Prepare appetizing meals and reward your palate without the fat and oil of frying or the mushiness that comes with microwaving. Start savoring the idea of easy gourmet cooking with the versatility of the Hamilton Beach all-in-1 grill/griddle.
3 WAYS TO COOK: With two reversible cooking plates that are griddle smooth on one side and ridged for grilling on the other, you can use as a full indoor grill, a full griddle or as a half electric griddle and half grill simultaneously.
GREAT FOR COOKING EVERY MEAL: From cooking eggs and sausage on the griddle for breakfast to making quesadillas for lunch and grilling steak and asparagus for dinner, this electric grill and electric griddle combo does it all.
2 COOKING ZONES: The indoor electric grill is powered by 1400 watts and has two separate cooking zones, each with its own independent heat controls with adjustable temperature up to 425°F.
LARGE ENOUGH FOR FAMILY MEALS: With 180 sq. in. of nonstick cooking surface, this nonstick electric indoor grill and griddle is great for cooking complete meals too large for a skillet. Or cook in one zone for smaller meals.
EASY CLEANUP: The double-sided cooking plates are dishwasher safe and the drip tray can go in the top-rack of the dishwasher.

Title: Two appliances in one.
Review: I love the reversable grill and griddle plates, the center drip tray and the ability to clean the plates in the dishwasher. It works great for cooking different dishes at two different temperatures at the same time.

Title: its going to work out for me
Review: I really dont care if it only lasts a year. Who cares? For the price I can buy a new one every year. I realize it is not a fantastic gourmet kitchen appliance. I already have those with many drawbacks.I have the DeLonghi which gives a fantastic performance. heats up so quickly, sears and cooks steak to perfection in no time at all. However I dont have a large family anymore. There are no options to just heat up one side of the grill for a grilled cheese or one burger which is a big deal to me because it turns my kitchen into an inferno for days. Way too much heat for a burger. Fine for chateaubriand.I have a Ronco Rotisserie. great performance but bulky, takes up a lot of real estate and also the heat problem.I have the Todd English ceramic grill. It is lightweight but also to cook one item you have to heat up the whole grill and deal with the heat.I see many complaints about drip pans. I hardly ever empty or clean my drip pans. What the devil are people putting on these indoor grills that they need gigantic drip pans?I have a George Forman indoor / outdoor. It takes forever to get hot and forever to cook. Not a fan.This one allows me to cook two steaks on one side of the grill and not have the entire grill blazing. I got nice grill marks.I have found that grills are mostly good and cook really well. What I have also found is they may be very good but they can be really hard to live with because of the heat, the bulk and the maintenance. I no longer use the DeLonghi, the best, because it is so difficult to clean. Too much. The TE was looking good for a while but even with ceramic cleaner and special sponges, its not coming clean anymore and I can't stand it.I was looking to the HB Searing grill but sacrificed the sear for the easier cleanup and just grilled two big fat boneless chicken breasts on one side that were done in no time at all, crispy on the outside and juicy inside.The Winner and New Champion.....Don't overlook Hamilton Beach for sexier brands.This does not turn my house into an inferno. Are the clips a little tricky? Yes. But the plates are really nice and pop right into the dishwasher.For under $50, this is a no brainer. I also have the HB pannini grill which I highly recommend. It is smaller and really gets smokin' hot.

Title: Good product, Not Great
Review: The product works great. The temperature control and the design are definitely very cool. There is no not much spillage as the drain is in the middle. So typically fat stays on the collection tray and is easy to remove when washing off. The knobs are cheap though. One of them broke off after just 7 months of usage (never been dropped or hit).The Pros:- Easy to Clean- Fat and Oil Collection system is great- Food doesn't spill out- Dual heat dials permits versatility- Weight makes it stay in place when cooking- Solid ConstructionThe Cons:-The plate and the heating element are two separate pieces. Therefore it takes a while to warm up unlike the other flat tops.-It doesn't get as hot as other units that have the heating rod incorporated in the cooking plate. This one sits on top of the heating element.-takes longer than other units to heat up to temperature-One of the knobs suddenly broke off after 7 months, no replacement available for purchase.Perfect for Breakfast and most foods. Not great for foods that require a lot of heat to sear like burgers or steak. I had others that were good for searing burgers. This one is not.

Title: Worth the price
Review: Our old cheap griddle from krogers that cost us $20 finally started to wear out after 5+ years. Opted to get a slightly pricier one due to the functionality, and so far, it's great. The only things to get dirty are the plates, catcher and maybe on the sides. Cleaning the outside is a simple wipe down, and being able to disconnect the plates and put them in the dishwasher expedites the process.Its slightly smaller length wise, and much taller. The plates have relatively high outer walls, which helps when grilling stuff like goetta. We made perfect pancakes on the flat side, and turkey burgers on the grill side. Hope to get several years out of it as well.

Title: Worth the money, makes a perfect gift.
Review: I bought this for my mother as a Christmas gift. She loves it, it cleans exceptionally well, and she uses it to cook her and my little brother breakfast every morning. It's less cliché than a blender. It looks, feels, and behaves very professionally made. Everything a good appliance gift should be: Well priced, reliable, and maintenance free.It cleans well in the dishwasher, it cleans well in the sink. She cleans it occasionally that way to sanitise it. I just went over to it and rubbed my finger across it to get a better idea for the review. I can't even tell bacon was cooked there save for the faint smell, and she only wiped it with a dry paper towel this past week. The nonstick is serious business.Being what it is, it heats a fair amount quicker than a typical stove burner. It also has the advantage of weighing a little less and being able to fit in your car. The only complaint I have had in a half year of usage is that it has no off setting. It goes down to a minimum heat, and then you unplug it. Granted, if you follow the directions, everything you buy tells you to unplug it anyways, because, of course, companies hate liability.I foolishly paid an extra few bucks for a warranty. (Totally kidding, warranties are always good to have even if you trust the manufacturer)

Title: Genius design!
Review: This is the best griddle I have ever used. It heats up quickly and cooks evenly on both sides. The grease and meat juices drains into a tray in the middle where the two cooking surfaces connect so you can cook 2 entirely different ways or flavors without them mixing. Itâs easy to take apart and wash. I would recommend this appliance to everyone.

Review: do not buy for uk use, first of all you need a converter to change it to uk volts which would cost about £100+ because its 1400w its too expensive to even consider swapping, secondly I contacted the supplier Hamilton beach by phone they also said its for u.s use only we recommend you don't use in the uk, so why advertise on uk amazon, complete waste of money......

Review: Not as easy to clean but not difficult either .. Almost daily use so far so Iâm waiting to see how long it lastsPrinted numbers on the dials are already almost gone from simple wiping and maintenance, so thatâs something to fixNo smoke so far during grillingSo far so good as ânew productsâ generally are in the beginning. Based on almost daily use and proper maintenance that will continue for a household of 3, this affordable product is being tested for its life span6-12 months from now when the warranty expires is down the road. Iâve only had this product for 2-3 weeks so far. I wait to see how this product works long-term, post warranty for daily use.I bought this product for daily grilling, not just another small appliance to store away in the cupboard once a âcooking phaseâ has passed. I like grilled veg, fruit, and occasionally meat ââ and barbecue grilling is not always ideal during winter months ..So Iâm trying this product out for now to see how long its lifespan is. 6 months from now I might have a different more positive or negative review. Time will tell .. I am with hope that this is all I will have to buy for indoor grilling during the cold months of the year ..
