Overview
Despite its outdoor cooker category label, the Cuisinart CGT-301 is a stainless steel grill topper, a perforated 12 by 16 inch tray that sits atop existing grill grates.
Grill toppers solve a common problem: delicate or small foods like shrimp, sliced vegetables or fish that would otherwise fall through standard grill grates. The CGT-301's stainless steel build and 12 by 16 inch size fit that job rather than serving as a standalone cooker.
- Stainless steel grill topper
- 12 x 16 inch cooking surface
Who it's for
Grill owners who want to cook smaller or delicate foods directly over the flame without losing pieces through the grates. Not for anyone looking for a standalone outdoor cooking appliance, since this sits on top of an existing grill.
Pros and cons
- Stainless steel construction resists direct heat
- Keeps small foods from falling through grates
- 12 x 16 inch size fits most standard grills
- Requires an existing grill, not a standalone cooker
- Category label on the listing is misleading
Performance notes
As a perforated stainless steel tray, the CGT-301 sits directly over existing grill grates, letting heat and smoke through while keeping small food pieces from dropping into the fire. Stainless steel also holds up to repeated direct heat exposure better than coated alternatives.
