This is an excellent grill. It is less expensive and just as good as the George Foreman, maybe better. The non-stick surface seems nicer than the GF Grill. Excellent buy. Excellent bargin. Worth the money. | 5 | 747 days ago | Rival to the Champ, Boss to the Foreman
This grill seems inspired by the smallest George Foreman grill, the "Champ." But there are some significant differences: (1) The Champ has a square grilling surface. This one's is oval, with perhaps a slightly smaller area.
<br />
<br />(2) The Champ has an open front, with a separate little splash tray that's supposed to catch drippings. This grill has a lip surrounding most of the front, except for a 2" well that drains into an integrated drippings drawer. (3) The Champ is tilted forward to force liquids to drain out. This grill is basically level, with drip channels.
<br />
<br />So I bought this one, which seems less messy -- especially for gooey stuff like cheese panini -- and more flexible. If you block the well with a strip of cardboard, you can even use it to cook omelettes or a kind of waffles. The only downside to the lipped front (vs. the Champ) is that you need to scoop veggies off the grill, rather than simply dragging them out the front. There is no timer or on/off switch -- you just plug/unplug it.
<br />
<br />The upper plate floats maybe about 1" above the lower plate. If you want to press thicker panini, consider the Hamilton Beach 25450 Panini Press, available on Amazon for about 2-1/2x the price. It similarly doubles as a contact grill, but it's larger in all dimensions, with about 3"-4" of vertical float. (Its plates have pinstripe ribbing, though, so don't try using it for eggs or waffles.) Or the similar Breville SG620XL, which has flat plates that can be used for fried eggs or pancakes. | 5 | 747 days ago | I love this Grill!
I bought this grill because it fit my budget. It fits 4 premade frozen hamburger patties but I can get 5 on of my home made patties. I love best that I can put it on the low setting and cook a frozen skinless chicken breast in 20 min. I make fajita's, grill vegies, it is a great appliance I use it almost daily durring the winter when its snowing and I cant BBQ outside. Its easily cleaned too, I just put it in the sink while its still warm and use my sprayer to spray the grill plate, then just wipe with a sponge and a little soap. Hint** save old soup cans for the grease cuz theres alot of it! Happy Healthy Eating! | 5 | 747 days ago | Doesn't Work
Just got it a couple of days ago, and tryed it out today..........Nothing happens, didn't even get warm. Called Hamilton Beach Customer Service, and they advised me to return it to the store.. Of course I bought it on line, so now comes the hassle of returning it to Target...I'm sure it's probably a good product, but I wouldn't reccommend it. Like a dummy I thru out the box, So I might as well dump the item also....I guess that's to be expected when you spend so little for an appliance
<br />H.B. Specion | 1 | 747 days ago | Small but effective
This grill has a smaller surface than the smallest Foreman, but so far everything I have wanted to grill has fit (steak of any size might be a problem). Fat drainage is far better than the Foreman, with the little drawer beneath catching the drippings. I don't find this any easier to clean, though (too bad the grill parts aren't removable). Only real complaint is that the drippings drawer is not in any way attached to the grill, so when you pick it up to remove it from a cupboard to use it, or to return it to the cupboard, you have to grab it in such a way to hold the drawer in place (or go back to get the drawer separately). Can't imagine why they didn't include some slides on the side to hold the drawer up with the unit. Otherwise, a nice little grill. Certainly well worth the price. | 4 | 747 days ago |
