CUSINART GRIDDLE AND GRILL

(Multifunctional: Contact , Panini Press, Full Grill, Full Griddle, Half Grill and Half Griddle)

Quick and Convenient for Gourmets in a Hurry

There's nothing better than a stack of crunchy golden sandwiches filled with an unlimited selection of hot melting fillings. Makes two sandwiches at a time and any-time-of-the-day snacks.

We tested The Cuisinart griddle grill for function and design and found it to be one of the best on the market for making any-time-of-the-day snacks. WHY? Because the lid has a central pivot which adjusts to the different thickness of the bread, cooking our ham Panini, or fresh baked cheese bagettes with a more even browning.

Use both plates to grills meats, fish, vegetables, hamburgers and kebabs, that look so appetising with a caramelised grid pattern across the toasted surface of each food. A drip tray will drain away oil to make it healthier.

Cooking times and different settings are suggested in the Cusinart booklet, but we found that the medium setting seemed about the right temperature for all the foods we tested. Including C.P's Yummy Rare Roast Beef with Onion marmalade Sandwiches, or Crispy French Chocolate Brioche ( which during testing produced such a magical tantalizing aromas, it drew a whole crowd of hungry testers into the kitchen.

C.P whose a dab hand at making buttermilk drop scones at breakfast also loves the fact that the easily removable griddle plates turn over to become a flat surface, and using both plates make about 8 small pancakes in one go.

C.P's Tip
The non-stick plates virtually self clean with a wipe of a damp cloth For more greasy food spills the plates are dishwasher safe but we recommend washing them by hand for preserving the surface material long term.
