Cuisinart® 多功能煎烤機 無所不能:
煎烤機為主要的廚房電器,為您提供四種獨立 的烹飪選擇。僅需改變烹飪盤,調節鉸鏈,就 可將其用作扒爐、三明治烤盤機、敞開式烤架 或煎鍋。參見“裝配說明”和“操作說明”。
扒爐:
Cuisinart® 多功能煎烤機
用作扒爐,可烹
飪漢堡包、無骨肉片和薄肉切片與蔬菜。 當您想短時間內烹飪某種食品或尋找健康的
烤肉方法時,扒爐可發揮最出色的功能。在 扒爐上烹飪時,食品會很快烹飪好,因為您 同時燒烤食物的兩面,並且烹飪時能使油份 從肉上滴落然後沿烹飪盤排出。
將煎烤機用作扒爐時,建議使用烤盤。將蓋 子均衡放在食品頂部,直至達到需要的烹飪 溫度。煎烤機配備一個獨特的把手和允許蓋 子調節食品厚度的鉸鏈。您可輕鬆燒烤所 有的東西,從切得薄薄的土豆到厚厚的牛腰 肉,都可達到均勻效果。
在扒爐內烹飪多個食物時,重要的是食物的 厚度要一致,這樣蓋子會均勻地封閉食物。
Panini三明治烤盤機:
Cuisinart® 多功能煎烤機
用作三明治烤盤
機,可燒烤三明治、麵包和酥餅。 單詞“Panini”為意大利語,表示烤三明治
的意思。三明治可包含任何組合成分,如蔬 菜、肉和鋪在兩片鮮烤麵包之間的干酪片。 然後,將三明治壓在兩個烤盤或烤架之間, 以烘烤麵包,並給三明治加溫。通過多次實 驗,你會做出各種風味極佳的三明治或甜三 明治。我們建議採用新鮮的麵包,以烤制出 味道最好的三明治。通常用於
三明治的麵包 為focaccia 麵包(一種扁平麵包,烘焙時頂部 經常放迷迭香、鹽和洋蔥)
、michetta麵包
外表酥脆的小圓面卷)
、ciabatta 麵包(外
稍顯半球形的矩形麵包)和經典意大利麵
包厚片。 把煎烤機用作三明治
烤盤機時,建議使用 烤架。我們推薦烤 架,是因為傳統風格 的三明治會使麵包 上出現烤架痕跡。然
而,根據您制備的 三明治的類型,您可 能希望使用烤盤。作

為三明治烤盤機使用時,使用方法和扒爐一 樣。
Cuisinart® 多功能煎烤
機配備
一個獨特 的把手和允許蓋子調節所制備三明治厚度的 鉸鏈,使蓋子平穩地擺放。向把手輕輕施加壓 力,按您的想法擠壓與加熱三明治。
烹飪多個三明治時,重要的是各三明治的厚 度要一致,這樣蓋子會均勻地封閉三明治。
敞開式烤架:
Cuisinart® 多功能煎烤機
用作敞開式烤架, 烹飪漢堡包、牛排、家禽(我們不推薦烹飪 帶骨雞肉,因為這樣的雞肉在敞開式烤架上 烹飪地不均勻)、魚和蔬菜。
在敞開式烤架上烹飪是使用煎烤機的最通用 方法。在敞開位置,可用於燒烤的面積為表 面積的二倍(1290平方厘米)。您可選擇在 單獨烤盤上烹飪不同類型的食品(不用擔心 它們串味)或烹飪大量同類食品。敞開位置 也適合厚度不一的各種肉片,使您按自己的 口味燒烤每片肉。
敞開式烤架”指使用煎烤机時把蓋子平放, 產生兩倍的平坦烹飪表面。在這個位置,您 在燒烤的食物必須翻轉烹飪。將煎烤机用作 敞開式烤架時,應使用烤架。
烤盤:
將Cuisinart® 多功能煎烤機用作煎鍋來烹飪 薄烤餅、雞蛋、法式吐司、薯餅和早餐肉。 使用烤盤功能是為兩口之家或大家庭準備早 餐的完美方法。大表面積使您可同時烹飪不 同類型的食品或大量您喜歡的食品。
將煎烤機用作煎鍋時,打開蓋子,把蓋子平放, 產生兩倍的平坦烹飪表面。使用這個烹飪功能 時,應使用烤盤;烹飪時,建議多翻轉食物。

Note: Drips cups are located on outside of left polyfoam insert.
Before using your Cuisinart
®
Griddler for the first time, remove any dust from shipping by wiping the base, cover and controls with a damp cloth. Thoroughly clean cooking plates, drip trays and scraping tool. The grill and griddle plates, drip trays and cleaning tool are dishwasher safe. Refer to Assembly
Instructions for plate removal.
THE GRIDDLER DOES IT ALL:
The Griddler is the ultimate kitchen appliance, offering you four separate cooking options. Simply change the cooking plates and adjust the hinge to use as a Contact Grill, Panini
Press, Open Grill or Griddle. See Assembly Instructions and Operating Instructions.
Contact Grill:
Use the Griddler 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 item at the same time. The ribs on the grill plates combined with the grease spout at the corner of the plate allow the grease to drip from the meat and drain off the plates.
When the Griddler is used as a Contact Grill the grill plates are recommended. Rest the cover evenly on top of the food until it has reached the desired cooked temperature. The Griddler was designed with a unique handle and hinge that allows the cover to adjust to the thickness of the food. You can easily grill anything from a thinly-sliced potato to a thick sirloin steak with even results.

