Side by Side Comparison of: Geoge Foreman vs Hamilton Beach

I just got this grill yesterday 3/7/17. I decided to test it out making steak. It was so delicious ! Everyone said the steak had great flavor. The best part was the cleanup was super easy. I just popped off the plates and washed them everything came right off since its nonstick. Definitely would recommend this to everyone

Bought this for both my adult children for Christmas. They have said they use it a lot for sandwiches and for indoor grilling. Both are very satisfied with the ease of use, ease of clean up and the quality of this product. It is not very big so it takes up little space in the cabinet. I get the impression they get a lot of use.

If you've never allowed one of these into your life, well this is the place to start. It's my third favorite kitchen appliance, right behind hot water, and the spatula. This one will take up, say, two-and-a-half times the real estate of a can opener on your workspace, so sorry quesadilla maker, you can wait in the garage until we call you!This model will do 4 smaller burgers at one time, to give you an idea of its' size. Or, you can super-size them and fit two in there comfortably (well, comfort is a relative term, considering the cow is dead, and his meat is sitting on a piping-hot grille rack).It's stupid easy: plug in, stick grease catcher under the front lip, open lid, put burger/chicken//pork/salmon burger on, close lid, maybe flip it over in a few minutes to make sure both sides get seared, then get 'em onto a plate not too long after that. (Also, for the pros: unplug, wash grease catcher, wash removable grill plates, put plates back, close lid, finish watching "Top Chef", go to bed).Oh, and the grease catcher? Drippings are a wonderful way to remind your dog you love him at mealtime...even if you don't respect his arteries - it's grease, yo!

When I saw that the plates are a lot thinner than my old G.F. grill, I thought I might have a problem, but the heat is just as even, and the results are excellent. Using an OXO Good Grips Electric Grill Brush, cleanup is a snap. I'll going to be eating a lot less pizza, now that it's just as easy to grill some meat.

So far so good!!! I love how easy it is to clean. Just pop the grill plates out and wipe them clean. I also bought the special sponges that are specifically made to clean the grill, so that helps. (I havent put them in the dishwasher yet and probably won't). As far as grilling, it does a great job! My meat comes out perfectly every time. I only wish this one had a timer like my last one. And an on/off button couldn't hurt either!

I love this machine the only thing it has been doing is the top plate falls off all the time you go to open it after its hot and the top plate is off and i had it fastened tightly on so working on that problem and I still use it and really love it great for all sorts of meats and foods i even make grilled cheese sandwich in it its great and what is even more great is its healthy to eat food cooked on this machine because the fat drips down and away from your food giving you the healthy food to eat without putting all that fat into your body yay for George foreman!!!! Worth every penny i spent on it it is a keeper!!!!! what is more is it is easy to clean and that I like!!!!

I bought this item because of the reviews. I was kind of skeptical at first, but after using the grill, I really like it. It is a great way to cook meat. It works well on burgers, steaks, and thinner chicken breasts.. The cleanup is a little bit of a bother, but worth it.

This grill is so good. I've had George Foreman grills before, but I like this one better. I love that you can control the temperature. Also, since there are plates on the top and bottom, it makes for faster and even cooking. It's not that hard to clean - I use a grill brush when the plates are still hot and then I'll wipe down with a damp paper towel before I put the grill away. Definitely a great purchase!

This works great. I am in between grills as we have moved but still like a good steak now and then. This was the solution. Its super easy to setup. Some people complain about cleaning but its very easy. Have wet paper towels ready for when your food is done. Wrap food in foil or cover to rest for at least 10 mins. Unplug and places wet paper towels on grill and close. Get more wet paper towels and go back to grill and slide wet towels around with tongs. I have a roll of cheap paper towels so I use as many as I need. Usually about 8 of the half towels and the thing come clean.***update***I have had it for almost 2 years now and still love it. We use it once every week or two. I have made steaks, burgers, chicken cabobs and veggies. All turn out great. The fact that it grills on both sides is a huge advantage. Just set in on and set your timer. I am seriously considering grabbing another one. It always seems that when I find something I like and it works, it gets discontinued.

