the temperature data in the specification are not right! When the grill is used as oven (top and bottom), no longer agree ° C information. The label on the Drehknäufen Temps then of course no longer! The oven function has taken the 250 ° C "only" 210 ° C and then adjusts to 180 ° C down (until it heats up again to 210 ° C), although 250 ° C has been set in the "M" (manual) position! Pressing then the Booster button (either upper or lower Booster button), then it also does not change more. I thought that would be a mistake, a defect on the device, but was so confirmed to me by Cuisinart. Only when the Griddler is opened COMPLETE, the 250 ° C come about! I've checked by thermometer, that is true indeed! Chicken breast lasts for example, when frozen and is about 3-4cm thick, about 15 min. At medium oven level. On the top level oven (210 ° C) would Hähnchenober- and bottom already burned. 250 ° C so I need not (and does not lead to points devaluation, everyone must decide for themselves, what is important to him since).
If we let the way off the upper grill plate, the temperature far exceeds the 250 ° C, which can be controlled not then. When Hawaii toast I had just measured just once 400 ° C at the heater. For so baked again ideal!
For device still fast:
The device is very high quality. Just as I was looking for a BBQ for years, but found only the cheap Tefal and Bartscher contact grills, the -for me were uninteresting personalities in their capacity poverty and care function. The wait -and money sparen- was really worth it. Finally you can also control the upper and lower plates separately! The removable oil drip tray is behind the Griddler, easily hidden, and not like at Tefal, unappetizing front visible.
The quality is excellent, probably hard to beat. Cleaning goes thanks coating wonderfully fast! Cast iron was there much more problematic and laborious. Super also that there still came with a flat, nichtgerillte plate. You can see the plates by the way thanks to a button lock very quickly and firmly attach the device arbitrarily.
The wafer sheets come yet, but lasts well for Germany even in little.
It is the set even when a scraper, but which I never use. I take a soft sponge and running water, which is enough already. The plates are fantastically fast clean.
The plates get very hot, in 5 - 8 minutes you go there already.
The upper grill lid can be firmly locked, by means of clamping closure or let commute center free. Through the free swinging of the upper part, at the height adjustment (by large sliding plastic knob) is always kept floating above the food to be grilled.
Yours sincerely.
