Hell yeah, ultra convenient. I dont have one anymore, but my mom has these pans that do the same thing, only better.

I would have died long ago without one. I think that got me through college more than books did.

Don't like it at all, just another electric POS taking up counter space .... when we grill we use an outdoor unit, even in the dead of winter. I'm not the primary cook (Mrs Point is much better at that than I am ), but I am the primary cleaner-upper and I hated that thing .....

Same here, we do move it into the enclosed part of the porch though.

Actually cleaning up is easy if you do it while it's still hot. Just wipes off with a paper towel. If you wait until it cools, it takes a chisel and ball peen hammer.

Hamburgers are the best on it; add some sliced jalapenos, a dollop of hot mustard and a dash of Worchester to the meat before you form it...ummmm.....better than most road kill

Actually, once I realized what a waste of time it was, we gave it to our son & he loved it

I love me some worchester on me burgers, also with lots of ground black pepper. When I was a kid I went to this hamburger stand, and their burgers had all kinds of black pepper on them, it was one of the best burgers I've ever had, until I made it my own. In these parts I hold title rank of grillmaster.

I use them to make Paninis, quick cook chicken breasts for recipes and for Johnsonville Brats.

Other than that those things cook the flavor and juice right out of things and are a pain if you don't have removable trays.

I've found mine to be great for burgers. I do wish it took up less counter space though.

The only thing I do not like about mine is the grilling surfaces do not come out for easy cleaning. Does make one awesome grilled cheese sandwich.

Its probably more that you like the added taste of charcoal ?

I like them, tho I do end up frying things more often.

This grill has been an invaluable tool in my cooking arsenal. I use it for most everything. Except for when I use a real grill.
