Manufacturer's Description
This award winning appliance is a must have for every kitchen, featuring interchangeable griddle and grill plates and its unique design offers multifunctional cooking. The grill cooks on both sides so you can cook open, closed or even flat for a double cooking surface. This is also the perfect indoor barbeque and is perfect for the complete full English!

The spouts on the plates allow grease / fat to run away from the food for healthier, reduced-calorie cooking. The floating hinge enables the lid to rest evenly across the food for perfect cooking results. And when you have finished, the plates are easily removable and can be washed in the dishwasher for hassle-free cleaning.

Best contact grill so far
This is my fourth contact grill and the best of the lot. I have always loved the concept and taste of fat reduced food but the cleaning of the others was a real chore and eventually they became unhygienic in my opinion so were binned. This one has completely removable plates which just pop into the dishwasher for full cleaning. Additionally the cooking is completely controllable which allows you to cook different foods with ease. To sum it up, a great product.

Excellent Grill/Griddle
A usable grill/griddle. Easy to clean. Light weight. This out strips the more popular "Lean" products in its field. I don't feel there was a need to have seperate thermostate controls for the Grill or Griddle other wise this is a excellent product and will not disappoint.

Very pleased - one minor glitch!
I've been using this product now for about 3 months and I really recommend (based on previous disappointments) that it you're shopping for a griddle, pay the extra for this one. It's extremely good. Cleaning is easy, and it's a nice, big, metal, solid lump of a thing which looks as though it might last 20 years rather than 20 uses.

My only gripe - and in reality, I suspect this is my fault, rather than Cuisinart's - is that the plain grill plates have warped slightly. It's not a problem if you're cooking anything more than about 3 mm thick, which is what you'd tend to use the plain plates for anyway, but it niggles at the engineer / pedant's part of my brain as I try to figure out how I can straighten them! I think probably the cause of it was dumping the hot plates into a sink full of hot water and detergent, so here's a clue - if you have one of these, don't do that.

Perhaps it's just a testament to my miserableness that despite having said this glitch is likely to be my fault, I've only given it 4 stars - but I can live with that. Overall, it's head and shoulders above the nearest competition. If you have one, you'll use it - which is more than can be said for that juicer / smoothie maker / warm water footbath you've got hidden in a cupboard somewhere :-)
