For years I thought having a machine devoted to making "fancy" grilled cheese sandwiches was ridiculous. That is, until I got one and have become OBSESSED with it! My family surprised me with this Cuisinart GR-4N 5-in-1 Griddler for my birthday last year. To be fair, this isn't JUST a panini press. It comes with reversible cook plates. One side is a grill texture to give you those wonderful grill marks, and the other side is a flat griddle for cooking eggs, pancakes, hash browns, or anything you might cook in a pan.
I have been very impressed with the evenness of the cooking and the ease of clean-up. The non-stick plates are very easy to wash, and it comes with a scraping tool that fits in between the grill lines to scrape out any melted cheese that may have escaped from a cooking panini. There is a drip tray below to catch any excess grease.
As an added bonus, you can order waffle plates separately that fit perfectly into this machine. Again, I have been impressed with the finished waffels in terms of their even color and texture. It makes it so easy to enjoy a breakfast treat of fresh waffles. So I guess this isn't just a machine for fancy grilled cheese sandwiches. It does so much more and has become a kitchen essential in my home!
I purchased this unit on my own and was not compensated for this post. The opinions expressed are completely my own.
