Cuisinart CGG

Assembled and seasoned the grill and used it the same dayWorked great

I love cooking on this! Makes the best grilled food and easy clean up ! Big cooking area but doesn't take up much space on porch

Ordered in nov for Christmas present for my hub but really wanted for myself! No problem putting it together just took time. Used yesterday to make a big batch of meatballs for the freezer. Started right up and I am glad I can cook bacon or hamburger with out stinking my kitchen up. Just a little worried about the finish on the grill I would imagine steel tools are a no no I think it could scratch off easily but great to use so far.

I use this several times a week, all year round. (I live in SE Pa) I've had it about two years and it has changed the way I cook in a major way. I keep it in my front yard, about 15 ft from the door, and even on the coldest days, I can go out & quickly cook breakfast. I have cast iron Lodge griddles that fit over the electric range-top burners, but this is quicker and easier to use, and cleans up faster even though I have to go outside. And no smoke-filled rooms, all-day onion or bacon smell, or smoke alarms triggered. Also, for french toast & pancakes, I can load the whole batch on, where even with the large range griddle, they don't all fit at once. Veggies and thick onion slices come out perfect. The only complaint I read is 'no grill marks'. Well, if I feel the need, I just use the cast iron grill plates from my portable Nexgrill Cast Aluminum Table Top Gas BBQ which has been relegated for use in the backyard, mainly for quick hotdogs or something when I'm out in the garage. I set those grill plates on the Cusinart griddle surface to heat up, along with a couple presses when I first fire up, & put the dome on so everything gets evenly hot. You could also buy those Nexgrill grates, or another brand separately. The heat distribution is not quite even, but the learning curve solved that for me. This is among the best 3 appliances I've ever purchased in my 50+ years of adult life. Get one while they're still reasonably priced. Also, don't neglect to buy the cover if you plan on leaving it outside.

We love it!
