Self-proclaimed grilling experts and beginning cooks alike will enjoy the easy operation and convenient versatility of Waring Pro's electric indoor grill and griddle. Offering five-in-one functionality, the countertop unit works as a contact grill, panini press, full grill, full griddle, and half grill/half griddle. Simply open the cover and customize the 200-square-inch cooking surface with reversible nonstick cooking plates that snap in and out easily and drain grease to two integrated drip cups for healthier cooking. Available in three attractive color choices--black, red, and platinum--the housing features a wide panini-style handle and a hinged floating cover to accommodate various food thicknesses. An adjustable temperature control on the base turns between off, low, medium, and high, and a red power light and green ready light provide quick reference and accurate, no-guesswork operation. The unit also comes with gourmet recipes and a scraping tool for easy clean up. The cooking plates go safely into the dishwasher.

It helps you prepare more servings of more kinds of food in less time so you can cook for a crowd--no one has to wait. Simply change the cooking plates and adjust the floating hinge to use it as a contact grill, a Panini press, or your choice of an extra-large double open grill or griddle. The two sets of removable plates let you customize the unit specifically for your cooking needs. To use the device as an open grill just insert the two grill plates, the two griddle, plates or one of each. Then open the unit flat to its full 200-square-inch cooking surface. To use the gourmet gadget as a contact grill just close the lid. The floating hinge automatically adjusts to different food thicknesses. All the plates are nonstick and dishwasher safe.

We're having a great time using the Waring Pro Electric Grill. So far, we've grilled steaks, pork chops, fish, mushrooms, broccoli and chicken breasts; made panini a couple of times. It's amazing how much you can cook at a time, and, of course, it's twice as fast as using a skillet because you're cooking both sides at once. Instead of 3 minutes and then turn for another 3 minutes, it's 3 minutes period!! Although I generally start with lean meats, whatever fat is there drains off into the drip catchers. No messy spills.

I kept putting it away at first, but we use it so often that there's no point. Besides, I bought the bright red one, and it's a great conversation starter: "What's that red thing on your counter?"

The plates are amazingly easy to put in and remove; they're nonstick and clean up nicely in the dishwasher (I scrape them first with the scraper that's included, as our dishwasher doesn't have a garbage disposal). They're also easy to handwash if you must.

This is our first indoor grill so I can't compare it to any other brand.
Suffice to say we are finding it to be both convenient and easy to use.
We have cooked the usual burgers and steak along with asparagus and broccoli.
Everything cooks up quickly. I love the red color too. The only real drawback
is the top lid rests on the meat and the grease splatters on the counter top. Putting a
cup towel underneath has solved this problem. Other than that, we use it several
times a week and love everything else about it. I would still recommend it to
anyone considering whether or not to purchase. Just wish I had bought it sooner!

I like the price. I like the color. I like how it works. Great for times one cannot use the outdoor grill (rain, snow).
