There are some buyers that mention that it is easy to clean. One complaint was about the heating element being placed in the plates and he thought that was the reason his grilled sandwich was a little burned at those spots. The dials are simple controls with lights that let you know they’re in use, but it cooks efficiently despite the lack of frills. On the other hand, the Cuisinart Deluxe will cost you almost $130, but you won’t get the cool display nor the timer. However, if you’re not too keen on having this, then you will do just fine with this model, and manage to save some money. Overall I can recommend this Cuisinart GR-300WS Griddler elite grill with its stainless steel as a good buy.
We feel we’d be doing a disservice if we didn’t mention the Griddler’s big brother, the Griddler Elite. The Elite has the same features as the basic version we reviewed, but with a few extras that we found appealing. If you want to find the stylish popular kitchen item.

It has a larger grilling surface and dual zone temperature control, so you can cook two different types of foods at two different temperatures. The heating elements in the Elite are inside the plates for more efficient heating, and the temperature of the grill plates can be controlled independently. But the one extra we found most interesting was the ability to set the lid above the surface of the food, so you can heat without contact. While that might not be something you’d need every day, it would be great for cooking open-faced sandwiches or reheating pizza slices. At twice the price of the standard Griddler, the Elite is more of an investment, so it’s only worthwhile if those extra features are must-haves.
Even when we were using the griddle plates on both sides, having separate cooking surfaces gave us the option to cook with butter on one plate and oil on the other. Likewise, we could use different sauces on each side without the flavors mingling. I was purchased Cuisinart Griddler deluxe and Cuisinart Elite to meet my large amount of cooking requirements. When I unboxed both Griddler first, I did not see any significant difference with another, but I noticed their body construction is pretty much related. Cuisinart deluxe GR 150 has buttons and knobs with temp control on the frontal side. On the other hand, Cuisinart elite GR-300WSP1 has a digital display with some buttons and knobs for temperature control.
It does all that and more and is very easy to clean when cooking is done. Not only is it cheaper, but you also don’t need the LCD display if we’re real. Plus, you will know when the meal is ready without the need for a timer to tell you that. You will already have a great griddle without these two features. Therefore, the winner of this battle is the Deluxe model.
The bottom side tended to cook at a higher temperature than the top, but it was easy enough to flip foods over. When using it as a contact grill, it gave us good grill marks and did a fine job with steaks, burgers, and more. We appreciated the ease of using the Griddler, as well as the simple cleaning of the grill plates in the cuisinart pots and pans set dishwasher. Cuisinart Griddler deluxe GR-150 and Elite Griddler 300WSP1 look like a couple and the same family Cuisinart grinder, but the two are so familiar with each other. But our finding one has digital display and timer; another is analog display and timer. Now we are reviewing your common difference with one another.
We had to remind ourselves to double-check the drip tray before storing the appliance. Suppose you like to digital display with heating temperature control knobs. In that case, I highly recommend Cuisinart Griddler Elite, but you dislike digital display.
