Cuisinart GR-4 Griddler

A floating hinge and two sets of cooking plates turn this multifunctional unit into a contact grill, panini press, large open grill, or griddle. Made of brushed stainless steel, this four-in-one, space-saving appliance offers cooking options that range from pancakes, sausages, and grilled cheese to fish, hamburgers, and panini. Its floating hinge adjusts to the thickness of food, while adjustable temperature controls ensure food is cooked properly. The unit features a sturdy panini-style handle and convenient indicator lights, as well as nonstick grill and griddle plates that are removable, dishwasher-safe, and designed to drain grease away from food for healthier cooking. Two dishwasher-safe drip cups to collect grease are included, plus a dishwasher-safe scraping tool for easy cleanup. The unit measures 13 by 11-1/4 by 6-1/2 inches and carries a limited three-year warranty. --Catie Unger

Customer Review:

Great griller and griddle!

This worked so well for us that I got one for my Mom and Dad. It is the best griddle I've ever used for pancakes. The grill works well, though as it is not tilted, not as much grease runs off. Even with this it does a great job on steaks, pork chops, chicken and fish. The ease of cleaning more than makes up for the lack of the tilt.

cuisinart Gr -4 Griddler

Just used my new griddler along side my Delonghi open indoor grill to grill several lbs of chicken breasts. I found that the griddler did not have the high heat of the delonghi and that if I closed the top to do both sides atonce it dried out the chicken. I did not try out the griddle side nor did I do a panini, which iI think might work OK. It did clean up quite quickly BUT... The plastic composite handle cracked where it screws into the metal arm lift.

Griddler is Supreme!

Great Product, Fantastic Quality and Beautiful Results! Don't settle for similar items, this versatile product does it all and does it with style and accuracy! Looks wonderful on the counter and the versatile open or closed design makes cooking for a crowd a breeze!

Senseo HD7810/65 Single Serve Coffee Machine, Black

Uniquely designed with similarities to an espresso machine, this coffee maker features a 1450-watt boiler that brews a 4-ounce cup of coffee in just thirty seconds, or two 4-ounce cups or one 8-ounce mug in 60 seconds. Because the machine uses pre-measured coffee pods, the system is hassle-free, easy to clean, and guarantees a flavorful, fresh brew each time.

Measuring 13-1/2 by 12 by 8-1/2 inches, the coffee maker is shaped like a curved cylinder with a round base. Two pod holders are included: a shallow holder that holds one coffee pod for one cup, and a deeper filter that holds two pods for two cups (or one 8-ounce mug). After filling the removable reservoir with fresh water to the ‘max’ line, the pods are inserted and the lid locked into place. A simple push of the on/off button and either of the one or two cup buttons starts the brewing process. Up to five 4-ounce cups can be brewed on one reservoir of water. Cups are not included, but almost any 4-ounce cup or 8-ounce mug will do the trick. All the removable parts--the pod holders, reservoir, coffee spout, plastic drip tray, and metal cup tray--are dishwasher-safe. A variety of coffee pods are available separately. This coffee machine is unusable at altitudes over 6800 feet. The Senseo coffee maker is covered by a two-year warranty against defects and measures 13-1/2 by 12 by 8-1/2 inches. --Ann Bieri

Customer Review:

Undoubtedly, the WORST product I've ever owned

This is a piece of junk. I can't believe I'm out $50. Not only does it make terrible tasting, overly dark, bitter coffee- today the lid became vacuum-sealed to the top, and couldn't even be pried open with a knife.

I placed it in a garbage bag and smashed it with my foot into hundreds of pieces.

Any positive review you have read about this hunk of crap was undeoubtedly written by a Senseo employee.

The foam adds an interesting element to the coffee brew

The foam adds an interesting element to the coffee brew. While it may not be the elusive crema sought by some, it adds texture to the cup. Overall the Senseo is a very good single cup coffee machine. Combined with an excellent dark roast coffee it is very presentable.

'Bucks Junkie Approves

I am a Starbucks Coffee Junkie. Like other reviewers, I hesitated before making the jump to a single-serving pod coffee maker. I now report that the Senseo has replaced my Starbucks Barista drip coffee maker. The coffee is excellent (although more varieties would be appreciated) and the Senseo machine is high quality (much better than similar Black-and-Decker systems). For convenience sake, the Senseo pods are ideal: coffee is always fresh and hot. I have not experienced a problem with the unit at high elevations and am now completely addicted to my Senseo. After I purchased my first unit, I purchased another for work. (FYI: Amazon.com has the best prices on the actual coffee pods, especially with Prime.) Loooooove this machine.

Customer Review:

A great toy for my kid

I received it as a gift. My toddler loves it as a toy. Other than that, it wasn't much a use for a larger home. But I think this would be useful for apartments.

Roomba Red

Not only do we love our Roomba but we love iRobot. The customer service they provide if you have a problem is top-notch. They sent us a brand new Roomba Red when we called. We didn't even have to send the old Roomba back--just a small piece of it. I think anyone should buy a Roomba as opposed to a conventional vacuum.

Robot Roomba Review

This product is just wonderful!! I have a housekeeper but I can run this machine and it picks up more lint and pet hair on my tile. It is amazing to watch it go from room to room and continue to pick up pieces. My pets are all used to it now but when it first bumped into the dachund she barked at it. It was just so funny to see it did not hurt her just barely touched her.

Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 8-1/2-Quart Saucier with Lid

You just might find yourself using this versatile piece of cookware more than any other in your kitchen. Reducing sauces, braising meats, boiling pasta, browning chicken: this pot can do it all, on the stovetop or in the oven. This saucier has straight sides and a wide profile, and two sturdy double-riveted handles make it safer and easier to lift when full. (Don't forget that the cast stainless-steel handles remain cool on the stove, but heat right up in the oven.) Like all of the products in Calphalon's commercial hard-anodized series, it distributes heat efficiently, so foods brown quickly and cook uniformly. In fact, try cooking over a lower setting than you customarily use; Calphalon cookware conducts heat so well that it's easy to overdo the first few times around. Unlike cookware coated with a synthetic nonstick finish, the hard-anodized surface won't chip, crack, or peel if you use a metal spatula, and it doesn't react with acidic foods such as citrus or tomato. All of Calphalon's commercial hard-anodized cookware comes with a lifetime warranty, and if treated with care, it'll last as long as you do. Always wash this cookware by hand with mild cleansers, and don't place a hot pan in cold water--it could warp. --Mary Park

Customer Review:

great value

This is a very large pan diameter-wise. Cooks evenly and works well on ceramic cooktop. It cleans easily but is really not "non-stick". A terrific value for the money. All pros...no cons.

If you have room to store it, get it

This is a great pot, if you have the room. It's very big and takes up 2 burners on the stove..however, you can cook an entire package of lasagna noodles, nothing sticks or boils over, you can make enough spagetti for 6 teenagers, it's great for a 1 pot meal for up to 12 people. The heat distribution is even, it cleans up easily and is nice enough to put on the table. You can't really beat the Amazon price either.

LOVE IT !!!

I love it. I wasn't sure when I first ordered it but now that I have it I hate to use anything else. I am putting in more orders soon.
