Do you want an outdoor griddle that also allows you to steam, bake and smoke food? The Cuisinart Griddle Cooking Center comes with a giant stainless steel vented lid that lets you do just that. Turning down the heat a little would be a plus anyway, as some users have found it burns rather hot and will drink a 20L propane tank in no time. We should make mention of that stainless steel lid. It’s a very handy thing to have on a griddle, as it gives you a whole host of options on how to use it. Maybe you’ll try a little smoking, maybe roast some items on a low heat – this is more versatile than it might at first appear.
The Cuisinart 360 XL Cooking Center just makes everything so much easier. While it has a large cooking area, the griddle itself doesn’t take much space on the patio. As a bonus, it has a pretty amazing quality-price ratio, available for only $441.87 at Walmart, which CGWM-081 Clermont Pellet Grill & Smoker Cover is a pretty competitive price. For all those reasons, I highly recommend the Cuisinart 360 XL Cooking Center to anyone who is tempted by the whole griddling experience. If you’re a dedicated griller like me, you know that grilling is not just about cooking outside.

Deaths, serious injury or damage to property may occur if the above is not followed exactly. This griddle is the largest of the Cuisinart 360 line, hence the name 360 XL Griddle Outdoor Cooking Station. More precisely, it has a diameter of 30 inches, which gives a circular cooking surface of around 700 square inches. It comes with 3 independent burners for a total of 45,000 BTUs.
The paint on the cover burned off after only 3 uses. I usually trust the quality of Cuisinart products. Achieving a clean Cuisinart griddle requires about as many steps as thoroughly scrubbing a sink full of dirty dishes. You don’t have to be a cooking or cleaning expert to keep your Cuisinart 360 griddle clean. The more food residue that gets baked into your griddle, the more work-intensive the cleaning process will be.
Regularly check that the flow of combuson and venlaon air is not obstructed. I liked being able to maneuver around the griddle CGWM-081 Clermont Pellet Grill & Smoker Cover while cooking. The griddle gets extremely hot, and it’s nice not having to reach over the top of it while cooking.
The lid or cover is made of stainless steel and fits nicely over the cooking surface. A cover comes in very handy when griddle cooking because it allows you to trap additional heat and often helps foods like boneless chicken breasts cook more evenly. Covers are also great for melting cheese and keeping foods warm. This cover is about ten inches tall at the apex and has a round vent with three holes which when open will let steam escape if desired. Of course, a cover is helpful for storing the griddle as well.
