Cuisinart CGG-200 All-Foods 12,000-BTU Tabletop Gas Grill
My old, very large gas grill finally fell apart after many long years of use. I've been using a charcoal Weber while looking for a replacement gas grill. I love all things Cuisinart so was very intrigued when I found this grill here on Amazon. After reading the reviews I knew my search was over; this was the grill for me.
I actually found it on ebay for 10.00 less than Amazon at the time, same free shipping, so I ordered from there (it's the same price now, 159.95). The seller was Beach Camera, the only seller listed here on Amazon currently. I also bought the cover, which is much heavier/nicer than any other grill cover I've ever owned. Beach Camera is a great seller, you won't be disappointed with their service.
The grill is heavy duty and I'm guessing it's going to last a long time. The grate is genuine cast iron, so season it before using to get the full cast iron effect, and extend the life of the grate. It has a very fine coating of wax on it for protection, so you should wash it the first time with very hot water to remove the wax. Dry it well then coat it, both sides, with an oil of your choosing - I used olive oil. Put it into your oven (pre-heated to 450), turn heat down to 300, leave it for an hour, turn heat off and let it cool. Your grate is now seasoned. You won't need to wash it again. Just keep it debris-free with your grill brush, and oil before each use.
This grill heats very quickly, and the surface of the grate is evenly heated. The size is more than adequate for an average size family. I recommend reading more of the reviews for more info and helpful tips! I could not be more pleased with this purchase.
