Cuisinart GR4 Indoor Grill

Pros: gets hot quickly, true grilling, handsome design
Cons: non yet

I have tried the Villaware Uni panini grill, the Delonghi open countertop grill and another panini type grill (approx $90), and returned them all (ouch, those return shipping charges hurt). I never considered the Geroge Foreman grills because they always ...

Pros: good for small family or snacks, fast heat up and easy to clean
Cons: Storage of extra plates is annoying.

Oh my gosh, I saw this product profiled on some Good Morning America and thought it might be handy. I like grilled panini and grilled veggies and veggie burgers but I have no clue how to use our very expensive Tec barbeque. I thought this grill ...

Pros: Extremely versatile, easy to clean, relatively compact size
Cons: Use oil or cooking spray with more difficult foods like chicken

After years of using the George Foreman grill and other clones, I wasn't very satisfied with how well or evenly the food ever cooked. If you had something thick or uneven, forget it. In an effort to find something to cook more food more evenly, I did a ...

Pros: Style, ease of cleaning, even heating, easy to use
Cons: No waffle maker option; could have saved $40 at Costco

My first countertop electric grill was a George Forman...no thermostat and a bear to clean. Then along came the Hamilton Beach...removal grills, dishwasher safe. But the HB was only fair at grilling sandwiches because it didn't have the compound hinge ...

Pros: High quality. Most versatile grill on market. 3-year warranty. Great Cuisinart reputation.
Cons: A timer would be one nice addition!

Just bought this unit at Best Buys for a shade under $100 and I'm very impressed with it so far. I like the 3-year warranty. That tells me they have enough confidence in their craftsmanship to back it up. The removable grill/griddle plates are a big ...

Pros: Cooks food quickly and evenly. Well built. Simple cleanup.
Cons: None.

I love this griddler. Since I bought it a month ago my husband and I have cooked: Chicken breasts from frozen (1/2 an hour tops, well done and still juicy) Bacon ( even cooking, fast and no splatters ) Tortillas with melted cheese in the middle ( ...

Pros: Super easy cleanup, even cooking, multitude of uses if you are creative.
Cons: None at this time!

I initially purchased this for use as a Panini sandwich maker and for the benefits of contact grilling (i.e. leaner cooking as advertised by other contact grill makers) After making my first two panini sandwiches, and seeing how cooking on both sides at ...

Pros: Grill plates remove to go in dishwasher.
Cons: Not hot enough to cook steaks. Cooks pancakes too slow. Needs more wattage.

I purchased this grill/panini/griddle by Cuisinart because I wanted a panini maker. This machine will make a nice panini for you. The bread will brown nicely and the meat/cheese/veggies inside will be a good temperature for eating. If you plan to ...

Pros: Fabulous results so far. Using it daily. Just load grill plates into dishwasher.
Cons: None so far.

I've owned 2 previous electric indoor grills before but this is my first panini-style indoor 'contact' grill. I have to say, I really love this unit. We recently renovated our kitchen and with more countertop and storage space I decided to buy a ...

Pros: Cooking speed, grill flexibility, ease of removing grill plates, overall build quality
Cons: Grease drip off back when grill is opened, grooved grill plates hard to clean

I bought this grill primarily based on reviews read here, and, for the most part, I was not disappointed. It is very handy, cooks burgers, steaks, chicken, etc. in half the time of a fry pan or gas grill. It has a choice of grill plates, flat or grooved. ...

Pros: Versatility, super easy to clean up, quick to heat up, healthier meals.
Cons: Small drip cups, no timer/cooktime setting

I started out with a ceramic indoor grill - which was nice, but clean up was awful as the grease and such would drip from the rack to the heating element/catch pan. I loved the taste, but hated the elbow grease and time it took to clean it. My ...

Pros: Easy to use, easy to clean. Very versatile.
Cons: It's heavy and bulky, but that's not worth complaining about.

I purchased this product for my husband for his birthday. He'd been eyeing it up ever since the first time he heard about it. I shopped around for a while before deciding to buy it at Best Buy. I had some Best Buy Rewards to spend and it was around ...

Pros: Easy to use, clean design
Cons: control lights are too dim

The Cuisinart Griddler GR4 is an attractive appliance that seems more or less well built and justifies its somewhat high price. There are other competitors, like some products from George Foreman. (Although the George Foreman products I looked at were ...

Pros: Easy to clean and quick cook time.
Cons: I don't see any cons to this product.

I don't love to cook and after purchasing the Cuisinart Griddler, I have to say I have a new found appreciation for making meals.  It is so easy to use.  I can cook so many different types of foods, from lamb chops to hamburgers to chicken to ...

Pros: Removable grill plates, easy to clean, lightweight.
Cons: Pricey, but worth it in the long run.

I wanted one of these cool grillers when they first came out but at $129.00 I just wasn't sure I wanted to pay that much so I bought a panini grill for around $50.00 instead. While the panini grill was good beginning I still lusted for this Cuisinart ...
