To clean the griddle, you’ll need a scraper, plenty of paper towels, water, and a cotton towel or rag. Before using the griddle, you have to season the 22-inch cooking surface. The process itself is easy, albeit a little time-consuming. The video below will show you what you need and how to season the griddle.
The CGG-999 stands on lockable casters, so it’s easy to move around when the urge strikes you. The Cuisinart 360 Griddle Cooking Center measures approximately 40 inches deep by 32 inches wide by 44 inches high and weighs about 60 pounds. Four wheels, two with locks, make it relatively easy to move the griddle.
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.
The round shape of the Cuisinart 360 has a rolled infinity edge where food scraps, oils, liquids, and other debris can be scraped off the sides. The waste is caught in a 360-degree grease pan with a grease cup located in the rear. You have to be diligent about staying on top of cleanup both during the cook and when the meal is done. The grease pan has a smooth coating that makes it easy to wipe with a paper towel.
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 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.
