About - Napoleon Prestige P500

The Napoleon Prestige P500 is part of the gas grill test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, gas grill models like the Prestige P500 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.
