Cuisinart Grills Contact Griddler® with Smoke-Less Mode

I had a previous model of the Cuisinart Griddler and loved it. Unfortunately, it went through couple of moves and ended up not working. I purchased the above model and it is WONDERFUL!!! It is relatively smoke-less (I live in an apartment with super sensitive smoke detectors) and seems to work well. I look forward to using for years to come!

I bought this grill to replace an old Cuisinart grill I bought back in 2009 because Cuisinart makes an excellent grill. I like this grill as much as the other one. I did find that the directions could be a little clearer on a couple of things. I was able to figure things out without much problem. The grill works great. I like the fact that you can select the type of meat you are cooking and that there is a timer right on the grill.

This is my 2nd Cuisinart griddler. My 1st one was well used over 15+ years. The new model is just as easy to use and the griddle plates are easier to clean.

Better than my previous griddler. Digital settings take time to get used to, but the non stick plates are better than previous models plus it lets you know when it reach's the desired temperature.

Takes some getting used to, only thing I'd change is the upper/ lower plate seems to be backwards to me. Lower plate on the top and upper on rhe bottom? Smoke-free settings didn't work for porkchops I use, it would have been easier to eat my tennis shoes than the porkchops that I threw away. Shortest time recommended that I found was 4 minutes minimum and that was way to much. Waffles, French toast and pancakes all were fine. The results I experienced with porkchops makes me use grill settings from now on, hamburgers do good as well, it's easier to select a lower temp and cook a little longer than use higher and risk being overdone. I also keep the insaread probe thermometer handy ot get doneness on the money

I love Cuisinart products. I've only used the Grill once so far, it takes a bit of getting use to. My first batch of panckes was ok (the batter was perfect) just trying to figure out the temp and all the good stuff. Once I get it down pact I'm good!!

We've only used this twice, but so far, it works very well and is super easy to clean. Took off one star because using the buttons to navigate settings is not as clear and easy as one would like, but I'm sure we'll get used to it.

I feel instructions are a little difficult to understand for the smokeless choice. I had to read several times and read again.

I don't like the panel, example symbol for confirmation, and the small screen!! Make the design simple and the screen more visible, less overlapping of commands!!

I am having problems setting the temperature the directions are not clear. I usually grill with both burners and can turn them on at 350degrees. After that I cannot make the temperature change. I really like the pads. On both sides they clean well and are non stick. `
