Our verdict

A genuinely multi-use griddler with removable, easy-clean plates and a floating cover that handles uneven food well; expect the waffle function to be good rather than the star of the show.

Overview

Cuisinart's GR-4N griddler bundle packs five cooking modes, contact grill, panini press, full grill, full griddle and waffles, into one appliance by including the extra waffle plates. Brushed stainless steel housing with a panini-style handle and a floating hinge that tilts to match food thickness.

The bundle pairs the GR-4N griddler with the GR-WAFP waffle plate accessory sold together, so buyers get the swappable plate system without ordering the waffle attachment separately. It runs at 1200 watts, a step down from some older Cuisinart griddlers, and a few owners who previously had a higher-wattage unit noticed the waffle side turns out less crisp as a result.

  • GR-WAFP waffle plates included in this bundle
  • Brushed stainless steel housing
  • Floating hinge cover for uneven food
  • Nonstick, removable cooking plates

Who it's for

Suits anyone replacing several single-purpose countertop tools, a panini press, grill and waffle iron, with one unit, provided there's counter or cabinet space for a fairly large griddler.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Five functions from one countertop footprint
  • Removable nonstick plates rinse clean in minutes
  • Floating top adjusts to food thickness automatically
  • Cuisinart honored the 3-year warranty on failure
Cons
  • Large footprint, hard to store in a cabinet
  • Top surface gets very hot during use
  • Waffle plates underperform dedicated waffle irons
  • 1200W is lower than some prior-generation Cuisinart griddlers

Performance notes

The floating cover is the functional core of the design, letting the top plate rest flat on unevenly thick food, like chicken breasts or stuffed sandwiches, instead of grilling at an angle. Nonstick plates pop out for cleaning, and an oil catcher at the back handles runoff so the cooking surface stays low maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Cuisinart GR-4N come with waffle plates included?

Yes, this bundle pairs the GR-4N griddler with the GR-WAFP waffle plate attachment, so both grill and waffle plates ship together.

Is the Cuisinart GR-4N good for making waffles?

It works, but a few owners who previously had a higher-wattage dedicated waffle iron found this one's waffle results softer.
