Amazon.com Review
A floating hinge and two sets of cooking plates turn this multifunctional unit into a contact grill, panini press, large open grill, or griddle. Made of brushed stainless steel, this four-in-one, space-saving appliance offers cooking options that range from pancakes, sausages, and grilled cheese to fish, hamburgers, and panini. Its floating hinge adjusts to the thickness of food, while adjustable temperature controls ensure food is cooked properly. The unit features a sturdy panini-style handle and convenient indicator lights, as well as nonstick grill and griddle plates that are removable, dishwasher-safe, and designed to drain grease away from food for healthier cooking. Two dishwasher-safe drip cups to collect grease are included, plus a dishwasher-safe scraping tool for easy cleanup. The unit measures 13 by 11-1/4 by 6-1/2 inches and carries a limited three-year warranty. --Catie Unger

Good idea, poor execution - Reviewed on 2008-10-28
4 customers found this review helpful, 4 did not.
I needed a griddle, and this seemed like a great idea -- an appliance that does double duty, creates a nifty panini in addition to pancakes, good manufacturer(?) -- a slam dunk, right? Wrong.
This has been a disappointment, mainly because of poor heating. You never know what temperature surface you will get. If set to 350, it may eventually reach it, but put cool batter on it, and it may take 10 minutes to get back up to temperature. And turn the heat up, to 450, say? Next time, they'll burn in 2 minutes flat.
I received a replacement from Cuisinart, and the new unit seemed to heat a little more evenly, but I think it was mostly wishful thinking. AND, the new unit doesn't stay level when in an open position -- it tilts when a spatula presses on it. Now my warranty has expired, so it's just taking up space for the occasional sandwich.
So if you're looking for something that will grill a hamburger like a George Foreman grill, get a GF grill. It will most likely do a better job than this unit. And for pancakes, get a real griddle. That's what I'm gonna do.
