Cuisinart 360 Xl Griddle Cooking Center Review

The cold-rolled steel cooktop fries eggs, bacon and pancakes for breakfast and burgers, grilled cheese or stir-fried vegetables for dinner. The large cooking surface provides plenty of room for CGWM-081 Clermont Pellet Grill & Smoker Cover mains and sides, with two burners offering heat-intensity options. Designed to work with 20-pound propane tanks, the griddle goes from backyard to campsite to tailgate for al fresco adventures.

When the surface turns dark and smooth all over the 360° plate, you’ll be ready to start griddling! I ended up seasoning the Cuisinart 360 XL Griddle Outdoor Cooking Station three times in total, before being ready to cook on it. The whole seasoning process took me about 30 minutes to complete. The manufacturer instructions recommend seasoning with oil two to three times or until you get a smooth black finish on the griddle. If using a kitchen towel, be sure to pick one you don’t mind discarding because it will most likely be ruined afterward.

Season heavy when you first get it, for us we find crisco on it after cooking on it works great. 100% highly recommend, mine even came damaged and I was promptly sent a new one. Next, turn the heat on high until it blackens cuisinart pots and pans set and smokes. Allow it to cool and then add several more layers of cooking oil by repeating the process. If a grill or griddle will live outside, it’s also a good idea to buy a cover for it to protect it from the elements.

After you have applied a fair amount of flax or vegetable oil over the entire surface of your griddle, use your cleaning pads to scrub away any remaining food remnants. When you’re ready to start cleaning, turn your griddle on high heat. Allow your griddle to remain on high heat for 3-5 minutes. CGWM-081 Clermont Pellet Grill & Smoker Cover Give your griddle time to cool off before you begin the scraping process so that you don’t accidently burn yourself. I’ve done everything on it but my favorite is Philly cheese steaks. I still need to try another pan on it to boil water or heat up a cast iron but otherwise it’s awesome.

Let me try to explain to you why I’m such a huge fan of this fantastic griddle. You only need to wipe it with a paper towel and there are no food residuals. There is no need for extra space for the gas tank as you can put it right under the griddle. Just place it where you want the griddle to be and then start cooking your food. There is a grease cup located at the back of the grease trough for easy cleanup.

In no time it will be nonstick and ready to handle most any food. Let’s start with how simple this was to put together, it was amazingly easy and took hardly any time at all. The fact that I can fold this and store it somewhere if I want is also a big plus. The sheer magnitude of food you can cook on this thing is awesome as well not to mention the amount of items you can fit on the cooktop at once! The versatility makes this item perfect for a family breakfast or even a bbq cookout.
