Peachy Deegan is in LOVE with the Griddler! It is One of her Most Favorite Appliances!

Peachy cannot get enough of the Griddler!  She uses it almost every day because the sandwiches it makes are so perfect.  They are so good in fact, if she cuts them up in tiny triangles it looks like she is a caterer!  It heats up so fast and cleaning up is so easy as the trays snap out and you put them in the dishwasher.  You will love it too!

Our original coverage:
CUISINART IS BRINGING TO THE TABLE … Griddler® Grill Centro!  And we could not be more excited at Whom You Know.  This is the perfect thing for your Manhattan spring!  Very few of us here in our lovely island of Manhattan have back yards, and if you do we are not sure that with all of the crazy co-op and condo rules that you are allowed to have a grill.  Cuisinart has made the Griddler to solve this problem!  Great for the entire calendar year, The Griddler will provide you with endless options of creative culinary pursuits that will delight you alone or your most jaded dinner party guests.  Even if you think you go to the best Manhattan soirees complete with the best grilled food, making it yourself will give you such a sense of accomplishment, particularly when it is as fun as the Griddler!  Peachy prefers paninis, French toast, and grilled vegetables and it is particularly fabulous for steak.

Food for Thought: The Backyard Barbecue Moves Indoors: The summer barbecue is an American tradition that has always been dependent upon weather conditions. Now, however, Cuisinart is helping home cooks to reclaim the backyard barbecue on their own terms, with the introduction of the Cuisinart Griddler® Grill Centro (model no. GC-17).

Unlike other indoor grills, Cuisinart’s Centro allows consumers to grill or griddle food on its top tier while simultaneously cooking kebabs or hot dogs on its bottom tier. We love this efficiency at Whom You Know!  From hamburgers to grilled vegetables to toasted buns, the Griddler® Grill Centro allows home cooks to recreate the outdoor barbecue experience in the comfort of their own kitchens any time of year, no matter what the weather.

What to Look for When Purchasing an Indoor Grill:
 
Versatility:
The 1700-watt Griddler® Grill Centro features a nonstick die-cast top tier that easily converts from grill to griddle, enabling home cooks to prepare a virtually limitless variety of foods. The bottom tier is equipped with a ten-piece stainless steel skewer set for expertly prepared kebabs, and a ten-piece hot dog roller set for evenly cooked and tender hot dogs or sausages. Both the skewers and the rollers rotate automatically to ensure perfect results, every time.

“The newest addition to the Griddler® family of products, Cuisinart’s Griddler® Grill Centro is an extremely versatile and efficient piece of cooking equipment,” says Mary Rodgers, Director of Marketing Communications for Cuisinart. “The Centro’s adeptness at handling multiple cooking techniques allows consumers to quickly and easily prepare a wide variety of delicious foods, all at the same time.”

Convenience:
Who in Manhattan does not love convenience!  This is what we live for and we find it here in this fabulous Gotham Gadget: The Griddler!  For increased ease of use, the Centro is also equipped with two pull-out kebab drawers with handles; two kebab drip trays to collect grease from rotating kebabs; and a drip cup to collect grease from the grill/griddle. The Centro also has a temperature control dial with low, medium and high settings, a “power on” indicator light and a kebab motor control switch.
The base of the unit is elegant brushed stainless steel, and all removable parts (including the nonstick grill/griddle plate) are dishwasher-safe for simple and quick cleanup.   The cleaning is super easy and only takes minutes!
