The manufacturing process also prevents warping and delivers consistent heat distribution. Again, the ranges are dishwasher safe and can withstand temperatures up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Safe to use with metal utensils, the ranges are durable with stainless steel rivets and have stainless steel magnetic base usable on all heat sources.

During our peak-power test, this little grill ripped up to an impressive 454℉ right after adding the coals. But after five minutes, the grill surface had decreased to 250℉ — before ten minutes, the coals were completely out.
Uses a standard household receptacle and is UL approved for outdoor use. The Char-Broil Signature Series™ 2-burner gas grill represents convective grilling at its best. With durable stainless steel construction, a removable grease pan for easy clean-up, improved stainless steel burners cuisinart pots and pans set and greater zonal cooking, it’s the perfect match for the master griller.