Awesome! Very good indoor results. I have done NY strips, ribeyes, burgers, and fish. It's a true searing grill. Had the George things and they were easy to clean (dishwasher) but were short lived and not really capable as a searing grill. These grill grates are easy to clean. I saw a review that said put a wet towel in the grill after removing food. I use a triple sheet wet paper towel and just let it cool with the paper towel inside and then just wipe it down. Good to go. But, the grilling results have been amazing. I have a big green egg. It rocks! But when I have a craving and the weather is bad for the BGE, my go-to method is this grill. Great grilled cheese, too!

this is an awesome appliance. I can cook a frozen strip loin right from the freezer to a perfect medium rare in less than 10 minutes!Really easy to wipe clean with a wet paper towel while still hot. Highly recommend for fast even cooking of pork chops, boneless chicken breasts and steaks. I use a electronic temperature probe which I insert into the meat between the grill plates and when it beeps its done perfect every time.

This little gem is better than I had even expected! I have used it for burgers and steaks. This is the next best thing to outdoor grilling. MUCH, MUCH better than George Foreman. I recommend it to anyone who doesnt' wish to grill out in the bad weather. Five minutes and you have a perfectly cooked steak. I use the sear feature and half way through flip the steak over and hit the sear button again so it has criss cross grill marks just like the steakhouse. LOVE the sear feature. Cooked bone-in pork chops and because of the bone, the meat made kind of uneven contact with the grill and didn't cook quite as evenly as boneless, but still turned out okay. A word of advise on clean up. Do NOT follow manufacturer's direction on using a single wet paper towel. I did that and it was a messy time consuuming nusiance to clean and food was cold by the time I got to eat. My method is tons better. Take a thick CLOTH kitchen towel get it good and wet with HOT water. Fold in half so it is double-layered and place on hot grill immediately after removing food. Unplug and simply walk away! I will let it steam for quite a while. Later when you lift up the lid because of the non-stick surface the mess just simply, easily and quickly wipes away after having steamed for some time. No trouble at all. Couldn't possibly been easier. Wish I would have thought of that when I was cleaning my Foreman. Try this method instead of one skimpy paper towel. The manufacturer needs to change the directon on that! Also, the dripcup is a joke.. it doesn't attach and just sits there and easily scoots away from the drip spout to make a mess. It is a mystery why a beautifully designed appliance has this flaw. It is like it was an afterthought. Would have been nice if they had included a recipe booklet as well. Don't let a couple negative things discourage you from buying this.... I recommend it HIGHLY!!!! Try it YOU WILL LIKE IT!!!

I had my old Foreman grill for about 10 years-and it finally died. This grill cooks in about half the time as the old one did . The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that the cord is shorter than the old Foreman. Other than that it cooks thoroughly and quickly and is great for the price

Good but clearly optimized for burgers. Hot dogs want to squirt out the front lip. Does what it claims making quick work of steaks. It would be nice if the temperature could be adjusted but on this model it is plug-and-play - it is either on or off. The plates are removable and come clean in the dish washer.

We have had a large George Foreman grill for several years, but it finally gave up the ghost so I decided to buy my wife another one for Christmas. Our main complaint about the earlier one was that it was too heavy and bulky, so I made a conscious decision to find a smaller one. The GRP360R was smaller and had a number of good reviews, so Santa Claus wound up leaving it under our Christmas tree for her. So far, it's done a good job.Although retailers like Amazon sell a wide variety of grills that bear the "George Foreman" trademark, in actuality, a number of different manufacturers make the various models of these grills. As a result, there are several different models of roughly similar size and with roughly similar design and features, but the exact performance may differ. The GRP360R is manufactured by Black & Decker, which is one reason I selected it. The grill is available in a bright red and, for a higher price, there is a similar model in platinum. Although I would have preferred a less gaudy color, I bought the red grill.Actually, the GRP360R grill has a red cover and a black lower half. As with most Foreman grills, it has two separate grill plates, a stationary lower plate and an upper plate that lowers onto the food, similar to how a waffle iron works. The grill has an adjustable hinge that closes down so that the top plate fits snugly over the food. The GRP360R is described as a four-serving grill, but that’s a bit of an exaggeration. The plates measure approximately 11” by 8”. However, there is a raised barrier just inside the edges of each plate so the actual area available for food measures 9.5” x 7”. A grilling surface that small can’t cook four normal size portions of food, but it can and does cook two hamburgers, chicken breasts, or small steaks or pieces of fish. So, this grill does a far better job of cooking for one or two than for four.The design of the Foreman grill has improved considerably since we got our earlier model. The GRP360R has removable top and bottom plates. They snap out easily by pushing tabs on each side and can be cleaned in a dishwasher (a big improvement over our earlier model). The non-stick coating surface cleans easily, although people should be careful when washing it not to let it come in contact with silverware or other objects that could scratch the surface. The grill does not have an on/off switch; you simply plug it in and it stays on until unplugged. However, it does have two LED lights on top, one to indicate the power is on and the second to indicate that the grill is hot enough to use. As with most Foreman grills, the GRP360R has a bottom plate that slants downward so that grease drains from the tray (it comes with a separate plastic catch tray that fits under it into which the grease can drain. Both top and bottom plates have ridges so that the cooked food has a seared look similar to food cooked on an outdoor grill.We enjoy grilling steaks, burgers, and chicken breasts, and the GRP360R has done a very good job of doing so. With both top and bottom heating elements, food cooks very quickly (5-10 minutes for steaks, depending on how well done you like the meat), and the removable plates are easy to clean, even for baked on gunk like marinade. Meat that’s not well done is quite juicy and tasty, without having to dry it out to remove grease. Plus, with the LED light to indicate when the grill is fully heated, it’s possible to go from start to dishwasher in under 30 minutes if one exercises care (and mitts) in removing the plates. And, with the catch tray and removable grilling plates, cleanup is very easy.All in all, the GRP360R is a substantial improvement over the older model we had. The one real drawback is the rather small grilling area that might mean having to cook single pieces of meat separately for those who like big steaks. However, the removable plates, easy and healthful cooking, and ease of use more than make up for that. The GRP360R grill is a good alternative to grilling in an oven or cooking in a fry pan.

