So what’s not so great about the Cuisinart GR-4N 5-in-1 Griddler?
Consumers will be happy to know that there are not many complaints about the Cuisinart Griddler but it is important to know about any concerns that may arise which can usually be cleared up by knowing what your expectations are before you purchase and how the grill measures up.
Thermostat Settings: One of the qualms with the Cuisinart Griddler is that unit’s thermostat will automatically shut down once it has reached the preset temperature. The cooking will discontinue and the plates will cool down. Although this is supposed to be a safety mechanism, so that the food will not burn, it can become a nuisance. The proper temperatures for the specific food must be set to avoid this. There is also a difference in the cooking temperature between the full grill and the large griddle, that may result in some food being cooked at a slower rate.
Nonstick surface/Removable Plates: In some cases, the nonstick cooking plates will not allow one to do a through cleaning job. The lock clips that are included which hold the removable plates in place tend to grow weak over time and break. However, if the plates are not that tightly held down by the clips, this may not be an issue.
Is the Cuisinart GR-4N 5-in-1 Griddler a great purchase?
