Overview

Small kitchens and apartment counters get a contact grill, panini press, grill and griddle in one compact Cuisinart unit. The plates close for pressing or open into separate grill and griddle surfaces, and the cooking surface lifts out.

Getting a panini press and a griddle from one small footprint saves cabinet space, and the removable surface helps cleanup. Cooking area is limited by the compact size, so feeding a crowd means several rounds.

Who it's for

Apartments and small kitchens with little cabinet room benefit most from a single unit that presses, grills and griddles. Households that cook big batches for a crowd will outgrow the compact plates.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Contact grill, panini press, grill and griddle in one
  • Removable cooking surface
  • Lead, PFAS and PFOA free materials
  • Stainless steel construction
Cons
  • Warranty terms not listed
  • Compact plates limit batch size
  • Only three settings, no stated temperatures
  • Heavy for a compact unit

Performance notes

Contact mode heats food from both plates at once, which shortens cooking for sandwiches and thin cuts. In open grill or griddle mode only one side gets heat, so food needs turning. With a small number of settings, doneness is managed mainly by time and food thickness.
