Hamilton Beach 118 sq. in. Electric Indoor Searing Grill

Perfect for one or two people. Searing really works and my first use was a delicious steak! I wash the grill right on the unit with debris and soapy water falling into the drip tray which is easy to clean. And it takes up very little space so I can leave it out on the counter.. but not heavy if you need to move or store it.

Oh my, this is the best thing I’ve bought in a while! Cooked on it last night. Picked steak and it came out perfectly. Even has a sear setting and it worked great! Cleanup was a dream, nothing stuck all the residue slide right off the grates. Didn’t take a long time to heat up and the price was very good, love it

The Hamilton Beach Electric Indoor Grill is something I have been wanting to buy for a while. Upon getting it and reading all Instructions, I washed the unit and tried it out on some chicken breasts. It did very well. It made great grill marks. Didn't taste like an outdoor grill but better than frying and baking. Taste was nice. I used bbq sauce, which actually was a little difficult to clean. My second attempt was burgers. Again, nice grill marks. Good flavor. Some smoke, but thats expected since hamburger is greasy. I again washed by hand. Cleaned rather easily. Here is my issue. The lid is not dishwasher safe, so you have to wash by hand. Which is fine. I dont run my dishwasher very often. The lid has a window on top. While washing the inside of the cover, around the window, the metal holding the window in place is very sharp and cut my finger open. I was not scrubbing hard, just ran my finger over the edge and it cut my finger. This is the only reason why I am giving a 4 star rating. If you purchase be careful with the cover.

The Hamiton Beach Grill is perfect. It is very easy to clean with a removable plate and catch pan. We grilled tenderloin steaks and chicken breasts recently which were absolute perfection. The cooking guide is very handy and well written and the quality and ease of use is remarkable. Best kitchen appliance we have ever used.

Perfect size for my Airstream Atlas camper van. I have gas cooktop inside but wanted an easy outdoor cooktop and opted for this electric so I don’t have to deal with gas hookup or tanks. I intend to cook for two but it could be stretched to cook for four, but would have to cook meat first, then veggies in separate batch as not big enough for all at once. Grates are heavy duty and I suspect it will retain heat well. Looks like it will clean up easily. Grates a close enough together where food should not fall through. The drip tray is plastic which makes it lightweight for camping. I tested it and it seems to work holding a low temperature which others complained about. I then cranked up to high and it was crackling when I hit it with a few drops of water. Purchased this 20”x14” zipped carry bag and it fits perfectly: Mini Lustrous Griddle Carry Bag for Camp Chef SG30, SG14, FG20, MSG20, CGG16 Griddle Models, Waterproof Anti-UV Material, Medium https://a.co/d/0dOaLvr.

