- Electric Griddle

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.

- 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. Less suited to buyers who mainly want a dedicated waffle iron, since reviewers rate the waffle plates as the weaker of the five functions.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners describe it replacing several separate kitchen gadgets and praise how easily the plates wipe or rinse clean, plus the adjustable floating top for grilling unevenly thick food. Cuisinart's warranty came through for at least one buyer whose heating elements failed after a year of use. The most common complaints are a top surface that gets very hot, a footprint too large for some cabinets, and waffle results that a few owners rate weaker than their previous waffle iron.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 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
- 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. At 1200 watts the unit heats reliably for searing and pressing, but reviewers who owned a 1500-watt griddler beforehand noticed slower or less crisp waffle results.
