Meco Electric Grill is HEALTHY, but...!- Cleaning tip!,
By scottls1 "scottls1" (Kalispell, MT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Meco 9320 Electric Cart Grill, Satin Black (Lawn & Patio)
I'm "REALLY!" in to a healthier lifestyle, and subscribe to "several" respected health e-zines.
1. 15+ years ago I read tests that charcoal BBQ's- really put "LOTS" of very bad carciniogens into your meat! 2. So I went to a gas BBQ. Not as good tasting as charcoal, but "SUPPOSEDLY" healthier? NOT!- Now I read tests that gas BBQ's are little healthier than charcoal! The "deadly" carciniogens are in the drippings smoke- coming from the hot lava rocks below! 3. So I now go to the MECO electric grill. Pros- a. Healthier- as virtually no smoke (grill/elements are steeply slanted, and drippings collect in a handy pan under the grill). b. No having to mess with expensive propane gas... c. Well made, and sturdy. d. Low fire danger- Acceptable for most apartment complexes. ASK! e. Sears steaks well (preheat on high for 15+ min, and close lid FAST! Requires a "Heavy Duty" electric outlet!). Cooks just as fast (or faster) than gas. BUT, "NO!" BBQ taste! You will probably need a marinade... Good "web search" recipe I found for steaks...- I pre-mix & rub in, a blend of- salt ("AlsoSalt"- is very healthy and GOOD tasting!), black pepper, chili powder (all in equal parts...), and a little cayenne pepper. You can also add any other seasonings you like, to taste... PAM makes a "High Temp" cooking spray, for the grill ONLY (leaves a "varnish like" residue on pans!). AMAZING! CLEANING TIP, for burned on... foods!!! This works on ALL pans/grills...- 1. Clean/scrub conventionally..., as best you can. 2. Mix a little water with Comet, and make a paste. Wipe on burned surface. Place in a sealed plastic bag/garbage sack..., and leave for 24 hours. 3. Should now clean easily with Dawn & scouring pad... (may take two applications?). 4. Cons- a. This is difficult and time consuming (2+ hours! & I'm VERY handy!), to assemble! Tips- Pounding on the axel end caps was a challenge (finally laid it on it's side, and put a 1/4 drive socket (for backing, on the other end)) & hold cap with pliers. You will surely drop screws...!!! (I put an old sheet underneath it).

EASY COOKING,
Because we can't have gas or charcoal we sought out electric and was surprized that it fits our way of cooking .It takes a little longer to cook but the wait is worth it . It's all-round heating process makes life easier for us to cook . We love it . Thanks .Bob Boisselle, Elmhust N. Y.

Cooks fine, clean up is a little difficult,

This review is from: Meco 9320 Electric Cart Grill, Satin Black (Lawn & Patio)
While putting it together we noticed two little end pieces were missing, but that was of little consequence. Also noted...the hole that is for drainage to a little outside cup is up too high to be of any use. We put a sheet of aluminum foil to line the bottom to catch any drippings.
The tray is also hard to remove as directed. If the grid was set a little forward it would come out easier. The unit heats up quickly and does a great job with steaks, fish. Did cook hamburger that wasn't as lean as label said, and with the heat on high there was a fire. That can happen on any electric grill. I have another electric grill at different home and I like this one better. An improvement would be an outside indicator of what the temperature is inside the closed grill. I basically like this grill a lot. It's not expensive and does a nice job.
