Cuisinart has introduced two new appliances for warm-weather entertaining — the FlavorBoost Eight-in-One Outdoor Electric Grill and the FastFreeze Max Ice Cream Maker. These offerings are designed to simplify hosting in small spaces such as balconies, patios, and compact backyards.
Cuisinart's FlavorBoost Eight-in-One Outdoor Electric Grill eliminates the need for propane tanks or lighter fluid, as the appliance can operate on a standard electrical outlet. This will certainly appeal to apartment dwellers or anyone who has ever run out of fuel mid-cookout. Its smoke-on-demand feature allows users to add wood-fired flavor when desired. Beyond grilling, the product can perform air frying, roasting, baking, and dehydrating functions.
The Cuisinart FastFreeze Max Ice Cream Maker, on the other hand, uses a simple approach — freeze the two included one-pint cups for twenty-four hours, then blend ingredients directly in them using one of five preset functions for ice cream, sorbet, milkshakes, slushies, or mix-ins.
