Ethel Mertz Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Does this exist? I'm looking for a panini press with ceramic plates, that also has removable plates (to go in the dishwasher). I've searched on Amazon and I can't find a press with ceramic plates that are also removable. PSA: When using your press or a sandwich maker, make sure that there isn't a cord from your crock pot or other appliance to get enclosed accidentally. I'm also in the market for a new crock pot.

clementine Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Oster has one, but since the reviews weren't that great we went with the Cuisinart Griddler. Not ceramic plates and more spendy, but very well-made & versatile. My crockpot is probably one of the cheapest better ones out there. It is the earlier version of this & I highly recommend it! http://www.amazon.com/Crock-Pot-SCCPVL610-S-Programmable-Carry-Cooker/dp/B004P2NG0K/ref=sr_1_2?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1449257735&sr=1-2&keywords=rival+crock+pot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharonM Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 We have the Cuisinart Griddler. We use it a lot! Love it, but no ceramic plates. I don't remember seeing any like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knoxinsox Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 We have the Cuisinart Griddler. It was on my wish list for a long time, and found a new one at a yard sale for $15. We use it almost everyday. I like that the plates are removable. Decluttered the big griddle, and will declutter the waffle iron if I can find the waffle plates cheap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I have one I really like and it has lasted for years, but nothing is removable. I hear if you want that you want the Cuisinart. And I am sorry to hear about the loss of your crock pot. To find that you had killed your crock pot with your panini press must have been very traumatic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Another long time Cuisinart Griddler user here. We use it for a lot more than panini- it's a versatile gadget! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Please explain to me why i didn't buy the Griddler when it was at BJ's this summer for $55. I hesitated for a few weeks...then they were all gone. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathnerd Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Does this exist? I'm looking for a panini press with ceramic plates, that also has removable plates (to go in the dishwasher). I've searched on Amazon and I can't find a press with ceramic plates that are also removable. I was not even aware that there are ceramic plates for panini presses - so, does this mean that the "non-stick ceramic coating" is unlike PTFE? I don't use nonstick cookware, so, I can consider purchasing this one. I did a quick google search and Oster seems to have several with Duraceramic coating, but nor removable plates.

As far as I can tell, the duraceramic coating is much better and doesn't have all those nasty things that we're supposed to avoid in other non-stick coatings. I saw the Oster ones at Amazon and they don't have the removable plates, but I suppose I can live with that. But I'm also off now to check out the cuisinart griddler mentioned upthread!

I think we all should take a moment to say goodbye to Ethel's crockpot and sandwich maker.I'm picturing something in slo-mo, with music (mostly strings) ala the Talkng Dead, where they say goodbye to everyone who died in the episode. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbel Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 OK, I had been thinking "no more kitchen gadgets" but this talk of Cuisinart Griddlers has me intrigued. I looked at Amazon and there are several models. Any comments on which is better? I always want to go cheapest but can be talked out of it.
