The Cuisinart GR-6S Contact Griddler features a specialized "Smoke-less" mode that utilizes an integrated fan to help reduce kitchen odors and vapors. It offers independent temperature controls for the upper and lower plates, which is a rare feature in this class of appliance. The unit includes an LCD interface for precise adjustments and is built with a brushed stainless steel housing for a professional look.
The heating system uses 1500-watt embedded elements for fast thermal recovery. The plates are finished with a ceramic-infused non-stick coating designed to handle higher temperatures for searing. To keep the smoke-less feature working at peak efficiency, the fan ducting and drip tray should be deep-cleaned after every few uses to prevent grease from accumulating.
Specifications indicate the plates and drip tray are removable for cleaning. The spring-assisted hinge is rated for high-frequency use and helps the unit open and close smoothly. The 36-inch power cord provides standard reach for countertop use. Placing the unit on a level surface is important to ensure the integrated drip tray catches fats correctly.
If you prefer a model with a cyclonic air system that also air fries and dehydrates, the Ninja Foodi 5-in-1 is an excellent multifunctional choice.
