To put a positive spin on a design flaw, the airflow of this grill was actually improved when the wind picked up. We had difficulty, time-and-again, with the Cuisinart Portable smothering coals due to the lack of well-designed ventilation. But on windy days, we noticed that air was pushed up through the bottom vents, effectively stoking the coals and increasing the time we were able to keep this grill hot. As we mentioned above, heat retention is not this grill’s forté, so don’t expect that to improve when grilling out in the wind. The grill surface is a standard, chrome-plated grate, that was relatively easy to scrub clean after each meal. The dome-shaped lid is big enough to accommodate covered grilling of larger portions, but with the relatively weak output power, we wouldn’t suggest loading this grill up.
In addition, Cuisinart has a long-standing history of receiving prestigious design awards for a wide range of items. The Grilluminate Light offers a unique expanding feature that will deliver the light exactly where you need it. No problem — just compact the light and you cuisinart griddler elite will get a very focused beam. Also not a problem — simply expand the sides and you’ll be casting light from side to side across any grill surface. Sometimes the environment doesn’t cooperate and it gets a little dark out there when there’s still grilling to be done.
