I love this grill! So far I have been grilling burgers and salmon patties, and it works great! Going to use it for grilled chicken and hot dogs as well! It's so convenient and simple to use! Clean up only takes a few minutes, very easy to clean. Just set a damp paper towel on it and let it steam for a little, then the residue wipes right off clean! I just get another paper towel, wet it with a little dish liquid, and easy cleaning! Satisfied with my purchase! Drains a lot of grease and fat too!

I think it is the best purchase since I can prepare everything in it, great

Grill gets hot to sear meats. The high heat is essential for cleaning. Food will stick so use extra oil. The drip cup works great as the grill angle is made to drain. The size is for one meal at one time! Meat and vegetables same time or cook meat then cook vegetables! Hinges do not float so food at the rear get more grill contact than the front. Thin food to the rear! I guess you coukd season grill but not sure it woukd work for the taste of a seasoned grill!

Compared to my previous Grills, the Hamilton Beach Steak Lover's Grill is HEAVEN! I love that I can easily actually set the grill to the internal temperature I want the meat to reach!!! I can also set the grill to first sear the meat and then return reset itself to the internal meat temperature I've requested! I've grilled filet mignon and hamburgers and both meats grilled perfectly as did asparagus. This evening I'm moving up to lobster and shrimp! Frankly, I didn't believe the cleanup method the manufacturer recommended would work, but a wet paper towel steaming in the closed grill accompanied by a quick wipe down really does the trick! This Grill does exactly what you need it to do, first time - every time -- namely cook expensive and inexpensive foods PERFECTLY. Nor does it smoke up the entire house like the Cuisinart I replaced always did.

1. This is a good sized indoor electric grill with a temperature control option (not all grills have). 2.There is a separate power button to turn on and off the grill, temperature setting buttons to set the temperature (max temp 500F) and seer option for steaks. 3. I have also used it as a Panini press too to make my sandwiches grilled. 4. Good for skewered veggies and meat without mess. 5. The oil collecting bin (extra attachment) collects all the excessive fat without making a mess. 6. Easy to clean and handle. Very satisfied with the purchase! Now I can grill my food items more often and quick without any hassle.
