Customer Review: Healthy Timesaver - Easy Cleanup
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a countertop appliance freak, and I love this grill! Unlike most of the other grills I've used, the plates come off in a snap for easy cleaning. You can soak them in hot sudsy water, or you can put them in the dishwasher. They never need to be scrubbed, because they have a nonstick surface, which is much more durable than most of the nonstick surfaces I've encountered. However, you should never use abrasives, you don't need to because most stuff just rinses right off. When you use the grill, you preheat it with the timer, which is also the on/off control for five minutes, so it's nice and hot when you put the meat, veggies, or chicken on it. It's great for stir frying, just chop the veggies and spray them with cooking spray and put the lid down for a couple of minutes. If you're doing meat, fish or chicken with the veggies, put the meat, sprayed with cooking spray, on first, wait a couple minutes and then put the veggies in. The grill is large enough for a lot of food. It does great grilled veggies. And because it's covered when it cooks on both sides, there is no grease spatter! Nothing messy to clean up afterwards. And, if you pour a small amount of water over the hot grill after removing the food, and use the little grooved paddle supplied with the machine to sweep the drippings into the removable drip tray, (which is part of the appliance and not detached from it unless you want it to be), you have makings for a gravy if you so desire. Since we are calorie concious, we usually pour the drippings into our dog's dry food and does he ever love that! He's smart enough to know when we are cooking on the grill, and so he gets all excited! Once in a while we splurge and put it over our rice, and then the poor doggie has none! I can cook two large whole trouts, seasoned and stuffed with lemon slices in just a few minutes. The timer is a real safety feature, if you get distracted from cooking, instead of burning, your meal automatically turns off at the time you set and the residual heat keeps it warm until you are ready to eat it. The variety of foods you can cook on this machine is amazing! I have cooked hamburgers, eggplant, whole chicken pieces, fish, roasted/grilled vegetables, cut up meats, and seafood for fahitas and stir fry, and bacon and sausage with no spatter, liver and bacon and onions, the list goes on and on and no burning! This is one of those appliances I just couldn't live without after using it. If it died tomorrow I would have to replace it right away, but since it has a 2 year guarantee, no problem. I don't understand the reviewer who said she couldn't take it apart for cleaning. Maybe she didn't read the instructions. I have also cooked plenty of steaks, pork chops, etc with bones with no problems, so I don't understand her review at all.
