Cuisinart CB-30P1
Score: 64/100
Blackstone Tabletop Griddle 1666
Score: 80/100Rankings
The Blackstone 1666 22" tabletop griddle offers a spacious cooking surface and 24,000 BTU of power via two independent burners, making it ideal for feeding groups outdoors. Its need for an external propane source and relatively heavy build can hinder ultra-light backpacking scenarios. Best suited for campers, tailgaters, and patio chefs who value high output and portability without requiring a self-contained fuel system.
The Cuisinart CB-30P1 is a portable electric hot plate featuring a powerful 1300 W cast-iron cooking surface and six temperature settings, ideal for supplemental cooking in small spaces. Its relatively heavy build and limited cookware size restrict its use for true backpacking or large-pot cooking. Best suited for dorm rooms, RVs, or patio countertops where a compact, high-heat electric source is needed.
