What can the Griddler Five do that a plain grill can't?

It converts between contact grill, panini press, full grill, full griddle, and half grill/half griddle by flipping the plates. That covers sandwiches, burgers, pancakes and eggs with one appliance.

How does the floating cover help?

The hinged cover rests on the food and adjusts to its thickness, so thick sandwiches and thin cuts both get even contact. It also lets you use the unit open as a full griddle.

Are the plates dishwasher-safe?

Yes. The reversible nonstick plates and the drip tray are removable and dishwasher-safe, and a scraping tool is included for cleanup.

What temperature range does it offer?

The digital controls set temperatures from 175°F to 450°F, and a sear function gives high heat for browning. The LCD shows the set temperature and a timer.

How big is the cooking surface?

The unit measures about 11 by 9 inches, so it suits a few burgers, a round of panini, or a small batch of pancakes at a time.

What comes in the box?

The Griddler Five, its reversible nonstick plates and drip tray, and a dishwasher-safe scraping tool. It carries a one-year limited warranty.
