To start let me tell you about the griddler by Cusinart. The griddler allows to have a barbecue in the comfort of your own kitchen actually access an indoor barbecue without having any gas there are no fires no trips to home depot to pick up extra canister of propane. So the griddler by Cusinart actually allows you to two different types of cooking. The first is a grill so you can actually see the grill plates here are grooved just like a barbecue arch. And then it also comes with a griddler option with grid plates that are flat which allows you to cook pan cakes and other flat types of food. The griddler has 3 very simple knobs 1 where you can chose between your grilling function and your griddling function and one on either side that allows you to adjust the temperature for each function. This allows you to cook your food exactly how you like it. It also comes with 2 different cups which collect all of the juices that may come off your meat while you're cooking them and the griddler is very easy to clean. It actually has a button which allows you to take the grill plate off and you can just bring them to the sinks scrub them of with sponge and then put it right back there when you're done. And lastly the griddler is actually a very nice looking kitchen appliance. It has a nice strong feel to it and it looks good in almost any kitchen. The George Foreman Grill on the other hand is very simple device. Its one piece you take it you plug it in you open it up slap your food on and cook. Although I appreciate the simplicity of it the Foreman does have a couple of draw backs for starters when you go to clean it since the grill plates does not pop out I don't really know what to do. Do I just sponge of on the counter or do I throw the whole thing in the sink I'm not sure. Next I don't really know what temperature that Foreman grill uses to cook my food for basic things like frozen hamburgers and the like. I think it's very good but I cannot control the temperature nor does it have different detachable grill plates. Last but not the least; I guess the Foreman grill isn't really much to look at. Now Dane I do see the pros and cons of both appliances but how do we know which one really is better? Hmm I don't know are you thinking what I'm thinking? As you just witnessed we had a competition and official cook off between the griddler by Cusinart and the original George Foreman Grill. Brian why don't you tell the audience what happen? Well it's a very exciting cook off went head to head griddler George Foreman and the judges actually had 5 key areas of comparison and the griddler took all 5 hands down. First was melt ness the mozzarella cheese on the griddler ___ melt in much better than on the George Foreman. Number 2 we had speed of cook the griddler cook at ___ in once in half the time that the George Foreman took 3. Over all taste ability now it the tasty ___ by the griddler. The George Foreman produce the ___ was eatable but I really won't serve it to my children. And most importantly the last one is overall experience I enjoyed making my ____ it was fun it was hurdy it was a good kitchen experience ___ on the other hand well probably I've more fun doing other things. So in conclusion what can we say really happy Brian? You got its cool (Background music)
