Why we recommend it

The Cuisinart Griddler FIVE is the indoor grill for people who actually cook a variety of things. If you want grill marks on Monday and pancakes on Sunday, this is the only machine you need.

It also converts to a griddle (we cooked eight pancakes at once!), you can buy waffle plates for an addition cooking capability or you can press paninis between the two plates.
