Grill Reviews

This is my first piece of Cuisinart. I must say I am very impressed with it! Food looks much more attractive, even sausages take on a lovely grilled look. I have used this pan several times in the past week..What's the best feature besides the nice browning effect? The very easy cleanup! This is much easier to clean than caphalon...A tiny drop of liquid and water, and quick swoosh with the sponge, and its clean! Will be looking to buy more pieces in the future..Don't be afraid of this one! A+++++

I use this pan quite a lot, actually. The ridges make it really easy to grill things. I also like to steam things in this pan ... putting a little water, or red wine ... works well as it gets underneath the food.

Clean-up is not as easy at it would appear (given the un-eveness of the cooking surface), but what're ya gonna do?

I especially enjoy grilled foods, not only because of its flavor, but because of its appearance. This grill give you perfect grill marks every time! Beautifully spaced and perfectly browned grill marks all the while cooking the item(s) evenly through. Oh, and very easy to clean! Wonderful product, I highly recommend it...a great investment!

THIS IS GREAT TO PRESS A CUBAN SANDWICH. IT'S HARD TO FIND A LARGE FLAT SURFACE TO PRESS THESE SANDWICHES. IT HAS MANY OTHER USES AND YOU CAN GRILL FOOD AS WELL.

The design of the hinges (fixed rather than slip-joint} severely limits the thickness of the sandwich you can make. With more than one ingredient in the sandwich, the heating plates are not parallel. The top slice of bread gets toasted unenenly, and the cheese oozes out.

The product does exactly what it is billed to do: it grills sandwiches quickly. The problem is that the grill is very small, so normal grocery store bread is way too big and it hangs out the side. In addition, if you want to make a bigger sandwich, i.e., stacked with several ingredients, the lid will not close and lock without Herculean strength and the risk of burning yourself. It does OK with two small pieces of bread and a small amount of cheese. But, for that, it's just as easy to heat up a nonstick frying pan. It would be, however, handy for students in dorms or others with no access to a stove.

This has been a great time-saving addition to our kitchen. We're all doing the Atkins diet so we're not using bread in ours. I use it to make mini omlettes that the hubby and kids can eat on the way to work or school. It makes great little scrambled egg "pockets" that you can eat with your fingers. We add meats and cheeses and have a fast, easy, good-for-you breakfast on the go. Beats the heck out of Pop Tarts!

I only wish the grills could be removed for washing. I've found that if you use a bit of non-stick spray before cooking and wipe with a damp paper towel right after use, clean up is easy.

I'm sending one of these to the dorm with my son!

I revieved 3 of these grills, and all 3 of them had a plug problem..I can see having a problem with one of them, but not all 3 with the same problem..
They all sparked trying to plug them in and taking them out of the electric outlets also.
I went around my house and tryed other electric outlets, and had the Same problem!
Some of the plugs where sharp at the ends, and they didn't exactly fit the outlets very good!

This is made in China, and it sure shows it.
I would not recomened this to anyone.
I think its very dangerous, and its just Junk....

I saw this in the gold box and thought what a good price it was,and that it had the Cuisinart name, but not if its going to electrocute someone, or catch your house on fire, or short out your whole house.
Not a good buy at any price...

Also the inside is small, and looks like it would not fit a sandwich of any size very easaly.

I really would have liked to rate this a big fat 0 , this doesnt deserve any stars .

Shame on you Cuisnart for putting out such a shoddy, defective product.
