 Great Panini Grill December 31, 2008

I've been shopping for a Panini grill for quite some time...most are too small. This one has a large enough surface to get four panini (depending on size) on at once. I found the heat distribution even and have been satisfied with the overall results. A couple things I don't like. When I pick it up by the handle, the drip tray always falls out...an inconvenience since I don't plan on using it as a grill anyway. Also, When closing the lid I find I need to find a way to put additional pressure on it to get the desired pressed sandwich results. I think some kind of lock that would hold the lid down in a desired position would help with the overall design. I find this unit easy to clean, just wipe it out. Remember though, I only use it as a panini maker, not an indoor grill so my evaluation does not look at it from that perspective.
 Not for People Who Really Enjoy Food December 28, 2008

I bought this grill so that I may be able to grill indoors. Of course I was not expecting anything like an outdoor gas grill (and especially not a charcoal grill). I previously had an old George Foreman grill that was so ridiculously difficult to clean that I refused to bother with it and gave it away. This one, I must admit, is remarkably easy to clean. It's so easy to clean that I feel guilty when I put the removable trays in the dishwasher. HOWEVER, the cooking quality leaves much to be desired. I have tried cooking steaks and boneless chicken breasts with it. When I opened up the grill after the recommended time and temperature, I completely lost my appetite. It makes beautiful grill marks where it comes in contact, but the rest of the meat is pale and incredibly unappealing, even though obviously cooked through. I cooked both the steaks and the chicken breasts more than recommended, and it made the grill marks more charred, but the rest of it was still unappealing. I was hoping the steak would have a nice crispy outer char, with a juicy inside. It was certainly not at all dried out, but it tasted as what I would imagine a "steamed" steak to taste -- with pretty char lines though. I think you get my point... The chicken breasts were even less appealing. I had marinated them in Stubbs, and planned on serving them as is. They were so disgusting in appearance that I had to brush them lightly with BBQ sauce just to give them some semi-appealing color. Again, like the steak, they did not have that crispy outer layer and juicy inner - they also tasted as if they were steamed (or "nuked"), but with pretty char lines. I'm going back to a cast iron grill pan (with ridges) that I put over my stove burner, and later have to soak to clean, as well as have to clean a really horrible mess on the stovetop. That is what I would recommend for anyone who would be interested in using this thing for meat - I personally don't think I'll ever dare chance destroying meat on it again. The one culinary saving grace that I have discovered is that it does do an EXCELLENT job on Panini. In my opinion, I think that is the only thing this would be good for, and it is far too expensive a contraption to be used only for Panini.
Amazing product November 20, 2008

I recently purchased this item from Amazon.com. I have wanted one for months (I have tried many others that were junk). When it finally arrived it had scratches on the top and a small dent in the front chrome. The handle was ill fitting and it was obvious that it was ground down to fit the right side. The plastic underpart had small chunks broken out of it. All of this was done BEFORE ever being packed. Typical Chinese quality! That said: The temperature and timer markings are small and hard to read. The knobs are kludgy and hard to grasp. HOWSOMEVER! It cooks just near perfectly. I am truly amazed at the non-stick coating; all you need is a little warm water and a few swipes with a sponge and the grills are perfectly clean. I have never seen a product like it before. I think they said the coating is made by GE. Would I recommend it: A qualified -- YES but the price should be somewhat lower. At least it isn't obscene like that Cusinart junk is. That is another story. This grill replaces a Cusinart!!
