So far we have used this for grilled sandwiches and for steaks instead of the oven broiler. Saves a lot of clean-up and steaks look better. Taste is very good.
I received this as a gift, and have loved it every time I have used it. It is versatile, cooks evenly, and clean up is fast. I like that I don't have to occupy burner space when cooking a big meal.
I bought this as a replacement for a different name brand grill. I am not please with it's performance as it seems to take twice as long to make anything that i made on the previous grill. It does not heat up evenly nor stay hot unless you turn the temperature way up. Additionally, I find the three controls on the front confusing and have to get the book out each time I want to use it. Needless to say this appliance stays in the cupboard more than it gets used. I will usually pull out the electric skillet instead.
