Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I just got this grill yesterday so I can't tell you if the thing will hold up, but it works just as advertised. I had a specific use for the grill when I bought it - I have a smoker and smoke meats all of the time. The flavor is always good, but of course the smoked meat is usually more steamed than grilled. So I wanted a grill where I could throw on a cut of cooked, smoked meat and get some carmelization and crispyness on the outside at the last minute before serving. I can tell you that if you want a grill that can really sear the grill marks onto the meat, this is the perfect tool. It has a feature where you set your cooking temp, and then push a button that fires it up to 525 degrees, and holds the temp there for 90 seconds, whereby it then drops to the pre-set temp. When I put some just smoked country style ribs on the grill, they sizzed and smoked just the way you would want - they got crispy with the grill marks in just a few minutes. I pressed down on the top to get even contact all around.
The grill is not large - basically about 9 x 9 ", but it was large enough to hold 5 good sized boneless country ribs[...]. The hinged top worked great - the ribs where over an inch thick and there was complete contact from the top grill. The grease tray caught all of the drippings, and the non-stick surface cleaned easily with a wet paper towell - do it while the grill is still warm.
The temperature is thermostatically controlled, and it holds whatever temp you set very well. Temps available are 300-425 in 25 degree increments, and of course the searing setting. The manual says not to press the surge (searing) button after the first searing, however being curious I tried pushing it again, and it did bring the temp up again. I think that there could be a grease fire hazard at that temp, so that is probably why they say not to do that. The grill has a small (and quiet) internal fan which cycles on and off to help hold the temperature setting. The stainless steel body of the grill gets too hot to touch, yet the handle never gets too hot - though I imagine it could if you had it running for a long time. It also has a timer that you can set to remind you when your cooking time has been reached. The timer does not shut of the grill when it rings - that must be done manually. The timer minutes and the temp are both shown in a small but very readable LED.
I'll update this review at a later date if parts start falling off or whatever - but for now, I'm very happy with the results.