When cooking more than one food item in the Contact Grill, it is important that the thickness of food items is consistent so the cover will close evenly on the food.
Panini Press:
Use the Griddler as a Panini Press to grill sand­wiches, breads and quesadillas.
The word “Panini” is an Italian term for grilled sandwich. Panini can include any combination of ingredients such as vegetables, meat and cheese layered between two pieces of fresh baked bread. The sandwich is then pressed between two grill or griddle plates to toast the bread and warm the sandwich. Experiment to make a variety of savory or sweet sandwiches for any meal. We recommend using fresh baked bread to produce the best tasting Panini. Popular breads used for Panini are focaccia (a flat bread frequently baked with rosemary, salt and onion on top), michetta (a small round roll with a crisp crust), ciabatta (a rectangular bread with a slightly domed crust) and thick slices of classic Italian bread.
When the Griddler is used as a Panini Press, the grill plates are recommended. We recom­mend the grill plates because a traditional-style Panini sandwich will have grill marks on the bread. However, depending upon the type of sandwich you are preparing, you may wish to use the griddle plates. The Griddler functions as a Panini Press in the same manner that it functions as a Contact Grill. The Griddler was designed with a unique handle and hinge that allows the cover to adjust to the thickness of the sandwich you are preparing, and to rest there evenly. Light pressure can be applied to the handle to press and heat the sandwich to your liking.
When cooking more than one Panini, it is important that the thick­ness of each sandwich is consistent so the cover will close evenly on the Panini.
Open Grill:
Use the Griddler as an Open Grill to cook burgers, steak, poultry (we do not recommend cooking bone-in chicken, since it does not cook evenly on an open grill), fish and vegetables.
Cooking on the Open Grill is the most versatile method of using the Griddler. In the open position, you have double the surface area (200 sq. inches) for grilling. You have the option of cooking different types of foods on separate plates without combining their flavors, or cook­ing large amounts of the same type of food. The open position also accommodates different cuts
of meat with varying thicknesses, allowing you to cook each piece to your liking.
“Open Grill” refers to using the Griddler with the cover laying flat, creating a double, flat cook­ing surface. In this position, the foods you are grilling will have to be turned over for cooking. When the Griddler is used as an Open Grill, the grill plates should be used.
Griddle:
Use the Griddler as a Griddle to cook pancakes, eggs, French toast, hash browns and breakfast meats.
Using the Griddle function is a wonderful way to prepare breakfast for two or for a large fam­ily. The large surface area allows you to cook a variety of different foods at the same time, or large amounts of your favorite food.
When you use the Griddler as a Griddle, open the cover so it lays flat, creating a double, flat cooking surface. In this position, the foods you are preparing will have to be turned over for cooking. When using this cooking function, the griddle plates should be used.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
Place Griddler on a clean flat surface where you intend to cook.
The Griddler can be positioned in three ways:
Closed Position – Upper plate/cover rests flat on lower plate/base. This is your starting and heating position when using the Contact Grill or Panini Press functions.
Open Position
Upper plate/cover is open and in the 100° position. Open the cover to this position before using the Griddler as a Contact Grill or Panini Press. To adjust the Griddler to this position, simply lift the handle until you feel it come to a locking position. The unit will stay in this position until you close the cover or continue to open it to the Flat Position.
The cover will stay in the upright position until you lower the handle for cooking. When this is done, the cover will release itself so that it lies flat on the top of the food you are preparing. This allows you to cook your food evenly from both top and bottom. When you lift the handle to open the Griddler after cooking the cover will remain in the flat position, parallel with the lower plate. In order to lock the cover back into the upright position, you must close the Griddler, without any food in place, and open it again.
Flat Position – Upper plate/cover is level with lower plate/base. The upper and lower plates line up to create one large cooking surface. The Griddler is in this position when it is used as an Open Grill or Griddle.
To adjust the Griddler to this position, locate the hinge release lever on the right arm. With your left hand on the handle, use your right hand to slide the lever toward you. Push the handle back until the cover rests flat on the counter. The unit will stay in this position until
you lift the handle and cover to return it to the closed position.
If the Griddler is already in the open position and you wish to adjust it to the flat position, pull the handle slightly toward you and then lift the hinge release lever. Push the handle back until the cover rests in the flat position. Pulling the handle forward slightly before lifting the hinge release switch will take some of the pressure off of the hinge and you will be able to adjust the Griddler more easily.
To insert cooking plates:
Adjust the Griddler to the Flat Position (see above) with the controls directly in front of you. Insert one plate at a time. Each plate is designed to fit in either the upper housing or the lower housing of the Griddler. The word “lower” or “upper” is embossed into each grill or griddle plate to let you know where to attach the plate. Pick up the lower grill/griddle plate with the cut­outs for the heating element facing down. If you are facing the Griddler the drip spout should be at the forward right­hand corner of the plate. Locate the metal brackets at the center of the housing. Tilt the back end of the plate and line up the cutouts at the back of the plate with the metal brackets. Slide the plate underneath the brackets and push down the front end of the plate. It will snap into place. Turn the Griddler around and insert the matching grill or griddle plate into the upper housing as you did with the first plate.
To remove cooking plates:
Adjust Griddler to Flat Position (see above). Locate the plate release but­tons on one side of the unit. Press firmly on button and the plate will pop up slightly from the base. Grasp the plate with two hands, slide it out from under the metal brackets, and lift it out of the base. Press on the other plate release button to remove the other cooking plate in the same manner.
