Cuisinart CGG-888 Grill Stainless Steel Lid 22-Inch Round Outdoor Flat Top Gas, 360° Griddle Cooking Center

I am new to the griddle game, and now that i have used one, i dont think i am going back to a traditional grill any time soon. This griddle cooks so evenly, and it gets hot enough to sear. The cleanup is so easy, because of the 360 grease tray. Also, since it is a flat top solid griddle, the grease never will get inside the firebox and burners. It was also so easy to put together. Only took me 35 minutes total. I love the round shape. I had my friends around the griddle helping to cook and just looking at it in awe. I cooked for 8 people no problem. I love this griddle!

Griddle top is peeling and metal peaces are going into our food. Unit works great however the griddle top is garbage. This unit is about 10 months old.

I was hesitant at first because I had never heard of a cuisanart brand grill but for the price and research, it seemed like it was worth trying. I received grill without any issues and no damages. It was simple to assemble in less than 45 minutes. Used it about a dozen times and cooks evenly and heats up fast. It is also easy to clean compared to other grills I've had in the past so that was a nice experience. Perfect product at this price point and would definitely purchase again. I'm receiving a free scraper for this review. I would still give it five stars without a scraper.

As far as gas grills of this size and class goes, it's a 4 star. It has less plastic on it than other grills in this class, and was easy to assemble out of the box. The 4 burners mean I can turn two off for off-set cooking. The 3 star rating is because there is a pretty large gap at the back of the lid; if you are cooking and have food on the top rack, take a peak around the back and gaze at your food through at that 1 1/2" gap! Some serious heat loss going on there. I admit, that was a shock to see. However, for the price, I am not gonna send it back. My handy husband is going to rig something up to close up that gap. I'd buy this again for the price. I mean, if I wanted a bentley, I would have bought one, you know?!

This would be a perfect purchase if it only had a natural gas conversion available. It chews through propane pretty fast. That said I'm using this griddle often and it's a pleasure to use. Update: I've been using the 360 griddle now almost daily for about a month or so. I've gone through two tanks of propane already. I also have a two year old camp chef 36" griddle so I have something to compare to. Here's my current opinion on the 360. The surface has some significant hot and cold spots. That's not so much of an issue though. Once you know where they are, the low temp spots are a good place use as a cold zone. I give that 4 stars I am downgrading my rating a few stars though. The lack of a natural gas conversion is a major hit for this type of griddle. It uses a lot of gas! Enough so that I bought a second LPG tank as backup. Cost of ownership goes up. Given the price of propane, it's pretty expensive to use. Much more so than NG or a regular grill. In the end, cost of use 2 stars. Quality of construction? Meh, it's OK for the price. I'll go 4 stars because the griddle surface is nice heavy construction. The rest is just average. Now the real hit. When I called the customer service number to ask if there was a NG kit available the answer was a curt NO. Seriously only one word then silence. When asked if there was any future plan for one, the same one word response. NO. Really, a NO, then silence again. I really didn't know how to respond to that literal slap so lack of conversation over. Thanks for the assistance? Given the short responses and the very high quantity of people requesting NG for this griddle, I can only assume Cuisenart is not at all interested in meeting their customer's needs. Sell it and forget it seems the way things operate there. Cuisenart as a whole is off my purchase list permanently. In 67 years, that was a whole new experience for me. 0 stars for CS. In fairness all that said, if a NG kit were available and customer service was even moderately respectful, I would have given this griddle a 5 star rating. It does cook great and I do like the lack of sides on the griddle surface. The drip tray could be a bit wider and the drip container falls of with a minimal bump. It's clearly not an Evo but it's also not $4k So in summary, if you don't mind constantly running out to buy gas and are not interested in customer service, this griddle will fit the bill. Otherwise my camp chef 36" griddle has been working perfectly for 2 years. It cooks great as well. It has a more even temperature across the surface and NG is a cheap conversion offered by the manufacturer. Hope this was an accurate and balanced review.

After my last grill died, I decided to finally get the griddle I have been wanting for some time. I was looking at a different brand, when I came across this one. The Cusinart name made me feel it was a good, solid product. I loved the lid that would let me also steam or bake. When I received it, it was fairly easy to assemble. As I read thru the instructions, I learned that it would need to be seasoned before first use. I have a nice collection of cast iron, so I'm very familiar with the seasoning process. I followed the instructions exactly as provided. Each time I used the griddle I would let it cool, clean it and give it a light coating of oil to prevent rust. I had purchased the nylon cover for it and kept it covered when not in use. So far, so good, right? No. Every time I have gone out to use the griddle, there is a red tint to the surface, indicating rust. So before I can cook, I have to remove the rust and clean the griddle again. If I still had the box it came in, I would return it. Very disappointed. Do not recommend this product!
