Cuisinart’s Five-in-One Griddler is a Powerhouse in the Kitchen

Looking for an appliance that will help make prep time in the kitchen faster and easier without taking up much space?

We recently discovered the Cuisinart Griddler FIVE, a handy appliance that offers 5-in-1 cooking options, ideal for grilling, griddling, searing and more.

The Griddler features reversible plates which easily can be interchanged for grilling and griddling.

Use the grill plate side to grill meats kebabs and vegetables, while griddle plate allows you to easily prepare pancakes, eggs, bacon, French toast and seared food.

The appliance can be used as a contact grill, allowing for grilling or griddling on both sides, but then also opens up, so you can grill or griddle side by side.

I love the level of control the Griddler offers, allowing you to customize the temperature in 25 degree increments ranging between 175 degrees and 450 degrees. When the plates have reached your desired temperature, you hear a beep, alerting you that it is time to start grilling or griddling! The LCD screen even features a progress bar informing you of the progress of heating up.

I was excited to put the Griddler to the test, cooking up a few items that I love
to grill and griddle.

I started with grill, where I was able to grill some delicious opened face sandwiches. If I opened the grill all the way up, I would be able to grill four sandwiches simultaneously.

I used the contact grill for a similar grilled cheese recipe, and loved how evenly both sides of the bread toasted seamlessly.

Griddling was up next and I was pleased with how thoroughly I was able to cook crisp veggie burger patties and roast some veggies. 

Pancakes were a breeze – we loved having all the griddling surface area of the two plates.

Cleanup had never been easier. Simply pop out the plates once they cool and put them in the dishwasher.

We know you’ll love this versatile appliance!
