Blue Diamond Ceramic Nonstick Electric Griddle - CC002858-002

Jessica Kim: I was hesitant to buy it with the mixed reviews, but they sell it at Costco, which means they stand behind the quality of it, so we gave it a shot. We've had it about a month now and have used it regularly.

It's a sturdy, cute little thing that does exactly what it needs to do without taking up a ton of space. We're so happy about it!

The negative reviews seem to be from people that don't use this as directed by the instruction manual.

Heating: it heats in about 6min to high, which is perfectly reasonable. It's quicker than a stovetop. If you let it heat all the way first, there are no problems getting your food cooked hot.

Plates & Cleaning: The plates aren't too heavy, but they do get a nice sear. I love that you can take them completely off for cleaning.

The non-stick coating is fantastic. I LOVE that it's not Teflon. I would not put these in the dishwasher, as other reviews have mentioned about the backs not being coated, but they're so easy to clean it's not necessary. Wash with soap and water then put them back on to dry.

Safety: They latch in and out with small hooks, using a button you have to hold down. You...

Amazon Customer: I got this to grill inside since this year has been either too hot, too rainy or too smoky outside. It came with grill plates, griddle plates and waffle plates! I've tried all 3 and they all work great. Cook evenly and well, easy to clean up by just wiping them down and then putting them in the dishwasher. The only thing that I would change would be to coat the back of the plates with something, because they are made of a metal that will rub off on your hands and leave some kind of black residue on them when you handle them. Not sure what it is, but it's kind of annoying. Otherwise, I'm still giving the product 5 stars for the way it cooked all the food I tried. Waffles came out perfectly, chicken grilled juicy and delicious and hamburgers griddled great!

Carol S: I love the slick look. Parts are easy to swap out and clean.
I am not pleased with the overall heat of it. After heating up as instructed it still takes forever to cook anything. I have tried eggs, pancakes and sausage and burgers, hot dogs rolls and sandwiches. Nothing browns on top of not cooking threw. I am very disappointed in this product. I would not recommend it at all.

Amazon Customer: It heats up quick and is easy to use, however it does not have a very big cooking surface. It will make 2 grilled cheese sandwiches side by side with a little bit of space to spare. This is suitable for 1 or 2 people but would not be for a larger family. It also does not have an on and off switch so it must be unpluged when not in use. Overall I am happy with the way it works and it is easy to clean.

GSVanWinkle: We were given a similar Cuisinart grill a couple years ago, and absolutely hated it. Fortunately, it fell of the counter and broke into many pieces. So I was very skeptical when the other half said we should order this one. When this Blue Diamond grill arrived, I was surprised. It was much smaller than the Cuisinart monstrosity. It's the perfect size to grill 2 burgers, 2 steaks, or 2 skewers of chicken breast. The first time I used it, I was blown away. Instead of the 3 incomprehensible dials on that Cuisinart garbage, this has one dial to control the temperature. I intentionally cooked some burger patties with cheese and bacon mixed in to see how it handles sticky stuff like burned cheese. After dinner, I popped the plates off, hit them with some Dawn Power Wash and they nearly rinsed clean. Minimal light scrubbing with a wet dishrag and they were done.
Pro's - Easy to clean! It's an excellent size when cooking for 2. The grease cup actually catches the run-off, unlike my George Foreman grills which seem to leak in places I never imagined.
Con's - Not big enough if you're cooking for more than 2 people.

Mario Rodriguez: Me agrado, su construccion se me hace un poco fragil, pero el hecho que se puedan quitar las parrillas para poderlas lavar es muy util. Otra cosa que me gusto es que se puede abril en 180 grados y se convierte en 2 planchas para cocinar. Bastante buen relacion costo beneficio

Kindle Customer: Returning the original, hoping the replacement will be an improvement. The positives: Seemed will packaged, seemed to have all parts included. VERY easy to clean, looks good, multi-purpose grill/griddle. Cooked steak evenly and precisely. Why it is being returned: When unpacking the manufacturer mounted upper grill plate would not release and required some careful prying to get it off. A rivet(one of several) used to secure the heating element shield to the lid was loose in the box. When we went to use the waffle grids found that we had two uppers which, obviously, wasn't going to work. I will update this review based on the replacement--hoping for a better experience.

April 4. Upping our overall rating to 4 stars based on two factors. The return/replacement response from Amazon. Easy to do and the replacement had all the correct parts. Performance. Waffle maker is as good as the grill. No stick, easy to use and control. This is not a heavy duty appliance but it does, after several uses, do what we wanted. We will be careful with the plates but at this point the non-stick surface really is--unlike some others we have tried.
