Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart GR-4 Griddler
Customer Review: Great appliance!
Summary: 4 Stars
I use this appliance more than any other I have. It is great for cooking chicken, bacon and paninis. Customer Review: Great grilling all year round
Summary: 4 Stars
I shopped around for a grill but not extensivley and this is the one that I liked the best. I like the floating hinge option because it does cook the food evenly. I also really liked the fact that it folds open and you can use it as a griddle. We have a small apartment so the more appliances that are multi funtioning the better.
So far I have had no problems some of the other reviewers mentioned such as the grease splattering etc. I do not put the plates in the dishwasher and so far have had no problems cleaning them. I personally am not a huge fan of cuisinart, but I really do love this grill. I have cooked burgers, veggies, and evn frozen chicken breast in it!
the only real downsides I can see is that the plates do seem a little light, the grill I used to have had very heavy and much sturdier seeming plates, and I can see how the little grease catcher could be a proble if you were cooking food with a lot of grease or liquid but I am not sure how else they would get around it really.
Overall this is a great product and I hope to be able to enjoy if for many years to come!
Customer Review: Total Waste of Money
Summary: 2 Stars
I. like so many other people was fooled by the TV commercials for this product.But, after purchasing it and using it for a few months, it just isn't worth even a fraction of the cost.It is especially poorly designed for cooking anything that might create grease. Like burgers or steaks. The method this product uses to remove the grease from the cooking surface is the worst I have seen. the grease flows from the cooking surface into little plastic cups. Which if not placed perfectly don't catch all of the grease. If the cup gets full,you get grease everywhere when trying to replace the cup. Also, when you life the top to remove the food, the grease runs down the top plate and onto your counter or whereever you have the appliance set up. The grease which doesn't make it off of the cooking surface burns and is hard to clean.On top of all of these problems, the food just doesn't come out very good. Burgers,chicken and such develop a hard outer surface and tend to dry out as well. I would not reccomend this product to anyone, especially at the $129 price I paid for it.Customer Review: Arrived broken
Summary: 1 Stars
I selected this grill after reading all the wonderful reviews about it and because it was made by Cuisinart. However, it arrived damaged! When my husband pulled it out of the box, a small piece flicked to the floor -- part of the mechanism that holds the top and bottom together. It was not usable without that piece. It immediately went back to the returns department. This was very dissapointing; I have always trusted the Cuisinart name, but will no longer automatically assume a Cuisinart product will be quality after this experience.Customer Review: Wow!
Summary: 5 Stars
Works great for everthing I have cooked! I have grilled marinated chicken, sausages and burger patties. I really like it for pancakes as well. I would recommend using a stainless steel cleaner after cleaning grease spatters from the outside. it has kept the finish looking great after 2 years of use.
