Powered by Mom Shares her Cuisinart Tabletop Gas Grill & Grill Set Review

I was able to start my summer grilling with the Cuisinart All-Foods 12,000-BTU Gourmet Stainless Steel Tabletop Gas Grill and Stainless Steel Grill Set that they sent me. I love to cook food on the grill, everything just seems to taste better and because any fat is drips off the food it's a healthier way to eat. I'm not one for bbq sauce but I do love use spices yum yum!

We liked the idea of the Cuisinart All Foods Gas Grill because not only does it provide a12,000 BTU stainless steel loop burner, a heat distributing panel, and a porcelain enamel coated cast iron cooking grate it's portable! That's right this awesome grill is compact so it could be used for smaller yards, patios and because it has carry handles we can take it with us to picnics, camping or wherever we want!

As you can see in the picture above it has two side shelves which are quite sturdy. I've put full sized plates on each side and it held them no problem. You'll be able to see in one of my pictures below just how much this grill can hold. One of my favorite things about the Cuisinart Grill besides it's portability is the porcelain enamel coated cast iron cooking grate, it's easy to clean and food cooks on it like a dream. It also came with an tray to use on the grill which I like to use for the meat, especially chicken to help prevent charring with flames.

For such a compact grill there is a lot of grilling surface, you can pretty much cook whatever you want on this handy grill.

To give you an idea of just how much it can hold I of course have to show you a picture with some food on it. The gas is not going yet as taking a picture while the food is cooking is a bit challenging. I didn't want to have smoke in the picture as I want you to see and appreciate how much cooking surface there is on this grill. Those pork chops are big, in fact the one at the end is the size of two pork chops, I could have fit at least two more just on that removable tray. As you can see I als have four foil wrapped potatoes and again there's still lots of room.

With this portable Cuisinart Grill there's no worry about whether or not you have enough room to cook an entire meal for your family, unless you've got a really big family 😉 The All Foods Gas Grill features Cuisinart's unique Versatile Modular Grill Surface system, which is a series of interchangeable specialized grill surfaces suited to frequently grilled foods, such as veggies, breads & pizzas, and delicate foods. The panels mate securely to the cooking surface, yet remove quickly and easily for cleaning and storage. I can attest to the fact as mentioned that the removable plates were very easy to clean, that's just as important to me since I'm the one who usually cleans them.

Below you can see the full size dinner plate I used on the foldable side tray, lots of room for food prep.

Other features you should know about: 

  •  precision temperature gauge
  • Cuisinart TwiStart Ignition system
  • removable drip tray.

Of course grilling would not be complete without a good set of grilling tools and Cuisinart does not disappoint. I love this set and it's the first one I've ever owned that has corn holders, smart move. We all know what it's like to pick up a hot corn on the cob and try it to eat it.

grill tools

I can't believe this is the first set I've had with corn holders, love it. It's made of good quality stainless steel and besides the four corn holders comes with: stainless steel tools includes a Chef's Spatula, Grill Tongs, Silicone Basting Brush, Cleaning Brush, and Extra Cleaning Brush Head. If your'e going to have a top quality portable grill you should also have a top quality grill set!

Both of these Cuisinart items get a two thumbs up for us for quality and practicality, thanks BuyDig!

  22. I love this grill and set! Perfect size for going to the beach! Honestly have been looking for something like this and your review was so thorough! It answered all my questions Michelle! Thank you. I will check out buydig's offer on these products. I love the heavy metal grate on the grill, I never did like the thin aluminum ones.. I would rather cook on cast iron a grill. It gets hotter, holds heat longer and makes better grill markers in my opinion. thanks again!

  25. Thank you for such a fine, thoughtful and informative review! Almost too good ~ since I was kind of half-hoping you'd give me some kind of reason to not want it so much ~ not wanting to splurge and give it to my most deserving Honey/Hubby for Father's Day! But EVERYTHING about this grill is, well, PERFECT ~ and just what we need/want...

