Nice Size Grill

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a nice size grill that can easily hold 4 hamburger patties at once. I tested it out with 2 fairly thick patties this round and it did great. It took about 2-1/2 minutes to heat up and maybe 10-15 minutes to cook the patties. I liked that the excess fat dripped down into the cup below the grill for easy disposal. I tried cooking 3 raw Italian sausages on the grill as well but they just didn’t cook all the way through so I finished them on the stovetop in a frying pan with water. A few things that I found a challenge, the cord seemed a bit to short for where I usually plug in appliances like this so making it a few inches longer would be great. I also noticed the grill plates are not detachable and therefore not dishwasher safe so I spent quite a bit of time scrubbing them clean afterwards. Appliances with dishwasher safe parts are a big plus for me. I liked that the grill was only slightly tilted enough to drain the fat but not too much that sausages would roll off. I had a grill that did that. Every time I opened the lid I had to prepare to catch them as the rolled off before they hit the floor. Overall, it’s a nice size grill, not too big and not too small. Easy storage size and gives you room to cook up several patties at once to get ahead if you want. I think thinner sliced chicken, pork, beef, hot dogs or fully cooked brats would also cook well on the grill but raw sausages are not going to work in my opinion. As long as you don’t mind putting in the elbow grease to clean it then this is the grill for you.

COOKS QUICKLY

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I figured having an indoor grill would be an appealing addition to personal cooking. I have some nice fry pans but I hate frying hamburgers, or most everything that takes some time to cook, because I
They are messy, however, this grill cooks both top and bottom at the same time and does it extremely fast! I only gave this grill a three star rating because it is a pain to clean. The plates do not come out and cleaning the bottom plates there is no problem but cleaning the top plate is very is very hard to do and creates a mess everywhere. One needs to place paper towels underneath it to catch any debris.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the easy cleaning of the grill. Especially the grease flowing in an angle to the drip tray. I wish they had added the book schedule to the top of the grill.

So Easy To Use and Clean

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Hamilton Beach 90 Square Inch Non-Stick Indoor grill exceeded all my expectations, and turned out to be extremely versatile. After giving up my outdoor grill, I was looking for a good replacement, and luckily have found the perfect item.
I picked this grill for simplicity and a perfect size for a small kitchen like mine. Yet it holds a large amount of food. I started out by grilling two top sirloin steaks. I followed the instructions for use. The steak cooked perfectly in under 6 minutes to a medium inside. No spatter at all.
Next up I tried hot dogs, a favorite food. The grill holds 8 of the jumbo hot dogs, and all of them cooked quickly, in about 6 minutes. They had a lovely grilled taste missing from a frying pan!
I gave this grill the ultimate test, grilling a very thick but uneven chicken breast. I was truly surprised how quickly it cooked. 12 minutes and it was done beautifully inside, with a crusty outside. Again, no spatter whatsoever. The counter stayed clean all around the edges of the grill.
Clean up was a dream. Even with the steak and chicken juices, all I needed to do was wipe down the grill with a soapy sponge and a cloth. No real effort required at all. So far so good, and all my expectations had been exceeded.
I also made a grilled turkey & cheese sandwich, and a grilled turkey and cheese quesadilla. Both turned out exceptionally well. The cheese did not stick to the grill at all, but rather was easy to peel off and eat.
Be careful where you place the grill on the counter. A lot of steam comes up from the grill. The cord is a bit on the short side, especially if you have an oddly configured kitchen. However, use of an extension cord resolved that issue.
Overall, a great addition to any kitchen, and a tool that is incredibly easy to use. A great value indeed.

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this grill to test and review, I’ll start by saying, it is easy to set up and use, has a decent size grilling surface and was very convenient. I did notice that the top grill side cooked quite a bit faster than the bottom grill side and the drip cup seemed to fill up very quickly which would be fine if perhaps the cup were just a bit larger. The outside surface gets very hot, so I would make sure to keep clear of other things in the same area and also use only where children can not reach. Overall, it cooked the food quickly, and it tasted great just like I’d cooked it on an outdoor grill. Cleanup was a breeze!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This indoor grill is fantastic! Easy to use and very easy to clean! If you fit 6 burgers, they would have to be smaller than a burger press, which is what I use for uniformity........I easily fit 4 large. Cook time is short. Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed using the Hamilton Beach 90 square inch grill. It was so quick & easy. I grilled some steaks & they came out dry, obviously operator error. If I had paid attention to what I was doing & turned them off sooner they would of been great. All in all a really good product.
