Cuisinart GR-4 Griddler Reviews
We have had good luck with Cuisinart products over the years, so we decided to try this one, mostly based on the large number of favorable reviews here at Amazon. Clean-up is a dream. This Cuisinart GR-4 Griddler has an excellent non-stick surface, and even burned-on food comes right off with minimal effort. After reading the critique about the grease spattering all over, I tried a small experiment. I cooked salmon filets, marinated with lemon juice, dillweed and olive oil. No problem. I cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, also marinated with olive oil. No problem. So then I brought in the Big Guns – skin-on bone-in chicken thighs, marinated and cooked the same way as the breasts. Cuisinart GR-4 Griddler did make a mess. I cooked all of the above on High, however. The problem came from the fat in the skin, and the thickness of the meat – the lid sits farther open, so more splatters can escape. How to solve the problem? Put a couple of paper towels on the counter, and cook the meat at Medium. Just with any kitchen tool, there is an effective way to use Cuisinart GR-4 Griddler, and a dumb way to use Cuisinart GR-4 Griddler. A little common sense goes a long way. I am extremely happy with this Cuisinart GR-4 Griddler.