I like this little grill a lot. It cooks the food quickly from both sides and is easy to clean. My only objection is that it's too small to cook 4 hamburgers or 4 grilled cheese sandwiches at the same time.

The removable dishwasher safe are a very good thing. I've spent lots of time scrubbing my older series of George foreman grills. The cooking function is still the same although I must say the I prefer steaks done on a gas or charcoal grill. Unhappily, this condo complex does not allow charcoal or gas grills at the units due to fire hazard concerns.

I really like this product Just one thing...it tilts so that the grease runs off but it tilts so much that the steak or burger slides off too. I put a pot holder under the front legs to level it out a little bit and it works fine. I'm single and it's perfect for burgers and steaks for one. I'm in an apartment without access to a grill. This little unit is great

I read the reviews on this grill and pretty much every review I could find online about this type of grill. I chose it even though users said it was hard to clean (no removable plates) because it sounded like it gets good and hot. Several reviews of ones with removable grill plates said theirs didn't get hot enough. Also, I used to have a waffle iron/ sandwich appliance that I threw out because it didn't do either one well, and the plates kept dropping down! I've used this new grill ALOT since I got it, and yep! it's a pain to clean up, but it works really well and I like it! I didn't have much luck with the wet paper towel clean up method- I just used a plastic scrubber brush. It seems like a poor design that the drain is right on top of the electronics- it's hard to keep that part from getting wet while cleaning the grill, and yeah, I lost the drip pan after the first time I used it! (I just use a little dish to catch the drippings- it's heavier and doesn't tip over so easily) It's neat that I can take a frozen chicken breast and cook it in a few minutes and it's tender and juicy! (I used the sear on it) I'd buy the grill again, but first I'd check out the new one by T-Fal that tells you when your meat is done to the degree you chose! I didn't find that one online when I was shopping.

I removed my original response and want to revise my rating. I really like the grill. The instructions warn that the top & handle get hot but the handle actually stays cool to the touch. I did not touch the metal parts so I assume they do get hot. Grills quickly: thick chicken breast cooked in about 12 minutes or so...juicy. I cooked fish, that took about 8 minutes or so. Used olive oil to coat both sides of the meat to prevent sticking. Clean up was easy; used a warm wet cloth and closed the cover to let the water from the cloth steam the grates. Careful, let the grill cool for a couple minutes then use this clean up method...the cloth does get hot.Remember, set your temp then once that temp is reached hit the sear button. Do not put your meat on the grill right away, let the sear temp heat up. When the temp stops flashing the sear is ready. Pretty cool.There is a corner drip pan that fits in the front left corner, small yet deep enough so you don't have to worry about it over flowing. The pan's drip angle does flow nicely, at the correct angle.I was hesitant when I got this, as many people are. I have seen other grills, especially the George Foreman, most seem flimsy. This is not flimsy at all. Well made....I would recommend this purchase!

