Overview
Cuisinart's 5-in-1 Griddler combines a panini press, full grill, and full/half griddle in one countertop unit with reversible nonstick plates. Suits anyone wanting one appliance to cover grilled sandwiches, pancakes, and seared meat.
- Brushed stainless steel panini-style handle
- Integrated drip tray catches grease
- Adjustable temperature with red/green lights
- Scraping tool and recipes included
Who it's for
Good for households that grill sandwiches, pancakes, or chicken breasts regularly and want the plates to lift out for the dishwasher. Not the choice for anyone who wants a large-capacity grill for a crowd, since the cooking surface stays compact.
Pros and cons
- Reversible plates handle grill and flat griddle jobs
- Removable plates go straight in the dishwasher
- Floating hinge presses evenly on thick sandwiches
- No digital temperature display, just indicator lights
- Waffle plates are not included in this bundle
- Cooking surface is sized for a household, not a crowd
Performance notes
The removable nonstick plates reverse between grill ridges and flat griddle, and grease drains into a built-in tray rather than pooling on the cooking surface. The floating cover pivots on its hinge so it settles onto uneven food like a stuffed panini instead of only pressing the top layer. Indicator lights track when the plates reach set temperature, but there's no digital readout, so timing is by eye and experience.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Cuisinart 5 in 1 Griddler come with waffle plates?
No.
Can the plates go in the dishwasher?
Yes, the removable nonstick cooking plates are dishwasher safe, which several owners point to as the easiest part of cleanup.
Does the top plate press flat on thick sandwiches?
The cover floats on a hinge and tilts to match the food's thickness, so it presses panini and other stacked sandwiches evenly rather than sitting flat only on thin items.
