About - Minden Master Grill

The Minden Master Grill is part of the gas grill test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, gas grill models like the Master Grill are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.


Low temp performance:
Combines the evenness of heating over the grill's surface at the low setting (using thermocouples) and the models ability to cook chicken and fish on the gril at that setting without burning the food.

High temp evenness:
Evenness of heating over the grill's surface at the high setting, using thermocouples.

Indirect cooking:
This indicates how well the grill will slow cook foods when only some of the burners are on and the food isn't placed directly over the flame.

Comment:
Minden makes a great grill but I was surprised at the parts that would be and are subject to rust not made with either aluminum or stainless. The outside is a porcelin type paint which is good but the inside are ordinary steel which rusts too quickly for a grill costing this much.
