While cheap in many ways, this unit had a good combination of heat output and solid cooking surface. Afterall, when it comes to flat top grills, it is the cooking surface that makes all the difference. That unit had a 22-inch diameter cooking plate with about 380 square inches of griddle. This XL version has a 30-inch diameter surface with over 700 square inches of griddle top. CARE AND MAINTENANCE CLEANING AND CARE Griddles are remarkably easy to keep clean. After you’ve completed your first cook you’ll want to spray down the hot surface with water and scrape debris away.
This griddle is for use with liquid propane gas only. The conversion to or aempted use of natural gas in this LP gas grill is dangerous and will void your warranty. This outdoor cooking gas appliance must not be placed under overhanging combusble structure. A minimum clearance of 36 inches from combusble construcons to the sides of the griddle and 36 inches from the back of the griddle to combusble construcons must be maintained. Keep your griddle in an area clear and free from combusble materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. This griddle is intended for use outdoors and must not be used in a building, garage or any other enclosed or covered area.
When it comes to other accessories, I highly recommend buying the 7-piece griddle kit. You’ll want to fill one with water for steaming vegetables and melting cheese and one with oil for searing meats or frying eggs. When you assemble the griddle, you’ll start to see the cuisinart soup maker features come to life. Most griddles are arranged with a front cooking area and three side walls. They’re setup so that you only cook from the front side. You can cook from any side, which is fun if you want to bring the party to the griddle and get others involved.
The CGG-999 stands on lockable casters, so it’s easy to move around when the urge strikes you. The Cuisinart 360 Griddle Cooking Center measures approximately 40 inches deep by 32 inches wide by 44 inches high and weighs about 60 pounds. Four wheels, two with locks, make it relatively easy to move the griddle.
If you are looking to start with outdoor griddling this unit might be a great starting point. Backyard grills and smokers dominate the outdoor cooking scene, so when we saw this model we knew that we had to test it. The Cuisinart 360 griddle brings something new, that we are not used to seeing in other griddle models. For a bacon fan like myself, the flat surface is fantastic for cooking perfect straight crispy bacon, all evenly cooked, which is impossible to get on a traditional grill. The Blackstone 1554 grill is perfect for cooking if you are the only one cooking as the food is easy to manage and will not fall off the griddle easily. The grease easily fell off the cooking space because it does not have walls so cleaning up while cooking is unnecessary.
