Customer Reviews Versatile compact counter top grill and griddle Date: 2007-12-14 | Rating: 5 Griddle cakes and sausage, grilled salmon and vegetables, grilling burgers and toasting buns, the Cuisinart GR55 is a versatile compact counter top grill and griddle. The two double sided cooking plates are Teflon coated steel; they're easy to install and remove, and because the plates are non-stick and removable, they're a fast clean. I enjoy the fact can use both grill and griddle at the same time. This is great for cooking for my family, too, because it has plenty of grill surface. The plates always heat up evenly and quickly, and the temperature control gives me a ridiculous amount of control over my food's preparation. The excess grease, when using the grill side of things, runs off into a collection troth that neatly hides and stores inside the grill between the two plates. When releasing the spring-loaded plates from the grill, the rest grease gets collected in the troth as well. It's great to pull out on a lazy Saturday morning or for a quick meal before going out. I'm thoroughly impressed. Nice Grill. Date: 2008-07-27 | Rating: 5 We bought this to replace a 10-year old Hamilton-Beach that died on us. It cooks evenly and well. We grilled sliced summer squash, and each piece browned the same, no matter whether it was: in the center or at the far edge. Steak seared nicely, and cooked well. It's not as hot as a gas or charcoal grill, but then the Cancer Society is warning people about cooking meat at too high a temperature. The best part is that the heating element is separate from the grill plates, and the plates fit nicely in the lower rack of our dish washer; that and the included scraping tool make clean-up a snap. Great Indoor Grill Date: 2009-02-02 | Rating: 5 I first bought a Cuisinart GR-4 Gridder .But the instructions were absoulutly horrible(and I am a lawyer and know the art of understanding the written word). Also thte thing was bulky and awkward with the hinged top. So I sent it back and bought the GR-55 Gridder combo. Glad I did and wonder why I did not own one of these much sooner. Instructions are very easy to understand, everything is intuitive in the operation, and it is very compact given the size of the cooking area. Grill plates are reversable so you can grill or griddle or any combination of the two. Heat is excellent and although I use it on top of our glass top stove,with the vent on low-I do not think I really need the vent. It is as close to smokless as I could hope for. Clean up is effortless . I have done skinless chicken, tenderloin steaks grilled cheese sandwiches, vegtables , shrimp and scallops and everything has turned out perfect. I would highly recommend this model Cuisinart indoor grill and in fact am thinking of getting one for my son. Only thing I would caution about is that heat up takes a few minuets longer than I am used to on my outdoor grill and be sure to give it plenty of time to cool down before you try to remove the grill plates for cleaning. Ideal for small kitchen counters Date: 2009-02-01 | Rating: 5 I am a full timer with my motorhome. The griddler combo is great, as it repalced my grill and griddler allowing more counter space. Recommend for RV's, boats and small apartments, great looking with no skid bottom. Perfect for pancakes AND grilled salmon. Date: 2008-10-03 | Rating: 5 I haven't had an electric griddle for years. However, we were having trouble getting the temperature regulated so that blueberry pancakes would turn out consistently cooked through at high elevations. I ordered this and it worked perfectly for pancakes. I also set it out on a porch and cooked salmon one night on the ridged side. the salmon was also perfect.
