Tips And Hints Preheat your Cuisinart® GriddlerTM overstuffed sandwich maker completely before using. For sandwiches that are quick to assemble, prepare sandwich fixings while grill is preheating. The lid to the sandwich maker should be closed while it is preheating as well as in between making batches of sandwiches. The Cuisinart® GriddlerTM overstuffed sandwich maker is designed to accommodate breads of all shapes and sizes. The sandwich plates measure 5½ x 5 inches to accommodate a wide variety of bread sizes. Breads that are longer than 5½ inches can easily be toasted lengthwise or on the diagonal. Breads can also be sliced from whole loaves. Butter, margarine, and olive oil are recommended for coating the outside of bread when making sandwiches. "Light" versions of margarines are not recommended as they do not withstand heat (check manufacturer's labels for cooking recommendations for best results). Have butter or margarine at room temperature when spreading on bread, or melt and apply with a pastry brush. For best results, moist ingredients such as sliced tomatoes or fruits, pickles, etc. , should be blotted or patted dry with a paper towel. Sauces, such as tomato sauce or salsa, can be drained for a short time in a strainer lined with a coffee filter to remove excess liquid. There are limitless filling options for the sandwich maker ­ from breakfast to snacks and from dinner to dessert. Try a wide variety of breakfast sandwiches, and omelets, mini pizzas and calzones, burritos and fruit pies. Make tasty muffins and small cakes in your sandwich maker. Most muffin mixes bake best by using the setting between medium and high. Spray sandwich plates with cooking spray once preheated and use ¼ cup of batter per sandwich pocket. Packaged biscuits, bread and pizza doughs found in the refrigerated section make great sandwich "shells" for any type of filling.
