Taking Indoor Grilling to the Next Level
Toronto, ON — Indoor grilling is becoming a staple cooking technique in many households, with consumer demand for top-performance kitchen appliances greater than ever. Cuisinart has launched two new Griddler™ indoor grilling appliances that give home cooks the flexibility to grill in smaller living areas as well as larger homes. The products are designed with the signature trademarks of Cuisinart’s Griddler™ product – yet with new convenience features.
The new products are: the Griddler™ Combo Grill & Griddle (model no. CGR-55C), that can be used as a full grill, full griddle or a combination of the two, and the Griddler™ Overstuffed Sandwich Maker (model no. CGR-SMC), designed for creating thick, overstuffed gourmet sandwiches.
What to Look for When Purchasing an Indoor Grill:
Versatility:
The Griddler™ Combo Grill & Griddle offers home cooks the flexibility to create everything from pancakes and eggs to burgers and fish fillets. It is designed with reversible, nonstick grill and griddle plates that can be easily removed or can be converted from a grill to a griddle simply by switching the cooking plates to the smooth-sided surface. When using the product for grilling, the specially designed grill plate channels fats and juices away from the food to help consumers achieve nutritional goals.
The Griddler™ Combo Grill & Griddle also features two temperature dials for low and high settings and indicator lights that show when the unit’s power is on, and when the desired cooking temperature has been reached. Other core benefits include a removable centre drip tray to collect grease and a cleaning tool. The drip tray, cleaning tool and cooking plates are dishwasher-safe.
Convenience:
Cuisinart’s Overstuffed Sandwich Maker is designed with the culinary enthusiast in mind. Whether preparing sandwiches for a festive occasion or a new twist on a traditional favorite, the unit gives consumers a host of creative options. The Sandwich Maker has extra-large plates with extra-deep pockets to accommodate thick, overstuffed gourmet sandwiches. It is also designed with a heavy-duty handle for maximum durability and nonstick sandwich plates that can be easily removed with a push-button control. Other benefits include Ready to Bake and Ready to Eat indicator lights and variable temperature control for low, medium and high settings.
