- What are the five cooking modes?
- It works as a closed grill, an open flat griddle, a panini press, a half grill and half griddle, and a griddle with the lid open for warming. The two plates reverse between grill and griddle.
- Can the plates go in the dishwasher?
- Yes. The reversible plates and the drip tray are removable and dishwasher safe. Hand washing the plates extends the life of the ceramic coating.
- How many burgers fit at once?
- Up to eight burgers on the flat-open surface. Closed as a grill, it fits about four.
- Does it need seasoning like cast iron?
- No. The plates have a ceramic nonstick coating, so no seasoning is needed. Use silicone or wooden utensils to avoid scratches.
- How does it compare with a contact grill like the George Foreman?
- The Griddler adds reversible griddle plates, flat-open cooking and adjustable temperature with SearBlast. Contact grills are smaller and simpler but less flexible.
- What is the temperature range?
- 175°F to 450°F, with a SearBlast setting for high heat. A display shows the selected temperature.