PROS:1) Makes my life easier. I HATE cooking with oil, so this grill is a life saver! All I do is preheat it, then spray the top and bottom with cooking spray, and then I'm good to go.2) Double plates (top/bottom) so no need to flip meat.3) Comes with a manual that tells you the optimal temperature and time to cook your meats.4) Lightweight.5) Doesn't burn my chicken. Cooks it in 20 minutes at 375F, the way I like (depends on how you like your meats)6) Has a sear option. It will sear the meat for 90 secs and then go back to the temp. it was originally cooking at.7) Minimal smokeCONS:1) The cord is way too short. It's definitely meant to be placed right next to an outlet, which is a nuisance because I have to constantly unplug and move the microwave out of the way. Consider getting an extender cable.2) This thing is a PAIN to clean. You MUST clean this right after you cook or else it will be difficult to wipe all the gunk off. They give you a tiny bin to put near the drain so the water you use to clean the grill will drain into the bin and not onto the counter. It is a useful solution, but I would much rather have liked it if the plated were removable.CONCLUSION:Should you buy this indoor grill? I don't know. You might be able to find a better/cheaper one if you keep looking. One that is easier to clean with removable plates would be nice. But as a student, this thing has saved my life quite a few times. I love it, but there are the few nuisances that I explained in cons.

I wrote on Amazon many years ago that grills needed a searing function. Now this and the new Griddler Pro have this function, the latter having removable plates, and the former costs 1/3 the price. As to the Hamilton:This is somewhat difficult to clean, but do put a wet towel in. Then I use the George Foreman Grill sponges, available on Amazon, and the groves in those make cleaning less onerous.Pay absolutely no attention to the cooking times in the booklet. They are NOT designed to use the sear function. For many foods, if you sear at 500 and use the timings they give, you will get extremely well done, not medium rare or medium.I think having a sear function is absolutely necessary for resulting quality, and this is the most cost effective, if not the most feature rich, available.

Originally bought this on 9/16 and yesterday when I tried it for the first time I found the controls didn't work, all it would do is heat to default temperature. the raise and lower buttons and the sear didn't work. I contacted amazon via the web site, the arrainged to pick up the broken grill and send me a new one. 24 hours later the new one came old one went back and I tested this one right away and it works fine. I previously owned a grill by Cuisinart with replaceable plates and didn't like it because the plates wre hard to store in my cabinets. also tried the little red round thing but it was a bad idea from the start. This grill is sturdy and hopefully the controls will stay working.

This grill is a great buy. I turn it on, it beeps, I put my stuff on and close it. It cooks (whatever) in a few minutes and I'm eating. Love it. I can use it all day. Grills bacon perfectly in the morning, does paninis for lunch and steaks or burgers or chicken breasts for dinner. Grills slab veggies like a champ. The cleanup is tricky at first, but I found that heating it back up and getting a soaked paper towel in bowl of water and wiping it down using tongs works REALLY well.My only irritations are the stand-alone grease catcher should be a drawer. Also, when you open or clean the top grill, it seems to me a little design tweak could catch the grease there too. A shut-off timer would make this thing PERFECT.Nothing here should deter you. It's a great grill with potential!

After preheating the grill, the top grill has fallen off both times I've used it, after I reattached it and it works fine. Being able to remove the grill plates makes it so much easier to clean then previous models.

While it was nice having the removable plate on this newer model George Foreman, it was by no means large enough for four servings. We will use it, but we will not recommend it to our friends.

I bought this because it had removable plates, I bought this 4 serving size due to the Reviews about the size of servings you Really can get on the grill, I should have bought the 5 or Realistically the 6 serving size, and I live ALONE! Whatever size you think will be right, buy at Least a size Bigger! You can Only get two regular 1/4 pound Beef Patties on the four serving size!

Very hard to clean. Grill got so hot it melted hole in drip tray. Cooks fine but not sure it's worth the time to clean it.

The removable plates remove and clean easily. The heating element does not cook as quick as other grills I have had. My old one cooked faster and better. The power cord is very short made for on cabinet use.

I bought this to replace an old one of the same size without removable plates. It's OK, but seems to have a lower heat level. My meats and chicken don't cook as crispy nor seared as well. I'd rather have a non-removable unit with a higher heat level instead.

