This grill is great!! It is big enough to cook a whole meal on it, the skewers are so easy to use and it maintains the heat perfectly.

I would recommend this to everyone who wants easy cooking with great flavors!

Leave it to Cuisinart to come up with a fantastic, very versatile multi function appliance. As usual, and as with all Cuisinart products. This unit is very well built, easy to use, and clean up's a breeze.

The unit has a heavy duty calrod coil (heating element) that insures even heat distribution for both the upper griddle/grill, and lower cooking area. The griddle plate itself is a good size, and comprised of a very good thickness/weight. Therefore NO griddle cool spots. Considering all the options this unit has to offer, and the amount of food that can be prepared at one time. Due to its sleek contemporary design, it truly does not take up a lot of counter space. If you enjoy cooking & entertaining. This is a must have appliance for your kitchen.
