I have a griddler as well. While it does not have that much heft to it, the handle makes it easy to provide leverage to get it as flat as you want it. It also unfolds to two cooking surfaces for whatever reason if you wanted to use it for pancakes or whatever instead of the stove. Tuna melts on the griddler = awesome.

I use the ribbed side of my griddle on the bottom, and a skillet on top. I guess I could put a brick or something in the skillet for more weight, but my sammies are not real thick.

Breville as well. Use it all the time. Nice unit. No complaints.

I do something similar to thirdeye's method. I heat up two pans one the stove. One is a cast iron griddle (flat... no sides), and the other is just a regular CI frying pan. I put the sandwich on the griddle, then press it with the frying pan. (And I can whip up a mean cuban sandwich!)

I don't have a lot of experience, but used the Griddler at the in-law's this last weekend and it seemed pretty solid.

I would think the Cuisinart would be a better choice. I like the separate controls for the top and bottom and the two sets of plates.

Smooth,
I just got the Lodge color porcelain on cast iron for my bride for Christmas. We love it. Plenty of weight, and surprisingly the cooking surfaces are black porcelain also, not cast iron as I expected when ordering, so it doesn't need seasoning, and cleans up quick with no corrosion.




With this lid, heavy enough to make awesome Reuben's!




They come in a few colors. We chose blue.

Keep calm and panini on

Here is how I do mine.

My griddle does have the raised grill on the other side if you want the grill marks.
