Hamilton Beach 25361 Indoor Grill

This is exceeds my expectations. It is very easy to assemble out of the box and very easy to clean.It grills steak quickly on the sear setting and achieves a med rare,juicy steak with nice grill marks and no smoke which is why I bought it. I have tried many types of indoor grills in the past and this is by far the best!

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 to grill or turn on the broiler. Easy to clean up after wuth a brush made for Teflon grills, (Oxo has a good one). Only drawback is the only way to turn it off is to unplug. But to me that's no biggie. All in all I highly recommend this for anyone that wants to grill meats for 2 - 4 people.

Well, I'm sold!I was cooking my dinner within 10 minutes of unpacking this!I had everything prepped and ready-to-go, I was waiting for the Amazon driver to show up, SOOOOO hungry but darn it, I was so excited to use my new grill!Then, IT happened! The buzzer rang!"HE'S HERE!" I yelled to no one...I tore that box open, I got a paper cut, but screw it, let the blood flow! I was hungry!I washed my new grill. I made sure she was clean and shiny. She was.She's so easy to put together. Only 4 pieces and they all go together like they were made for each other! Wait...I plugged her in. I turned the dial. I got the chicken out of the fridge. I got the veggie skewers out. All was perfect. The brown and wild rice pilaf was cooking in the air fryer. Life was beautiful.Then, I heard it. A quiet little "click". No, not really a "click", more of a "clunk", I guess. That's okay, it was the sound of my grill being READY. She was heated up.I got the tongs. I got the first piece of marinated, de-boned chicken thigh. I placed it gently on the grill. "SIZZLE!" it shrieked to me. "Ssshhhhh" I said gently. "It's okay. This is how it's supposed to be."The chicken responded by quieting down and welcoming the second piece, which also gave a little vocalization of hesitant fear, or was it delight? I like to think it was delight. Yes. Sweet, gentle delight.After letting them relax and bask in their juicy, tasty, juicy-tastiness for a while, I then added their new friends, the veggie skewers. Ah, yes. The skewers. No, no, the skewers were not for eating! The skewers were the mere presenters of the beautiful vegetables impaled upon them.The peppers, both red and green, the mushrooms, peeled lovingly, the onion layers, the carrot slices, the celery pieces, the garlic grated over this beauty and drizzled with olive oil, then lightly dusted with salt and pepper. My God, what a meal.But the grill! How did it do? You're thinking, this woman has had too much to drink! Ah, but no.This is just a really good grill. You should buy one. Everything cooked perfectly. Browned nicely. No smoking!

Llegó en tiempo y forma , es más grande lo que pensé , pero está súper padre , es fácil de usar , trae un termómetro que te avisa cuando ya está la carne , y tiene una charola para que no se moje si la carne se escurre , se lo regale a mi mamá y está feliz con su parola , la carne queda súper suave !

I was looking for a compact electric grill for my condo as it does not allow open flame or charcoal. My main criteria was grill size, smoke-less (not entirely smokeless without being $$$), and ease of cleaning. This one has great reviews so decided to go with this.My only negative so far is the cord is way too short. I had to use an extension cord to reach my outlet.While heating the grill, in the drip tray I layered aluminum foil and put a bit of water in. I read this assisted with cleanup.My first attempt was cooking some chicken skewers and burgers. The cooking time definitely takes longer depending on the cut/thickness of meat. With the lid open I noticed certain parts of the chicken was not being cooked evenly, so I made sure to close the lid. After 10 minute's cooking time the chicken had reached temperature and was cooked. There was very little to no smoke, I would say it is more steam. So far so good.What I really wanted to test was making marinated shortribs, similar to Korean kalbi. I was afraid the marinade would produce alot of smoke and splatter but to my surprise it wasnt too bad. I followed another user's advice for marinades and put the grill under my exhaust . The food came out perfectly cooked around 3 minutes each side, nice grill marks and left little mess compared to using a pan. My unit smelled amazing from the meat, without the greasy smokey feeling. Another success.Cleanup was ok. Soaked in water and used a soft scrubber on the grill. The first time cleaning is fine but I'm curious to see how long the nonstick coating will last.Overall I would recommend this grill.
