Cuisinart CGG-501 Gourmet Gas Griddle

This is my second purchase of this model in 5 years - old one finally rusted out from PAC NW weather I have owned a lot of different grills by different makers but this one is the best for me because: + Grill Size is perfect for cooking for 2 to 4 people +. Small footprint takes up very little space on my tiny patio + Portable base makes it easy to move or take on a picnic + Engineered to be easy to use - instant on, great heat control, easy to clean +. Never Burns Food - cooks quickly and evenly Only complaint - Amazon delivered late (due to excessive demand I guess)

I was lucky enough to find this affordable price because Amazon had this in their clearance discount section because of it tiny little scratch on one of the legs. I find that the portable barbeques a decent quality are so expensive and I have been looking at this model for a while. Well lightning struck for me and I was lucky enough to be able to afford to purchase. I’ve been using the barbeque now for weeks and it is quite sturdy. I like the grate as it’s cast iron. You have to take care with the casing though because it’s a bit on the thin side and could be easily dented so I put a cover on it all the time. But it’s very handy and very portable

I've admittedly only had this grill for a few days, but after using it for two nights in a row I can say I'm pretty happy with it. It's very well put together and has a solid feel to it; the lid has a good weight to it and the hinges open smoothly. More important than the aesthetic is the fact that it grills really well, too. I got the 4' hose so I could connect it to a normal 20 pound propane tank and it started on the first turn. So far I've seen it get to 550 degrees about five or six minutes after lighting it, so it's definitely hot enough to sear meat. I'd read some reviews which said it couldn't hold its temperature in windy conditions, but two nights ago the wind was howling here and I grilled with no problems. I mean, it cooled off when I opened the lid to turn stuff over, but it's got a relatively small enclosed space so it heated right back up again shortly after I closed it. I'm hoping it performs this well in the dead of winter; I'll try to remember to post an update after the snow starts falling. Short version: I recommend this grill.

I've used it twice and plan to use it again on the weekend. The heat appears to be even across the grill. I didn't find any hot spots. It has a large cooking surface for a portable grill. It's nice and sturdy.

On l'aime bcp parce qu'il est léger et facile à transporter. On l'utilise au camping et à la plage. Mais pour l'hiver je ne recommande pas. Ne garde pas la chaleur