I was so disappointed when I opened my Hamilton Beech Griller. There was NO Panel on the backof it, that normally houses all of the electrical wiring. Needless to say, it looked like it would be dangerous to plug in & cook with.I called the Company and was told I must give them the unit's Serial Number. Guess where THAT is located....ON THE MISSING PANEL!I was told there was nothing they could do for me without that #. Even though I had every other # listed from the box it came in, I was told these numbers wouldn't suffice.Well, I improvised something to hold the wires in place and cooked with it anyway.It's a good Griller, large cooking area, heats up very quickly plus it is attractive. I will use it again, as long asI feel it is safe.

This is a great grill. The ONLY thing about it that I don't like is that the plates are not removable for washing up. I didn't realize that when I made the purchase otherwise I would have made a different choice.

Cooks things well, but the sear setting is kind of annoying if you aren't intending to sear something........as some have mentioned it doesn't come with any sort of cookbook but it does give you general cook times for basic items which is really nice. It also is not very easy to clean. If you are cooking any type of meat and with any kind of marinade the standard putting a wet paper towel in it and closing it and then wiping it down does not exactly work. It does take a few tries and a few extra scrubbings with a wet paper towel. Its a solid product and I'm fine with it, but if going at it again I probably would opt for something different. I will say thus far the asparagus is my favorite thing on it, and it does that extremely well

Works as advertised, but there is one big negative: the cooking surfaces do not detach for cleaning, and cleaning them is a bit of a pain. We've found that they clean much more easily if you spray PAM or equivalent on the surfaces before cooking. But it's still a nuisance cleaning them in place. This unit cost about $30 - $40 less than a George Foreman grill with detachable surfaces (a unit we also own), but in the long run, the extra cost is more than made up by the convenience of cleaning the plates that come off and can be soaked in the sink. At least for us. No complaints about how it cooks, though.

This works as an adequate indoor grill and I do use it. It is hard to clean though and if you put 4 hamburger patties or 2 small-ish steaks, they don't cook evenly, even with the hinged lid. It's better than no grill or broiling though.

I ordered this. Tried it once. Have owned a George Foreman before. It cooks faster, you can adjust the temp, but instructions say must press sear. The drip cup must stay in place until grill is clean. With the temperature controls being on the bottom of base, the grease did splatter on the control area. It did make a mess. I was going to buy another George Foreman, at double the cost for the same features. If you can deal with cleaning the splatter, keep away from walls, this is a fine product with the control features for the price.

Previously owned two GF. This one advertised as being a four serving appl. This will cook only TWO hamburgers at a time. Lightweight to the point of sliding around when opening & closing . Give me the "old " George !

You can't even put 4 burgers on it and the temp is not adjustable.I don't even know what temp it heats up to.I cooked 2 frozen turkey burgers and they did not cook evenly. I had to rotate and flip them.I thought i red it would work as a panini press but i don't see how.I would spend extra on a better model.

I had my old George Foreman grill for about 15 to 20 years. I real testament to how good these are, or were. Since I just got this, I cant really give it a good evaluation just yet. But I felt that I had to start a review with my 1st impressions.My old George Foreman was a lot bigger and we are just a family of 3. So I am pretty disappointed in the size of this grill that claims it will feed a family of 4. Im pretty sure it wont.

Upper grill clip doesn't hold very well after removing for cleaning.

Not sure if I just got a grill that was damaged. But the top plate won't stay attached. After heating it separates and falls down when lifting the lid. Unfortunately missed my window to return, because otherwise it would be going back.

hot dogs will not lay where you put them, much prefer my previous George Foreman which was tilted up in back, held more than this one. Only thing good about it is it is easy to clean.I found that this model only lasted under 2 yrs when the finish started to come off. And I did clean it properly. I just got new smaller grill, probably the first model, for 2 reasons. 1. The non stick finish is much stronger and 2. I can cook 1 burger without having to put it just so on this 4 serving one...if doing 2 burgers it is fine, except for sticking and burning on top, but if you are only doing 1 burger, the lid wobbles around.

