minutes), simply plug it in and allow about 10 minutes to fully preheat the surface while you gather your steaks, kebabs, or whatever's to be grilled. The electric heat has an adjustable range from low (for keeping food warm) to high (for searing steaks). The nonstick grill surface not only means you can use a minimum of added fat, but it also makes cleanup a cinch. The surface has a subtle slope, with channels that draw accumulated fat or other liquids into a tray just below the surface. The high domed and vented lid helps create a circular flow of hot air to ensure even cooking--particularly important for a large roast or whole chicken.

The grill can be placed either directly on a tabletop or atop its pedestal. On its own, the grill surface stands about 6 inches high; with the pedestal, it stands about 2-1/2 feet high, not counting the domed lid. The pedestal is plenty sturdy for cooking, but the grill still seems a bit top-heavy, so pay special attention if grilling in a high-traffic area or near kids. Because of the easy electric heat, this grill can be used outdoors or indoors--when using it indoors, though, be prepared for potential spattering, steam, or other side effects of cooking. --Cynthia Nims

Cuisinart GR-4N 5-in-1 Griddler Review

Your Cuisinart GR-4N Griddler is a great countertop unit providing you 5 cooking options. It can function as contact grill, panini press, full grill, full griddle or half grill/half griddle. This multi-functionality is made possible using a number of removable and reversible cooking plates using a hinged and floating cover. The controls to choose functionality and temperature are situated on its base where there are even indicator lights.

To use the Cuisinart GR-4N to be a contact grill, utilize grill sides with the plates. This feature is fantastic when you really need to cook burgers or thin bits of meat and vegetables quickly as you are able to grill both sides of your food simultaneously. It has a special handle and hinge that enables the cover to alter to the thickness of your food.

The Panini press function of the Griddler is comparable to that relating to a contact grill. It's a good choice when you want to grill sandwiches, breads and quesadillas. It's a good idea to make use of the grill side of your plates nevertheless, you can also utilize the griddle side of the plates or maybe a blend of both, depending on the kind of sandwich you will be making.

You should use the Griddler to be a full grill by opening up the cover and using the grill side of the plates, giving you double cooking space. More food may be cooked together but it should be turned over during the cooking process. By using the griddle sides of the plates instead, you get a full griddle and that is superb for the purpose of preparing breakfast.

Lastly, you can open the cover and employ the grill side for just one plate plus the griddle side for anothe plate will help you use the Cuisinart GR-4N for a half grill/half griddle. Thus giving you the best of both worlds and you may use either temperature control.

The Cuisinart GR-4N 5-in-1 Griddler really is user friendly since it's plates can be snapped into place simply and a release button springs the plates out for removal. Grease with the food will drain into a drip tray or may be scraped into it for quick cleanup. Leftover food or residue about the cooking plates can be removed with the included cleaning/scraping tool. The drip tray, tool and cooking plates are safe in the dishwasher.
