Hamilton Beach Electric Indoor Searing Grill With Lid & Viewing Window

I've owned this little kitchen helper about a year and a half now. After much trial and error on my side, i finally figured out how to cook a ribeye on it and decided it was time to let others know that this small grill is a work horse. I don't use it daily, i'd say i bring it out about 1-2 x per month. The sear feature i believe gets up to 450 degrees - this is needed in some cases. There was one incident in which i thought it broke, but it was truly user error. I put hamburgers on there before the grill got hot and they got stuck. I decided not to give up and tried again and it worked as new

So far all I've cooked is chicken breasts, pork chops and burgers but they have come out perfect every time! I absolutely love this grill. The temp gauge seems to be pretty spot on. It's sear function works great and the next temp down is 450° then 350° and so on. The meats retain their juices and can be easily monitored by a good digital thermostat. The cooking times suggested on the directions are pretty accurate, nothing over or undercooked yet. I've encountered next to no smoke and just use my kitchen fan and crack a kitchen window a bit. I bought this mainly because it can be too hot out

I've used this several times now and so far I am really loving it. As far as cleaning, I find it VERY easy to clean, I've used sticky BBQ sauce and sweet and sour sauce on different items I've cooked, and when I'm done cooking, I take all 4 parts, grill plate, cover, drip tray and bottom to the sink and spray the grill and top cover with my sink sprayer under hot water and everything just washes off quickly, the 4 sections actually comes apart which makes this extremely easy to clean. I have only hand washed everything so far using hot, soapy water with my handmade dishcloths that are made fro

I am no griller and have no grill master title or skills. In fact, this grill I'd consider to be my intro into grilling. But, as someone who LOVES grilled food, I must say this does the job.I've included many pics. I can't stand the 1 pic reviews and you don't know what the item could look like.The box arrived and there were 3 pieces - the grill hood, the grill plate, the grill bottom - with a how-to manual. The well sized drip tray was already attached. It took less than 5 minutes to put together.I was pretty impressed with the grill. To be turned on, you must plug it in. The red POWER light

I am a HUGE fan of QUALITY products and this indoor grill fits that bill. My Husband and I ENJOY having a GOOD steak or burger once in a while and we only "fire up" our VERY LARGE outdoor charcoal grill during the summer season. We have owned an indoor grill from a well known brand for years...However, it tends to "char" the food BEFORE it's fully cooked because it DOES NOT have a temperature control setting. This leads to "dryness" of the meat.Though, I liked that our OLD grill had removable plates that I could clean in the dishwasher, the fact that I could NOT control the temperature always

I cook for a family of four on this grill. It works very well. It heats thoroughly and evenly. When this one goes, I will definitely be purchasing another one.

Viewing Window: The viewing window allows you to monitor your food as it cooks without having to open the grill lid, which helps maintain consistent cooking temperatures and prevents heat loss. Definitely needs to be wiped down after every use but works well to keep an eye on your dinner while it cooks.Removable Nonstick Plate: The nonstick plate is not only convenient for easy cleaning but also ensures that your food won't stick during the grilling process. Plus, the fact that it's removable makes cleanup less of a pain in the neck.Searing Capability: The searing feature is a standout, allowi

Excellent grill for family of two. It was getting to be too much trouble to heat up a grill when I am only cooking for two people. But we missed the grilled steak, chicken, burgers, hotdogs, etc. This grill has put that pleasure back into our lives. It was easy to assemble and worked awesome the very first time. I am not sure what people were saying about smoke, because I did not experience that at all. I did use in on my stovetop, so that any smoke would go up the vent, but I honestly did not see any. So far, we have loved everything I have made on this grill. Highly recommend.
