I am looking at either the Breville Ikon Removable Plate Grill or the Breville Ribbed Panini Press. Anyone have these and suggest which one to buy. The first one is on sale for $152.99 and the other for $59.49 at Sears. Is one a better buy than the other? Thanks.

I saw a grill that had removable teflon grates that you could grill marks, waffle textures, plain.

The 5 grills go into the dishwasher or easily wipe clean.

New George Foreman grill for about $99.

Thanks Wolfbaby, thats whay its so much cheaper . So I guess I have to figure out what do I really want to use it for to justify the price.

They are two different items though - ones a grill - which you can cook everything from burgers to pancakes on - the other is a panini press for doing grilled sandwiches and the like. You can't cook hamburgers and other things on it - it doesn't get hot enough.

I also have the Cuisinart Griddler and am happy with it.

I have no idea which one is better, but just want to let you know that a panini press is a great investment :) I bought one a couple of months ago, and I use it a lot. It's the Cuisinart Griddler Gourmet. It has removable ribbed & flat griddles, and you can open it all the way so the top and bottom form one big griddle. I got it at Linens N Things -- if they still have any in stock, you might get a great price on it with their going-out-of-business sale.
