Expert Reviews
What reviewers liked
Plenty of indoor grills out there don’t heat to high enough temperatures to safely cook red meats. That is not at all a problem for the Cuisinart. After letting your unit buildup heat, you can grill steaks in under five minutes, frozen burger patties in eight, and hot dogs in four. If you’re using the riveted plates, your meat will come out with black sears marks just like they would on a gas or charcoal grill. All you have to do is plug the griddler in, select the temperature, let the unit heat up, and begin cooking. No propane and no charcoal required, just clean and pure electricity.
Easy to handle and cook because it’s not as big as a full-size grill but gives you the benefits somewhat similar to what an outdoor grill can give on a small scale for home use for a nuclear family.
Garners praise for it's floating cover, which adjusts to adequately cook food of various thickness and ensures even heat distribution.
What reviewers didn't like
One of the greatest pleasures of traditional grills is lighting them up to cook burgers and dogs for a get together of friends and family. If you try to host a party with the Cuisinart as your centerpiece, you’re going to be laughed at. At the end of the day, the Cuisinart is a personal and family grill (as all indoor grills are), and not at all for entertaining. Perhaps you could cook some bacon on the Cuisinart as an addition to burgers, but don’t plan on cooking burgers and bacon on it.
Limited lifespan of nonstick layer because after some time it will start getting removed from the surface and its parts will also start degrading after some time.
A handful of consumers warn that excess grease and oil can drip onto the countertop if the lid isn't opened evenly.
