GreenPan 6-in-1 Multifunction Removable Plate Indoor Grill & Electric Griddle, Diamond Infused PFAS Free Ceramic Nonstick Reversible Plates, Opens Flat, Adjustable Temp, Panini Press, Black

I bought this specifically to make paninis, but didn't realize how much I needed this press in my kitchen. I use it all the time now. I even bought the add-on waffle plates and waffle just about anything that will fit.The double-sided plates are excellent with the raised grill lines on one side and the flat plate on the other. I use both sides regularly and they were great for their desired results. I keep coming up in new ways to use the thing and now put it to work three or four times a week at various meals. The removable trays are one of the marquee features of this device and one of the key decision points I had for getting it. I've had similar cooking devices (like waffle makers) with fixed plates and they're a nightmare to clean up. The ceramic coating on the reversible cooking trays sweat off everything. Add that to the fact the cooking trays are removable makes for ridiculously easy cleanup. Just don't use metal utensils as they will scratch the coating and destroy the non-stick surface.If there was one criticism that I would have, it's that the drip tray fills up really quickly when you're trying to fry bacon or doing something else with a lot of fat content in it. If it does start filling up, it's not practical to pull it out and empty it mid-cook if there's still more fat running out. You'll end up with this huge mess all over the counter with the drip tray out. This is manageable and you just have to be cautious about the quantity you're cooking when prepping something particularly fatty (again, bacon). Definitely not worth downgrading the score over this as the drip tray is more than sufficient for most uses, but something that almost caused me a problem. Okay, one other thing: there's a mandatory timer you have to set every time you turn the heat on. I understand the purpose of the forced timer - it's to protect against you walking away and forgetting the thing is on - but the timer is kind of a nuisance if you set it too short and the machine shuts off before you're done using it. I only did this once. Now I just set the timer at 45 minutes so I've got plenty of time to finish cooking whatever. This way I shut it off manually before the timer ever runs out. The device always remembers the last used temperature and timer setting which is super convenient, so it's kind of set once and don't worry about it. Again, not worth marking down the score over it, just worth a mention in case anybody else is running into same problem.Overall, I'm deliriously happy with this press and can't recommend it highly enough.

The panini press is decent size. You can use it to make variety of sandwiches. One can opt to use just one plate or both and can also set the temperature. The plates are reversible and can be easily removed for cleaning. When you put in ciabatta bread, it might slide out. For that I just hold the top gently from the front and then it just stays in place. Note the hinges are made of plastic and any heavy pressure might break those things so just be wary of that. Otherwise it works just fine.

I used to have a panini machine that would heat only top and bottom and you couldn't remove the grills to wash them. This purchase is far superior because of ability to 1) lie flat and have two plates to grill/griddle on, 2) press a panini or a steak, control heating plates both or separately, 3) washable plates, 4) non-toxic and 5) temperature control. It did seem to take awhile to heat up, but I was able to cook my burgers during the heat-up time instead of waiting. Highly recommend.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Works great,most even golden, color sandwiches. Perfection. I wanted this because no Teflon. I really wanted stainless steel, or cast iron, plates but could not find one with anything except nonstick teflon. This is a great product. Made perfect grilled chicken, grilled sandwiches,grilled hot dogs and grilled veggies. Works perfect ,great size for family

This cooker saved my health and the household. My son was always overheating bacon grease in a cast iron pan and filling the house with smoke. The smoke was making me sick. With the Greenspan, there is no smoke , only the steam and smell of bacon. We placed it on a large cutting board and it all slides onto the stove so cooking vapors go up the range hood.It has a firmly attached grease catcher that slides out for cleaning.Nice electronic controls and can be turned off without unplugging it.

We bought the GreenPan in Oct. 2024, It quit working in Mar. 2025. We were pretty upset because my Wife loves using it. We have cooked steaks, hamburgers and sausages on it. It is a great little grill! So, when it failed we contacted GreenPan and they took my Info. and no questions asked GreenPan sent a brand new grill. NO HASSLE AT ALL!Thanks GreenPan!

This is a so so item. Grilling is ok. Cleaning the grills is a pain. Not non stick surface after a couple of uses.

Used about 4 times now for Panini sandwiches and really like it. The top we figured out the top tilts which is great to fit over sandwich. Cleans up easily though Panini sandwich aren’t real messy for us anyways. Glad we purchased it even though a bit spendy no harmful coatings. Should last us a long time hopefully!
