Also, since the opening spacer is only on one side, and the hinges are loose, the top sits lopsided on top of a sandwich so cooks unevenly. It has performed very well and is easy to keep clean.
This versatile Cuisinart product also makes omelets and French toast! Designed to grill two items at a time, it is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or light dinners. Dual indicator lights ensure nothing over- or under-cooks, and nonstick cuisinart soup maker plates eliminate the need for added butter or oil. A lock-down lid guarantees both sides cook evenly, and raised ridges on plates seal in ingredients. When the work is done, the lid lock and cord wrap make storage easy.

The size when it is opened is more of a problem when you place it on a standard kitchen countertop with kitchen cabinets above it. The height of cuisinart pots and pans set the unit makes it hard to fully open it. Due to shipping weight restrictions, this item cannot be shipped to a PO Box. It has a Griddle function that works perfectly for bacon, seared scallops, as well as eggs, and pancakes.
When you open the unit, it will extend to a length of 23.5 inches. The Cuisinart also features a drip tray that slides into the base at the back of the machine.

Therefore, the winner of this battle is the Deluxe model. The model with a bit more features, the Cuisinart Elite, is also more expensive. There is a reason for having to pay $200.
Both models come with buttons and knobs for controls, but the cuisinart soup maker has an LCD display and indicator lights. The display shows the plates’ temperature and the time left for the program you selected. What’s great about these griddles is that they have the option for you to adjust the temperature of the cooking surface. As many know, this is important to avoid burning your food. Plus, you can choose different temperatures for each surface.
