If you have been looking for an electric griddle or a countertop grill then you should definitely consider purchasing the Cuisinart GR-4N griddler. This specific design of the Cuisinart brand is actually the improved model of the GR-4 version that was very useful and impressive by itself.
Despite the fact that the Cuisinart griddler is not as cheap as other electric griddles that you can find the market, the unit still achieved a lot of attention and success. There are a couple of reasons that account for the high popularity of this product.
The first would be a handy feature that almost any person who cooks on an electric griddle would appreciate: the ability to remove the cooking plates for easy cleaning.
Those who already have experience with the older George Foreman electric grills would know that the plates were fixed to the unit and therefore it wasn't very easy to clean (and this is despite the fact that the older models did actually sear the food properly - many people find it important that their electrical appliance would be easy to maintain).
With the Cuisinart GR-4N 5-in-1 griddler, you can simply dispatch the plates once you're done cooking, and place them in the sink or in the dishwasher (the cooking plates of this Cuisinart griddler are also dishwasher safe). Moreover, the electric griddle also comes with a nonstick coating that will prevent most foods from sticking to its surface.
Another unique feature of the Cuisinart electric griddle is its impressive multi-functionality. This kitchen appliance is definitely one of the more versatile countertop units that you can probably find (although there are other versatile models in the market, their numbers are not many) - you can use the Cuisinart griddler GR 4N as a flat electric griddle, a full grill, Panini maker, half griddle/grill and a contact grill as well.
You can achieve this versatility thanks to the reversible cooking plates. One side of the nonstick plates is flat and the other side is ridged. By flipping the cooking plates of the Cuisinart GR-4N 5-in-1 griddler you can create various combinations that would allow you to cook a wider range of foods more easily. In addition, this electric griddle can either be opened flat or used in the contact form (similar to the style of the George Foreman countertop grills), thus enabling the versatility that made the Cuisinart griddler GR-4N so unique.
Furthermore, this countertop product comes with an integrated drip tray that will drain the unhealthy fat that really should be separated from the food and meals that you intend to eat. A cleaning tool and instruction manual with gourmet recipes are also included with the Cuisinart electric griddle.
