Sometimes choice is not a good thing. For example, when presented with the opportunity to have a hot dog or a hamburger, choosing can be difficult. Perhaps location will come into play for the decision: hot dogs at the ballgame, burgers at the backyard party. Or maybe what condiments are on-hand would be the deciding factor. But for those times in the comfort of your own kitchen, with all necessary condiments in the fridge, the best option isn't either/or, but rather, both.

At least the question of how best to prepare hot dogs and hamburgers can finally be put to rest. The Cuisinart (GC-17) Griddler Grill Centro 1,700-watt two-tier grill/griddle with rotating skewers is an all-in-one appliance designed to appeal to both hot dog fans and hamburger lovers. Featuring a grill/griddle plate on top and automatically rotating hot dog rollers underneath, the combination appliance facilitates the cooking of both All-American faves. Best of all, the two-tier design allows for hot dogs and hamburgers to both be made at the same time--it's almost as if you have to have one of each.

Of course, one is not limited to hamburgers and hot dogs. The reversible grill top flips over to expose a flat-surfaced griddle, which is perfect for pancakes, fried eggs, and bacon for breakfast. After setting this grill up on the countertop, the only remaining question that would remain is if hamburger and hot dog eaters will ever again need another appliance.
