the Griddler® COMPACT does it all

The Griddler® Compact is the ultimate kitchen appliance, offering you five separate cooking options.. Simply flip the reversible cooking plates and adjust the hinge to use as a Contact Grill, Panini Press, Full Grill, Full Griddle, or Half Grill/Half Griddle.. See Assembly Instructions and Operating Instructions (pages 5–7)..

Contact Grill

Use the Griddler® Compact as a Contact Grill to cook burgers, boneless pieces of meat and thin cuts of meat and vegetables..

The Contact Grill function works best when you want to cook something in a short amount of time or when you are looking for a healthy method of grilling.. When cooked on the Contact Grill, food will cook quickly because you are grilling both sides of the food at the same time.. The ribs on the grill plates combined with the grease spout at the rear of the plate allow the grease to drip from the meat and drain off the plates..

When the Griddler® Compact is used as a Contact Grill, the grill side of the plates is recommended..

Rest the cover on top of the food until it has reached the desired cooked temperature..