I bought this to replace my other Hamilton beach grill that suddenly after 13 years of use. Comparatively the old grill is much superior to this except for the temperature control which the old one lack

I am disappointed in this product. My top burner plate doesn't work so I am stuck with cooking all my food on the bottom plate. I liked my previous unit by Hamilton Beach it had deeper holes to let the fat flow and was easier to clean. The timer is horrible it sounds like a fire smoke alarm going off every time. This unit tells you the temp. that you are cooking at but doesn't have a count down timer that you can set and leave it and when it reaches that time a bell will sound not this unit I have to stay and watch the meat cook on one burner that works and one that doesn't. You really need to bring back the old units they were better made and dependable with a true clock. The container off to the left of the unit where all the fat drains in is poorly designed if you move the unit a little when adjusting your meet the plastic piece moves and fat gets all over the place. The old units had a built in plastic to the right that was out of the way when cooking and worked much better. Unless Hamilton Beach goes back to the units that were really good I won't be a customer again. I only gave it a 2 because it looks nice the functions are horrible very disappointed.

The cooking surface is barely large enough for 4 burgers; the grease tray is small; and the plates do not detach for easy cleaning. I did love having a digital thermostat and was great for toasting (i.e.ham & cheese) sandwiches but pretty expensive to only use as toaster!!

The lid is too heavy for burgers and is difficult to balance on top of your food. If you don't center the meat perfectly on the grill the heavy lid tilts either forwards or backwards, squishing your burger patty thin and flat on one side while the other side gets undercooked because there is no weight on that side. Even if you do manage to balance it, the lid is so heavy it flattens the patty out way too much. And salmon burgers? Forget it. They'll come out flat as a pancake.All of these foods used to come out beautifully on my Salton-made George Foreman grill before it died. I bought this Hamilton Beach model based on the number of positive reviews, even though my opinion of this brand is that they usually make cheap quality junk. Well I guess the positive reviewers just use it to sear steaks, it's pretty much a one-trick pony in that respect. I should have stuck with my original instinct - this thing is slow to heat up, a hassle to clean, not versatile, and both the plastic front bezel and the lid-stop broke on mine in no time. Just like I thought, junk.

I bought this item and when I received it I discovered that the alert signal to let you know it had reached the correct temperature did not work so I sent it back for a replacement. The replacement arrived with the same problem so I send the second one back for a refund. I didn't actually use the grill for cooking so I can't comment on its performance. If an alert beep in not important to you then you might be happy with this product.

Got this grill about 3 months ago and we use it about 5 times a week. Does a wonderful job cooking, but cooking surface is flaking off, despite only ever washing it with a wet cloth. We'll see how customer service deals with a warranty claim, and update...

Bought this May 4, 2017 and by end of August 2017 this grill is falling apart. ( 3 months owned and it Wasn't used entire month of July) The top plate no longer clips into the grill. Im lucky i noticed before it started to slide off my chicken that was cooking!! I am afraid if i continue to use this, the plate will fall on me when I open it up!! Also, the top right corner of the grill has now started to lose the red color and the color is crackling as well. I use this almost every day and this SHOULD NOT HAPPEN after only 3 months of use!!! I enjoy cooking on it and think it does a good job but I feel I received a "lemon" and that I should have it replaced at no cost to me!!

We only used it 3 times and each time the food stuck to the plates and pulled it apart when you opened it to flip the meat/fish. We are returning it. Possibly there was a problem with the plate coatings. We have a 2 serving that works great. Not sure if that one is by Black and Decker since it is quite old.

Unfortunately this was a bad buy for me. The grill on the bottom does not heat up at all, leaving my meats undercooked. I forgot to send it back within the allowed time and now I'm stuck with it.

Base is too small. Does not even fit two full size sandwiches while my other grill easily did.The hinge at the back is useless. It does not go as high as it should be to press upper and lower sandwich loaf equally. As a result, 50% of sandwich gets grilled more than other half.Returned it next day.

Worked for a month and then broke.

I have had my grill for three months, using it about four times a week and caring for it as instructed. But the Teflon coating already is coming off!

This would be a good product except for the fact that the protector on the top part of the grill that allows the top section to be manipulated a little bit and protects people from burning themselves broke off after only 3 months! Why did it break? because the piece was only attached by a flimsy metal wire and glue!Other than the fact that the product broke after only 3 months, I will note that it is a pain to clean since the grill doesn't come apart.Hamilton Beach 25331 Super Sear 100-Square-Inch Nonstick Indoor Searing Grill

Was broke when it arrived had to send back

I did not make it through cooking one meal before ti quit working!Very disappointed!

I got this thing in march I've only used maybe a total of four times and each time I used it I loved how my food turned out but its very messy and hard to clean and now the dang on thing has broke and it will not come back on 😠😠😠

Grill stopped working after 5 usages and after the 30 day return period. I do not recommend this item
