When finished, its removable cooking tray cleans up quickly by hand or in the dishwasher, and the cover can be wiped down with a damp cloth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just for hamburgers. . . versatile kitchen tool, June 3, 2009

I've only used this appliance a dozen times in a couple of weeks, so it might malfunction tomorrow, but. . .
In the first place, mine heats up very quickly, so I've begun putting my hamburger or sausage in it after about 30-60 seconds. It cooks ground sausage - like Owens brand - like a dream. Hamburger or sausage, you just place a mound of meat in the center and lock down the top. The heating element is only in the top, so if appearance is important to you, flip the patty after a couple of minutes. Sausage is done perfectly, as are the hamburgers. I haven't tried frozen patties, because I prefer the taste of fresh.

Several Months Later Update:

Oh, poor me. This little appliance didn't live up to my expectations (after I bought a second one!) For one thing, the non-stick coating started coming off. Then the handle broke. Too bad. Unfortunately I cannot change the rating to fewer stars, but if I could I would have to reduce it to one star.

This product is inferior at best. The plastic handle broke the first time I used it. Also, the grilling surface is not big enough to accomodate a standard size frozen hamburger patty. I do not recommend!!

Heating element on one side only, so it doesn't cook the other side. Like using a light bulb to cook your burger. Cheap plastic design.
