Cuisinart 3-in-ane Stainless Gas Grill Review & Giveaway

Later a solid week of every day cooking, this is our review of the Cuisinart 3-in-1 Stainless 5-Burner Gas Grill (model GAS9556AS).

The Cuisinart grill came unassembled, and so it took about 20 minutes with basic tools to get together.
PRO: It came together easily, and solidly. The parts are sturdy and solid. No wobbling after assembly (I've had that issue with other self-assembly grills).

Information technology's a handsome medium sized grill, 55″ broad with 435 foursquare inches of cooking expanse. There are 5 burners.

CON: It doesn't come with a grill cover, nosotros had to purchase that separately via Amazon (We bought this ane for $24 and information technology fit perfectly.)

PRO: A workspace table and hooks for towels and tools. Notwithstanding, you'll have to loop cord through the end of your tools in order to hook. The hook is knobby and thick, too big and too short to hang well-nigh BBQ tools.

PRO: I love that it comes with cast iron grates for improve, more even cooking. Other grills twice every bit expensive simply come with standard stainless grates (and you accept to buy the cast iron separately, which is very pricey). I rubbed a flake of oil on the grates to flavour earlier first cook.

Throughout our examination, nosotros grilled steaks, craven kabobs and smoked some chicken.

PRO: The window in front allows you to monitor your cooking progress without opening the lid. This is a big plus – every fourth dimension you open the chapeau, y'all lose heat. The window is appliance-grade, so heat loss is minimal (similar to your oven).

PRO: A griddle comes included with the Cuisinart 3-in-1 Gas Grill (it stores by hanging on the left side of grill, under the work table). We use this to cook hashbrowns, bacon, burgers.

CON: The griddle sits up a little too high, and information technology took a long time to rut up.

PRO: We honey having an extra cooking burner on the side. It kept our kitchen cool by doing all the cooking exterior.

PRO: The Cuisinart 3-in-i Gas Grill heats evenly left to right. The grill pre-heats very quickly and maintains a steady temperature. Food cooked evenly in direct and indirect cooking.

CON: I'm not a fan of how the grill ignites. You lot push button and slightly plough a knob…wait for 3-5 seconds (while the propane gas releases), than turn the knob a fiddling farther to ignite. It took me a flake to get used to the right timing.

PRO: The Cuisinart 3-in-one Gas Grill comes with a smoker tube (which stores past hanging nether the burner). Nosotros soaked wood ch9ps for 20 minutes then filled the tube.

Lift upwardly the grill grate and insert the tube. Uncomplicated.

After a few minutes, the wood chips will start smoking.

Let'southward smoke some chicken!

PRO: I can't tell y'all how much I beloved having the viewing window. I'm a command freak when information technology comes to cooking and I need to run into what'due south going on with my food!

Nosotros smoked the chicken at 275F for about 2 hours, and so cranked up the heat to crisp up the peel.

PRO: Having the smoker integrated with a grill allows you to smoke low 'northward wearisome…and and then jack upwardly the fire to finish cooking. The event was a beautifully smoked bird.

Super moist. Perfect.

CON: There's a lot of open up space in the dorsum of the grill. I felt like a lot of the smoke escaped through the back.

PRO: Consumer Reports rated this Cuisinart three-in-1 Gas Grill high (y'all'll have to be a member to access their review). Overall, this is an excellent mid-sized grill that includes a griddle, a smoking tube and an outside burner. Information technology's a great bargain for $349 (run into Cuisinart's website for list of retailers). All the accessories shop neatly. The grill construction materials are high quality. Add a $24 weatherproof grill embrace and yous're all ready.
