Get ready to grill mouthwatering foods with the Cuisinart CGG-200 All-Foods Table Top Gas Grill. This table-top Cuisinart Portable grill may be compact, but it allows you to cook anything with perfection – from steaks to your vegetable side dishes. With its 12K BTU stainless steel loop-type burner, and its porcelain-coated iron cooking great, it will grill your food efficiently and evenly.
The Cuisinart portable grill has a modular grilling surface system, which makes it versatile for virtually any type of dish. The system allows you to interchange grill panels, depending on your cooking needs. There are surfaces particularly designed for soft, delicate foods like vegetables. While the panels lock securely and snuggly to the cooking surface, unlocking is as easy as a snap.
Grill Design
The CGG-200 has a stainless steel 430 steel grill lid. The double wall insulation of this lid keeps all elements out while maintaining even heat while cooking. The handle is made of stainless steel 201, making it safe and easy to open the lid and turn food while cooking. Even if it is compact, the grill offers 240 square inches of cooking surface. Now, that allows you to cook for up to 8 people in just one sitting!
Porcelain coating is applied to many heated metal elements of this grill. These parts include the cooking grate itself. The grate is the most abused part of portable grills but worry not. Porcelain enamel provides structure, durability and resistance to repeated heating. The flame tamer is also enamel-coated to withstand temperatures released by the burner.
Finally, the Cuisinart portable grill CGG-200 is equipped with a durable single-piece welded grill base. If you are into serious table-top grilling, you need to have a strong base. It elevates the grill to the preferred grilling height. You can also purchase the optional folding grill stand, which can be connected to the base without reassembling. This is also made of porcelain enamel-coated steel.
For storage and mobility, the grill can be disassembled into the following: leg assembly, screws and washers, cooking grate, firebox and lid.
Performance
You start grilling with the ergonomic “TwiStart Ignition System.” All you have to do is to press-and-twist with one hand, and it will ignite in just a few seconds. Users commend how the system is able to heat up quickly. Because of the simple design of the table top grill, heat and reheat-up times are a lot faster than most market models. Within a moment, you will achieve the desired temperature with the 12,000-BTU burner. The grilling temperature can reach up to 500 degrees in no time!
The grate is uniquely designed, allowing you to use either side depending on the type of food. The flat side is best for producing perfect grill lines on chops, poultry and steaks. The other side is best for even, point-grilling. This works best for soft meat like sea foods and fishes. Both sides of the Cuisinart portable grill grate are guaranteed to distribute heat evenly so that there will be no cold or uncooked spots on your meal.
