Cuisinart CGG-403 3-in-1 Grill, Griddle and Pizza Oven, Stainless Steel

I have wanted a pizza oven for ages. They were all too expensive til this one came along. I love the pizza stone and it gets very hot. Pizza's in 8 minutes! And fun to make your own. Yes there are hot spots which I imagine they all have so you have to rotate the pizza. But the crust comes out crispy and delicious. I use a pre-made crust because it is easier but get very creative on the cheese and toppings. Haven't used the grill or griddle yet but they seem heavy duty which is needed for those items. I LOVE it!

I love the features this has... I've been wanting a pizza oven and the pizza was great! I couldn't wait to make my own smash burgers and YUMM. I just grilled up some brats tonight on it. The versatility it great!

The media could not be loaded. My neighbor has one of these, and he was telling us about how great it was. I shopped around for this to buy for my husband for Christmas. Amazon had the best price on it, and I am paying for it without interest for 6 months! This is not only a grill, but it is a Pizza Maker too. We made several Pizza's until we got it down. It makes a thin and crispy pizza just as we like! We have also cooked great steaks on it.

Not all modes work as good.Pizza oven: 4 starsThis is the best mode but not as good as a dedicated pizza oven. Typical of using a pizza stone that is close to the same size as the pizza the heat rise around the edges of the stone. Standard 12" frozen pizza on 13" stone. The edges of the pizza will cook much faster and get crisper than the center. Also, it is a cheaper ceramic stone and not the more durable cordierite one. Still, it is a standard size and easily replace when it breaks.Grill: 3 starsIt is OK for a really hot grill but cannot be turned down much. This is a single burner unit. It is sized for the pizza oven mode but it too large for a low temperature grill. The flame spreader does a reasonable job but there are still some hot corners.Griddle: 1 starThe griddle has a rough surface. Everything sticks to it. Bacon is OK but forget trying to do eggs. All is not lost. It has a rough surface coating but under it is a nice piece of cast iron. I used a quick strip disk and got off most of the coating. An orbital sander got rid of what was left behind. A Dremel tool took care of the corners. The surface has raised letters labeling the back side. They really catch all kinds of sticky stuff and cannot be cleaned. I sanded them smooth. With some work and typical conditioning for a cast iron cookware it came out really nice. Maybe a lot of work.One thing that cannot be fixed easily it the drain hole in front. As others have noted it is like trying to work around a blow torch. Very, very dangerous. The griddle is made to drain through the hole and drip into the bottom of the grill. The sheet metal is folded to direct it to a hole over a grease cup. It is a real pain to clean out afterward (as others have noted). There are 2 holes but the rear one is not over the grease cup. I am going to put the griddle in with the hole to the back. I am going to try and make a piece of foil to catch the drip and guide it to the hole. I will probably have to put a larger grease cup under it. I give myself a 50/50 chance.Portability and Weight.You would think as a tabletop unit it would be somewhat portable. It is not even close. In total it very heavy. The grill and griddle are heavy cast iron. Along with the pizza stone are more than half the weight. I got a bag for a Camp Cheff griddle for them. Griddle Carry Bag, Mediumhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B099WPWH7N?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsI got another bag for the unit itself. DURASACK Heavy Duty Home and Yard Waste Bag 48-Gallon Woven Polypropylene, with Reinforced Carry Handles.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092Z8MLR5?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsIt is big and bulky but just about the right fit. The unit really is that big. The size is what you pay for the unit being very stable.You will probably need a stand for it. Make sure it is big enough to handle the size and strong enough to handle the weight. I put it at the end of standard all wood 6 foot picnic table. It fits well but takes up almost half the table. I do not think it would be safe on some of those light weight picnic tables.

We love this pizza oven! Use it at least once a week for pizza night. Makes great pizza, very quickly. Only problem we had is when we received it a few months ago the grate that holds the pizza stone in place was broken. But it was a straight break and when we placed it in place it still held the stone in place.I haven't used the grill feature but maybe we will try it. We got it as I was house sitting for a friend and they had one. I used it and loved it. We had a link but my family didn't like it as it always charred the top of the pizza too much

This works great! Steaks, burgers, bacon, pancakes, pizzas. There's no limit to what you can do with this. It's solidly built, but not too heavy to take to the picnic.

We love this thing. Got it for for Christmas 2023 to make home-made pizza at home. We soon fell in love with it and the versatility it offers with the additional grill and griddle options that we decided to take it camping with us summer 2024 and leave our heavier and bulkier 17" Blackstone griddle at home. Bought the Cuisinart cover for it, which fits it perfectly and stays on thanks to the Velcro tie downs. We're now camping and so glad we have this, as we will use it more than we did the Blackstone. This is a great product.

Works great heating is very fast .I. need to try the pizza oven .The times I have used its perfect . I wish that It would have handles to move around but it gets the job done and easy to clean ,it’s a great size to travel and store away.
