## Description

Compact ConvenienceFor succulent steaks, juicy burgers and crispy grilled sandwiches, look no further than the Cuisinart Griddler Grill and Panini Press. The unit's upper and lower nonstick, removable grill plates provide even grilling and toasting. The integrated drip tray makes it easy to drain grease away from food for healthier cooking. Designed like professional units, its floating hinge adjusts to accommodate any thickness for perfectly grilled thin or thick panini and sandwiches. The present temperature is ideal for grilling and takes the guesswork out of cooking to ensure crisp, golden-brown results. With 'Power On' and 'Ready to Cook' indicator lights, operation is simple. Even more, the GR-11 takes up minimal space and provides just enough surface area to cook for a couple of friends or family members. Panini Made EasyThe word "panini" is an Italian term for grilled sandwiches. Panini can include a combination of ingredients such as vegetables, meat and cheese layered between two pieces of freshly baked bread. The sandwich is then pressed between two grill plates to toast the bread and warm the filling.Use your Griddler Grill & Panini Press to grill sandwiches, breads and quesadillas. Tuck your favorite ingredients between artisan breads and press or make grilled sandwiches and crispy traditional panini two at a time. Experiment with a variety of savory or sweet sandwiches for any meal. We recommend using freshly baked bread to produce the best-tasting panini. Popular breads for panini are focaccia, michette, ciabatta, and thick slices of Italian bread.The Griddler Grill & Panini Press was designed with a unique handle and hinge that allows the cover to adjust to the thickness of the sandwich you are preparing. This allows for even toasting and heating. Light pressure can be applied to the handle to press and heat the sandwich to your liking. When cooking two or more panini, it is important that the thickness of all sandwiches is the same so the cover will close evenly on the panini.Two Ways to GrillThe Griddler Grill & Panini Press can also be used as a contact grill to cook burgers, boneless pieces of meat, thin cuts of meat and vegetables. You can easily grill anything with even results, from a thinly-sliced potato to a sirloin steak. The floating hinge adjusts the cover to grill meats on both sides at once. Open flat to grill steaks, veggies and more.The contact grill function works best when you want to cook something in a short amount of time or when you are looking for a healthy method of grilling. When cooked on the contact grill, food will cook quickly because you are grilling both sides of the food at the same time. The ribs on the grill plates combined with the grease spout at the rear of the plates allows the grease to drip from the meat and drain off the plates. Product FeaturesBase and Cover Solid construction with a brushed stainless steel self-adjusting cover. Panini-Style Handle Sturdy cast-metal handle adjusts the cover to accommodate thickness of food. Removable Grill Plates Nonstick for oil-free options. Dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup. Indicator Lights Signal 'Power On' and 'Ready to Cook.' Drip Tray Collects grease and can be removed from the base for easy cleanup. Plate Release Buttons Push in to release and remove cooking plates. Hinge Release Button Allows the cover to lie back for cooking in the flat position. Adjustable Front Feet Tilts the unit to increase grease drainage. Instruction and Recipe Booklet Included Try out fun recipes for paninis, appetizers, desserts and more.

Review: Value for $$ - Great value for $$. Cook time is minimal as it heats up fast. Easy to clean and small enough to store in a cabinet.
Review: It's well worth the price - We originally had a Sunbeam grill that we used for chicken and sandwiches which worked well but was a pita to clean as you weren't supposed to get anything wet. I would hold it sideways under the water so the plates would get wet but nothing else. It eventually stopped working; probably got wet but no big deal as i got it on freecycle. This was the replacement, i only wanted one that i could remove the plates. I was a bit disappointed at the size at first, thinking it would hardly hold anything, but I've been pleasingly surprised. We use it for EVERYTHING! Three boneless chicken breasts fit nicely, two huge burgers, three sandwiches on bakery Italian bread, one very thick porterhouse, tons of stuff and it all cooks perfectly. Everything sears well and the inside is juicy. The only thing i killed on it were 2 NY strips, but they were really thin, which i usually don't get, and i didn't think about how long i was leaving them on for as opposed to my normal 2inch thick steaks. I've never used it in the open position. Not having an on/off switch hasn't bothered me, nor has not having a temperature gauge. The preset temperature seems perfect for everything. The hinge works well for positioning thicker items. I agree with other reviewers that the lid isn't heavy, but that isn't an issue. Everything cooks evenly. For sandwiches i want to press, i put an old cast-iron iron on the lid and over the handle and that works perfectly to add the needed weight. A foil covered brick would work well too, the local Cuban place uses that for their press. The removable plates are so wonderful for cleaning; they easily pop off and nothing sticks. I uses got soapy water and a papertowel to clean threm so my sponge doesn't get messy. I've never put them in the dishwasher as i don't have one. Thet do sometimes take a jiggle to get them back on as the end slips into little clips then you lay them in place and push and they click in, if you don't hear three click they aren't seated correctly and you try again. The people who wrote that the plates fall off either aren't seating them properly or they have a defective product and should return it. The drip container works really well for collecting all the fat that runs off. I just recently realized there are little feet to put the surface on an angle so the fat runs off better, silly me, I'll have to try using them :) I use a damp paper towel for the body of the unit, but it doesn't really get messy, just dusty if i leave it on the counter. Out takes up little space so i usually put it in a cupboard. The cord is about a foot long. I've had it since April 2015and use it asset least twice a week, sometimes 3 or 4 times a week and it works just as well now as when i first got it. The grill can't be beat, i highly recommend it and would get another if it broke tomorrow.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the cooking surface made from? I see the house is stainless steel but no mention of the cooking surface materials. Is it non-toxic?**
A: Teflon. It may be BPA Free as someone said but that does not mean it is 100% safe. All teflon has The chemical - called perfluorooctanoic acid, or PFOA - is used to make compounds called fluoropolymers, which are used in turn to make Teflon and other products like oil and water-repellent coatings on carpet, textiles, leather and paper. If you cook at very high temperatures some of the chemicals can be released in the air as carcinogens. That said, I use my 5-1 Griddler often and just make sure I don't turn the heat way up. It's just another thing for us to worry about. The FDA came out with this over 14 yrs ago and still has done nothing one way or the other.

**Q: I bought one waffle plates before but it damage, how can i get the replacement?**
A: I bought one from GVODE Amazon store, it works well for my griddler, i think it better than original plates, you can try it.

**Q: Like this product,multifunction, can make waffles as well. However, the original waffle plates was damaged by me. Is there any way to repair it.**
A: If the waffle plates is damaged, I suggest replacing it.But I've been using Gvode's waffle plates, which fits the  Cuisinart Griddler GR-4N perfectly and is more affordable.Amazon line：https://amazon.com/dp/B0722KJ8TT

**Q: I want to buy a waffle plates, where can i get it?**
A: I got them on Amazon. Look up the panini maker you bought and see if when you scroll down a little you see a box where they show you things frequently bought together.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A new, Improved Product
*by B***G on January 4, 2026*

Replaced a Cuisinart Griddler that was a decade old. Much better with removable grills and fat tray. A much better appliance that kept all of the good tings about the original.