    I should add that I have been using Cuisinart products ever since they first came out in the USA with their AMAZING Cuisinart Food Processor: I had just started my own tiny fledgling catering business and my Dad gave it to me as a "business warming gift."

    I have used and loved MANY MANY Cuisinart products since then/over the years and have never been disappointed in one! If I can swing it financially ~ I'd love to give this wonderful him (us) very versatile grill.

  28. What a great grill! I like the fact that it's portable but holds a lot of food and that the racks are easy to clean. This is important as hubby tends to make a big mess grilling and, like you, I am the one stuck with the clean up. I think this grill would be perfect for our family.

  30. Oh, we could really use this. Our old faithful grill finally bit the dust and I have been craving some burgers on the grill.

  32. This portable grill looks perfect to take when we go on a picnic. I love the tools kit too. Cuisinart makes quality products.

  33. That is so nice! I guess one can expect Cuisinart to put out great products, but usually portable grills are not the best. This one looks durable, and I love that there is still a lot of grill space.

    Reply
  34. I love how you showed the food on the grill to give a more accurate view of it's size. This would be so awesome for all of our camping trips!

  36. I love that it comes with a cast iron plate and the portability makes it an extra plus! Interchangeable specialized grill surfaces makes it more convenient to cook different goodies. This is defiantly a grill I would purchase for the family it’s convenient, easy to handle and includes a good amount of options. Thank you for sharing your review and experience using this Cuisinart Tabletop Gas Grill.

  42. Thanks for the helpful review. Cuisinart makes great appliances! I have a Cuisinart indoor grill that I love and use often, but I would love an outdoor grill by Cuisinart to use on my deck. The fact that the tools come in a case makes them so easy to store.

  43. Great review! It was nice to know that this grill will work in small yards since mine isn't very big. Thanks!

  47. I like that she used a lot of photos, was detailed and even placed a dinner sized plate on the side table to show how large it is. That was one of our issues with our last one was that we didn't feel we had a lot of room on the side of it.

  48. She did an excellent job of reviewing the grill and tools. I learned and love that it has a drip pan. She loves that the tool set has corn on the cob holders.....her first set ever with.

  58. This grill set is exactly what I need in my backyard right now. I love that it's a gas grill because my boyfriend doesn't like the other kind.

    Reply
  59. I like that the grill has removable plates for washing. Sometimes large grills are really hard to wash so this is the perfect size. I like the compact size so that it could be stored inside during the winter. I hate having a grill sit outside on the patio when I'm not using it for months at a time during the winter. The grill tools look great and I'm sure they make grilling easier.

    Reply
  60. This is the perfect size grill for when it is only my son & I cooking. No need to get out the big grill. Also if it is raining, we could use this on the porch. Love it!

  61. WOW! Thanks for the Terrific Review on Cuisinart Tabletop Gas Grill & Grill Set Review! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for!!!!! We had a table top gas grill which we used when we were in the RV (We cooked outside but kept the grill on the RV) and it is really small but did the job! We’ve used this grill for years and it finally just gave up with all the cooking we did on it! We’ve been looking around for a bit bigger one but still a tabletop and gas. This one is absolutely perfect! I love the amount of food that can be cooked on this grill, I love the side panels which can hold a big dish, and that this is a Cuisinart which is a wonderful name! Thanks so much for sharing your fantastic review, all the wonderful pictures, and your personal and professional information on Cuisinart Tabletop Gas Grill & Grill Set Review with all of us! You know that I honestly do appreciate it! Thanks again!! Michele 🙂

  72. My husband needs a new grill. We just have one that you have to use charcoal and start it yourself. I don't use it but he loves to grill and I think we would do it more if he had a gas grill. He loves the taste of food on the grill and it is healthier because all the fat drips off. Great for summer outings!

  73. I like this it looks small, yet cooks a good amount of food. This would be perfect for grilling out on the porch.
