Press a sandwich, cook pancakes across two open plates, or grill vegetables alongside dinner. GreenPan's Elite Multi Grill & Griddle in Graphite gives you several ways to cook from one countertop appliance, with reversible plates that switch between ridged grilling and a flat griddle surface.

The useful distinction from a basic sandwich press is control: each plate has its own temperature setting. Open the grill flat and you can use different temperatures for two foods, or close it for contact cooking from above and below. The 175–500°F range covers gentle browning through high-heat searing, and the dedicated sear function gives you a direct way to finish foods at higher heat. One-touch presets help with setup.

GreenPan pairs that flexibility with Thermolon Volt, its ceramic nonstick coating developed specifically for kitchen appliances and made without intentionally added PFAS. The included reversible grill/griddle plates measure 11.8 by 10.8 inches. GreenPan calls this a six-in-one design: contact grill, contact griddle, mixed grill and griddle, open grill, open griddle and a waffle setting. Waffle plates are sold separately, so the waffle setting is an option to build on later, not an accessory included in this box.

At Athens Cooks, the independent plate controls are the reason we'd choose this for someone who cooks more than pressed sandwiches. Keeping eggs on a gentler surface while another food browns makes the open-flat arrangement genuinely useful. The removable plates also matter when the cooking is done: you can take them to the sink instead of cleaning around a fixed cooking surface.

The appliance runs at 1800 watts and measures 13.6 by 13.9 by 7.3 inches. The grill/griddle plates and removable grease tray are dishwasher safe; wipe the base with a damp cloth. GreenPan recommends silicone utensils to help extend the coating's life. A lockable, adjustable cover and cord wrap help keep the unit together for storage. Start with the included plates, then add compatible waffle plates if waffles are part of your routine.
