We use it all the time and bought the waffle plates for it. I do not think it's hard to clean, it comes with a little scraper that gets between the "ridges" on the grill side of the plates AND the plates are dishwasher safe. </p> <p>we do grilled cheese, burgers, brats, pancakes (it lays out flat and can fit ~8 pancakes using both sides), waffles, bacon, eggs, chicken breast... really anything you would cook on the stove/grill and it uses a lot less energy/heat which is nice in the summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-cuisinart-griddler#post-1852728 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 06:08:32 +0000 looch 1852728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh wow, for $65, I wouldn't have given it a second thought. I paid around $100 for it, plus the waffle plates, for another $20 or so.</p> <p>I love mine, I just wish I had a nicer way to store it on the counter, then it would get used a lot more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-cuisinart-griddler#post-1852655 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 23:22:36 +0000 sunny 1852655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: Dang we paid over $100 when we got it a few years ago! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-cuisinart-griddler#post-1852575 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 21:09:55 +0000 StbHisMrs 1852575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just FYI for anyone who is thinking about getting this, it's $65 at Costco :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-cuisinart-griddler#post-1852564 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 20:55:11 +0000 NCSUchick27 1852564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it is that hard to clean. I usually wipe my plates down with a wet paper towel while they are still hot to get anything sticky off, and just wash them with dish soap when they are cool. I have never had an issue cleaning it this way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-cuisinart-griddler#post-1852489 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 19:13:24 +0000 hellobeeboston 1852489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg I totally forgot that we have this,.. I used to use it all the time. But yeah, it's kind of a pain to clean. Oh, ours didn't have waffle plates - bummer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-cuisinart-griddler#post-1852485 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 19:09:22 +0000 LindsayInNY 1852485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one but it's a b*tch to clean!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-cuisinart-griddler#post-1852359 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 13:38:18 +0000 StbHisMrs 1852359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks!! That seals the deal, I'm getting one with waffle plates! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-cuisinart-griddler#post-1852354 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 13:32:34 +0000 NCSUchick27 1852354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We received on as a wedding gift a couple of years ago, and I use it at least once a week. I use it to cook panini's, pancakes, waffles, bacon, sausage, hot dogs, and chicken breast. We don't have any area to grill outside so it gets a lot of use. </p> <p>The waffle plates work great! I would definitely recommend them. I love that I can have a waffle iron without having a whole separate appliance taking up space in my kitchen </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-cuisinart-griddler#post-1852351 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 13:27:16 +0000 sunny 1852351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one and mostly use it for paninis. We used to grill chicken and burgers on it but we got a cast iron pan to do that instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-cuisinart-griddler#post-1852348 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 13:20:57 +0000 Marfi 1852348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one but we don't have the waffle plates for it. My husband uses it all the time when he doesn't feel like grilling outside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-cuisinart-griddler#post-1852343 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 13:16:17 +0000 mrs. 64 1852343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use ours all the time! I mostly use it for paninis, but also for bacon and burgers occasionally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-cuisinart-griddler#post-1852340 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 13:11:53 +0000 808love 1852340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got one for Christmas a few years ago. We rarely used it and gave it away a few weeks ago. I wished we used it more and kept it but I felt bad just storing it on the top shelf most of the year. I think it's best for paninis and extra quick cooking when guests come over for breakfast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-cuisinart-griddler#post-1852332 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 13:00:57 +0000 Weagle 1852332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one and use it more than I expected. We use it for paninis, pancakes, and bacon mostly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-cuisinart-griddler#post-1852327 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 12:55:44 +0000 Emsmems 1852327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one and love it! Got it when we lived in a tiny apartment and didn't want separate appliances. We do have a separate waffle iron now but hardly use it (I had no idea they had waffle plates for it!!!). Used it for paninis and burgers a lot when we lived in that apartment and now use it for pancakes a lot. I don't think it's that hard to clean, the plates can be put in the dishwasher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-cuisinart-griddler#post-1852322 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 12:46:39 +0000 auggiefrog 1852322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one. We bought it because it did a lot of functions, not just one or the other. We use it for burgers, sandwiches, and occasionally pancakes. I really like it. The plates and grease trap come off easily for cleaning, and I usually just have to wipe off the rest of the machine. I've never used it for a waffle maker, but I did see that you could buy waffle iron plates for it. It's gotten a lot of use in this house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-cuisinart-griddler#post-1852316 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 12:33:11 +0000 Jess1483 1852316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: I have one. We mostly use it for paninis/sandwiches and occasionally as a griddle. It's relatively easy to use. A bit hard to clean, but not awful. When I was in a studio apartment, I used it for burgers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-cuisinart-griddler#post-1852315 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 12:30:06 +0000 StbHisMrs 1852315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm intrigued with all the things you can do with this one appliance, I don't have enough room to store a griddle, a waffle maker, sandwich press, etc.</p> <p>I was looking for a new waffle maker when I stumbled across this - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002YD99Y4?pc_redir=1410062551&#038;robot_redir=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002YD99Y4?pc_redir=1410062551&#038;robot_redir=1</a> </p>
