The Food Network 4-in-1 and Habanero-Cranberry Sauce
The Food Network 4-in-1 grilling station.
As part of our “Try This for the Holidays” series, Kohl’s Department stores sent me a Food Network 4-in-1 grill/griddle, which I used to to make the Thanksgiving Leftover Cubanini.
The device purports to perfect for grilling, griddling, waffle-making and sandwich pressing.
In my experience with the last claim, the device was a success.
The grilling and griddling plates are removable, which not only allows for flexibility but easy cleanup.
The elements heated up in just a couple of minutes and the sandwich was done in about 4 minutes. It’s nonstick surface was easy to wipe down. It did take the 4-in-1 about a half hour to cool down after making two sandwiches.
Based on my early experiences, I can recommend it. That said, I’ll update this post as I continue to use it for its other uses to report the results.
Here’s the recipe for the Cranberry Sauce I made for the mayo…
Habanero-Cranberry Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 bag fresh cranberries
- 1 habanero chile

By poaching it in the water, that eventually becomes a syrup, much of the sting is removed — but certainly not all.
Your chutney sounds great.
Happy Thanksgivig David.
We’re cooking on Sunday, so I will have plenty of time to make this.
When you say to simmer till thickened, about how long would that be?
I just don’t want to mess it up.
Thanks!
10-15 minutes or so. You’ll know when it’s done, it’s a syrup. Once it’s done, it mixes in perfectly with surrounding dishes. If you’re worried about heat, simply use a half a chile.
this is correct — one pepper to 12 oz berries. did this last night w/out this recipe only i removed pepper seeds to improve consistency and reduce heat w/out sacrificing too much flavor
A whole habanero to 12 ounces of cranberries? I like heat but I don’t think many people would enjoy this. Maybe half a jalapeno.
I have a cranberry chutney recipe that calls for fresh ginger and 1/4
to 1/2 tsp cayenne or ground chile. It’s quite spicy.
