Hamilton Beach 31605 HealthSmart Indoor Grill

I wanted to replace my George Foreman grill and happened upon the Hamilton Beach Indoor Grill at this site.After reading the ratings from other consumers, which I think is a fantastic idea for Target.com, I was ecstatic!All of the things I disliked about the GF grills were mentioned by others, especially the task of cleaning them.Cleaning my HB grill is far less difficult because everything except the electric probe is immersible.I was a bit concerned about grease splattering because the HB grill isn't covered but that turned out to be a non-issue.Not to mention, it costs less than 1/2 the price of the comparable GF grill!Thank you Hamilton Beach for making such an outstanding product and thank you Target.com!

Have used the grill many times and it works great.Very little smoke.The challenge is cleaning the unit without ruining the grill.Foods have a tendency to stick and even with a sponge and much elbow grease it is very difficult to keep perfectly clean.I just used a portable steamer to clean it and that did the trick.

Checked the reviews before i bought this grill.. and was quite impressed... although i got it cheaper at target ... so pays to check the local stores before buying it online!... no more broiled steaks!... come out awesome.... and do not dry out... in this grill.. and cleaning is a snap.. just dump the thing... into the dishwasher... assuming you've lightly rinsed it out.. after cooking... highly recommend it.

I got this as a shower gift a few weeks ago.It works great!The heat is even, cleaning is easy, and no smoke.The package said using sauces could cause smoke, but we never had a problem.My only advice is don't cook meat on the bone on this grill.It took forever to cook a few chicken legs, and they were still raw in the center. If if had a lid to hold the heat in maybe it would have worked a little better.I'm going to stick to burgers, shrimp, veggies, and boneless chicken.Those all turn out great.

Alright, for those that says clean up is a breeze, notice how most of those reviewers have a dishwasher.But for those folks without one, this item is by no means a "breeze" to clean.The item is simply too large to fit in a regular kitchen sink (or at least the one I have).So soaking it is out of the question.The nonstick coating does absolutely nothing.If you try to grill anything with a sauce or marinate, be prepared to spend hours trying to scrap off gunks congealed sauce residue.And because of the nonstick coating you cannot use a metal scrubber.

And if you think about it, Teflon doesn't recommend the use of their pans over high heat, for the teflon coating would melt and wear out.So why would anyone have a teflon coated grill, where the process of grilling probably necessitates the highest temperature out of all cooking methods?

I've learned to work around with it.Such as covering it with a disposable aluminum pan while it preheats so it heats up faster.And placing foil in the drip tray so clean up is easier.But the size and grate-cleaning problem persist.
