Product Description
-------------------
Cuisinart's Outdoor Electric Grill with VersaStand integrated
adjustable telescoping base provides authentic grilling
performance and flavor. Its small format fits easily on balconies
and small patios - great for places that propane or charcoal
grills aren't allowed. And although the grill is compact, its
ample cooking grate is large enough to cook most family meals - 8
steaks, 8 hamburgers, 6 - 10 chicken s, or over 4 lbs. of
fish! The grill heats up very quickly, and reaches temperatures
high enough to sear a steak to perfection. The novel VersaStand
telescoping base quickly transforms the grill from storage to
op to floor standing use, allowing the chef to enjoy
grilling at a comfortable height. The stand is integrated into
the grill for added convenience - making easy to store when
finished. The grill plugs into a standard household electrical
receptacle.

The Advantage of Electric Grilling
----------------------------------
Traditional and charcoal grills offer a wide variety of
styles and designs--from large multi-burner grills with
built-in islands to barrel-like charcoal grills--but sometimes
prove to be too large, too intimidating, or too inconvenient for
would-be outdoor chefs. While grills are certainly handy,
some people find it discomforting and dangerous to cook with
propane. Charcoal grills, while perhaps less intimidating, take
considerable time to light and prepare, and can be messy to clean
up afterward. Plus, some apartments and condos ban the use of
propane or charcoal altogether.
Electric grills minimize all of the above concerns, with
instant-on controls, easy-to-clean designs, and no smelly or
messy charcoal to get in the way of your cooking.
Familiar, Easy-to-Use Controls
------------------------------
The grilling process begins with the easiest fuel source you can
find--a simple cord and outlet--along with a removable electric
probe with a control knob that functions just like the knobs on
most kitchen stoves. To get started, just plug the probe into the
front of the grill and turn the knob to "Max." Within five
minutes, the heating element will be glowing a toasty red and the
grill will be ready for cooking. When you're finished grilling,
the knob turns off just as easily. And cleanup couldn't be
easier, as the porcelain-enameled grill grate cleans with a
standard grill brush or removes for washing in an indoor or
outdoor sink.
Powerful Grilling Performance
-----------------------------
The Cuisinart electric grill cooks up juicy steaks, burgers, and
fish just like a grill thanks to the powerful 1,500-watt,
5,120 BTU burner, which spreads heat quickly and evenly through
the 145-square-inch grill grate. The compact design produces a
greater watt-to-square-inch ratio, leading to higher temperatures
on the grate and better, more uniform cooking for your food. In
addition, the grill includes a stainless-steel heat reflector in
the lid. This extra layer not only acts as an insulator for
trapping heat inside the grill, but actually reflects rising heat
inside the grill back onto the top surfaces of your food,
reducing cooking times and saving electricity. All of this
translates into searing hot temperatures and prefect grill lines
on everything you cook.
Despite the compact size, the grilling surface is large enough to
grill eight burgers, eight stakes, six to 10 chicken s, or
up to 4 pounds of fish.
Quick, Efficient Setup
----------------------
The electric grill not only shines when it's loaded with food,
but also when you're on the move, as the grill is a breeze to
transport, set up, and store. The grill includes the thoughtfully
designed VersaStand, an easy-to-use, easy-to-set-up grill stand
that keeps the grill at a comfortable cooking height. The
VersaStand sets up and packs away in seconds, giving you more
time to enjoy the event and less time worrying about the hassles
of putting your barbecue together. In fact, the grill and stand
are so convenient to transport, carry, and set up, you won't
think twice about tossing it in the trunk of your car.
The VersaStand comes integrated into the base of the grill, with
a set of telescoping poles that smoothly collapse for easy
storage. When you're ready to grill, simply push the button on
each VersaStand leg to release the telescoping legs, and then
lift up the grill box. Once the two legs drop into position,
you'll have a sturdy grill that stands at an ideal grilling
height. No more breaking your back bending over a grill that sits
mere inches off the ground. And when you're finished grilling,
the stand collapses as easily as it sets up, making it easy to
pack up your stuff. The grill also includes a secure front lid
lock, which keeps the lid safely closed when you're on the move,
and a pronounced carrying handle that lets you tote the 17-pound
grill just like a briefcase.
