I am impressed with cooking. But every time, I take out the griddle to rinse and put in dishwasher, my hands turn to black, because of the under it. Is this defective? I have washed it 10 times already. The black does not go away. I am concerned it nay be health hazard.
Purchased this a few weeks ago, it's been used a few times so far. Everything that I made came out fantastic cooked correctly. So far I am very pleased with unit. Easy to clean.
So I upgraded from a 5 in 1 to this model in November 2021. I haven't used the griddle yet. Realized right away that I would need to put foil on top of the grill and underneath the basket for easier cleanup. Wish the grill could be removed and have a base pan like on the older grills. Who wants to clean up that grill every time you use the basket? But I do find that the air doesn't flow as well with the foil on but doable. Also, hate the 'wells' in the basket. Food falls into them as well as uneven cooking because the air doesn't flow through them. When cooking frozen hamburgers, for example, when I flip them, the shape of that well is still frozen on the hamburger. I also find the outer edges of the basket cook faster than the middle. You would think the middle would cook faster. However, with all of that, I love how much room I have from my older one (50% more). I don't trust the thermometer. I have to do it about 7 degrees less than what I want. When you figure out how much it is off and change the temp you want, works fine. I wish I would have paid for the way less expensive XL grill instead.
