Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart GR-1 Griddler Panini and Sandwich Press
Customer Review: Wonderful Bistro Style
Summary: 5 Stars
This thing is wonderful... the kids favorite is peanut butter and honey. I love a nice basil,tomato,provalone and olive oil panini. The things you can make are really endless.. some of the things we have tried are BLT, Tuna, plain ol ham and cheese is actually a meal in this thing, it also makes great crustini to go along with a salad. It is great for a fast light summer supper. But I can't wait to have a nice grilled cheese with some tomato soup in the winter. I have even grilled up portabella sandwiches (for a low carb dieter)that came out wonderful.It is small enough to put away (but pretty enough not to have to)when it isn't in use. And so simple to use that my 11 year old son can break it out and use it.Customer Review: Alotta Bang For Your Buck

Makes any sandwhich, hero, wrap or bagel amazing. Much better than using a toaster. Sandwhiches really come out just like how they look in the picture. Only takes 5 minutes to pre heat machine (I usually just plug it in right before I make my sandwhich.) I bought one for my mom for her birthday and my entire family uses it(i hit 2 birds with one stone). You will never make a regular sandwhich again without using this machine. You dont have to go to a Panni place and waste money ever again. Everything tastes better hot,especially a cold cut sandwhich with melted cheese. I recommend this product to all of my friends. Makes a great gift, especially if the person you are giving it to lives in your home.Customer Review: Great Grill
Summary: 5 Stars
This panini grill has seen heavy use since I bought it about 2 months ago. I never used a panini grill before, but this grill couldn't be any easier to use. Yes, it does take up space, but its worth it. My family are all grilled cheese sandwich fans. The paninis coming out of this grill are unlike anything we ever produced on our stove with a built in griddle or from a skillet. I think the main difference is the crispness. I have even taken to grilling cheese alone on the grill, absolutely delicious- which brings me to the downside.....weight gain. Perhaps keeping the grill off the counter would slow down grill usage. If you're looking to purchase a grill, we've had no complaints with this one.Customer Review: GR-1 griddle works only on top side
Summary: 3 Stars
We purchased Cuisinart GR-1 Griddler Panini and Sandwich Press and made two paninis. Unfortunately, they didn't turn out as we had hoped: only the top side was well toasted with nice golden brown stripes. The bottom side's stripes were pale, not even pale gold, so we had to flip them over and cook more which made some parts of the toast a bit too dry. We tried again later on giving more time for heating to see if we had not let the machine heat up enough at first time, but we got the same result.
If the panini maker cost $18-20, we would probably ignore the problem and keep flipping the paninis, but for $49.99 I would rather have one that works properly. So we are returning it.
Customer Review: I now toast everything I eat...
Summary: 5 Stars
Beware, buyers of this sandwich press! Satan himself must have magicked this panini and sandwich press into existence, as it is so tempting and addicting. My girlfriend has a hard time getting me to make meals that aren't toasted in this machine of sinful delight. Sandwiches? Pressed. Bagels? Pressed. Pop tarts? Pressed. I'm pretty sure I could make a three course meal in this sucker... So, if you want meals that are delicately toasted and melty with cheese, that dance on your tongue in euphoria, buy this panini press. But, if you're happy with non-toasted meals that are just *meh*, put away that credit card. Your mouth may hate you for the rest of your life though...
