Cuisinart's powerful and versatile Griddler offers five cooking options for every meal of the day: contact grill, panini press, full griddle, full grill and half griddle/half grill. The reversible and removable nonstick grill-griddle plates provide a large surface area for cooking plenty of pancakes, eggs and bacon or grilling hamburgers and veggie kabobs. For perfectly melty paninis, the hinge adjusts to the thickness of your sandwiches for optimal pressing. The integrated drip tray collects grease, and all removable parts clean up easily in the dishwasher.Cuisinart has been creating inventive and accessible kitchen appliances, cookware and accessories for over 50 years.
