I purchased this griddler for my husband. He's in charge of weekend pancake breakfasts and wanted a griddle. Little did I know that the Cuisinart Griddler was going to become a permanent fixture on my countertop. We use it for hot sandwiches, grilled cheese, to warm pizza, to make garlic bread, to warm or cook meat, AND to make pancakes. It's one of the most versitile appliances I've ever purchased and works so well that my husband wants to purchase one for several relatives. When we're short on time or just don't want to heat up the kitchen, the answer is our Cuisinart Griddler. It is so easy to use and clean up our 12 year old will ask if she can cook the meal when we decide on a griddler meal.
