This is by far the best Griddler I’ve ever owned. It’s easy to use and cooks food to the perfect consistency. I’ve made hamburgers, steaks, pork chops and even pastry with fresh fruit inside. It’s larger than expected but it makes cooking for my large family so much easier and faster too !! My daughters love this Cuisinart Elite Griddler as much as I do and my oldest daughter plans on adding this to her wedding registry. My favorite aspect is how easy it is to clean after use. I feel like I’ve already gotten my money’s worth out of it and I’ve had it for a month now.