I'm recently cooking for just one again, and I love grilled foods... but pulling out the huge gas grill just to make one steak, one hamburger, or one of anything just seemed to be too much for me. Plus, my hubby always changed out the big tanks for me, and since I lost him, I just don't feel comfortable doing that myself. So, I decided to try one of those new fangled indoor smokeless grills. And I decided on this one because #1. I have never been disappointed with a Hamilton Beach product and #2. I liked the idea of the searing grill! I am very happy that I did choose this one! It works WONDERFULLY! The first thing I tried was a nice boneless rib eye steak. I followed the direction to a T, tested the internal temp before removing it from the grill, and I had the most tender, perfectly cooked steak! My next "test" was a bone-in center cut pork chop, along with a zucchini, onion and sweet potato to go with. Here, I made a mistake by not reading the instructions perfectly before hand, and I started the chop before starting the veggies. So, by the time my chop was done, the veggies were still a bit too crisp and undercooked for my liking. But that was MY fault, not the grill's. Third time was the charm, same ingredients only this time I tried a boneless chop. I started the veggies a bit before the meat, with the setting on sear... then added the meat, started the meat timer (NOT included, just my own digital timer), turned down the heat when I turned the meat and veggies... and ended up with a DELISH dinner, with everything cooked to perfection! And to my surprise, every single time I cook a chop on this thing I get a PERFECTLY cooked chop, tender, moist, and cooked to perfection! Next up was a good ol' hamburger. This thing cooks a delish burger in the time it takes to heat up my large outdoor gas grill, and I end up with a burger that is cooked to the doneness I want, is juicy, tender, and I didn't have to pull out that huge grill! One night I decided I just wanted grilled veggies for dinner, so I settled on sweet potato, tomatoes, sweet onion and green peppers. I DID add some flour to the tomatoes, but just seasonings on the other veggies. And again, everything cooked to perfection, tasted wonderful, and this has become an often cooked meal at my house now. I honestly use this grill at LEAST 3 times a week now, and the only thing I've made that was excellent was one steak, that was cooked to perfection but was just a lousy tough mess, and it was the steak, not the grill! Now, one thing that's easy about an outside, gas grill is clean up. Turn up that baby to high for a few minutes, then run a brush over it, right? Or in my case, and stainless steal scrubber that doesn't shed bristles that can get caught in your food. ANYway, clean up with this grill is even easier than that! A quick rinse under hot water and 99% of the burned on crumblies just rinse away, and a quick wipe with a soapy sponge leaves me with a perfectly cleaned grill. The drip try slides out and is just as easy to clean. The lid slide off and again, just a quick wipe with a soap sponge and it's good to go! I mentioned my new grill to a neighbor, and showed them a pic of one of my completed meals (yes, I take pics of my cooking!) and next thing I knew, she was asking me how to clean it properly, she went and ordered one for herself. And just so everyone understands this, the grill comes out of the appliance easily, just lift it up, and the removable parts all ALL able to be submerged in soapy water! She was afraid of getting the two pronged "connectors" wet, but you don't have to worry about that, the only part that can't be submerged is the actual body of the grill, the part that has the cord attached to it! I have since posted about my new kitchen love affair on a diet site that I frequent, and so far, 3 of my online buddies have also purchased this fantastic grill. And every last one of them thanks me every time they use it, saying it's the easiest thing to clean, that it does such a great job of grilling all their different foods, and not one of them has had a single complaint about this searing grill! And I do have to admit, my food LOOKS prettier when it comes off this grill than when I would cook on the big gas grill, the colors are better, less burned/browned, less overcooked, less smoky looking. Hey food appearance can make a difference in taste, too! So, all in all, I simply LOVE my searing grill. It makes everything easy to cook, from burgers to links to steaks to shrimp to veggies and even to tomatoes! I couldn't be more pleased with my grill. OH and I forgot to mention, I have NEVER had to grease this baby, no quick sprays of oil, no rubbing it down before heating... nothing sticks to it, which is why it is so very easy to clean! SO my food is also lower in calories, especially my veggies which I would always spray with oil before putting on the grill! Now, I just sprinkle spices and cook! I give this appliance 2 thumbs up and wish I had a few more thumbs to give to it!

I'd been looking for a good grill for a while, and I found this one. It's super easy to use, compact, and doesn't take up much space, heating up quickly. The plate is removable and can be cleaned easily

Grill Steak fantastic

Es como una parrilla eléctrica convencional realmente. Quise hacer un corte de rib eye de 1 pulgada de grueso y si los coció bien pero por ejemplo el gordito queda poco cocido y no lo hace chicharrón. Puse elotes amarillos y los tuve que sacar y meter a mi freidora de aire pues iba muy lento todo y eso que lo tenía en SEAR que es la temperatura más alta. No tiene sabor tipo asador (ahumado). Quizá sea buena opción para carnes delgadas y algunos vegetales pero no para una parrillada tradicional. Las salchichas quedaron crudas aunque por fuera parecían súper cocidas. Lo bueno es que no genera humo para nada y la limpieza es fácil. Si lo que buscas es una experiencia tipo asador con la venataja de ser dentro de casa así como lo anuncian, NO lo recomiendo.

Llegó en tiempo y forma , es más grande lo que pensé , pero está súper padre , es fácil de usar , trae un termómetro que te avisa cuando ya está la carne , y tiene una charola para que no se moje si la carne se escurre , se lo regale a mi mamá y está feliz con su parola , la carne queda súper suave !

Well, I'm sold! I was cooking my dinner within 10 minutes of unpacking this! I had everything prepped and ready-to-go, I was waiting for the Amazon driver to show up, SOOOOO hungry but darn it, I was so excited to use my new grill! Then, IT happened! The buzzer rang! "HE'S HERE!" I yelled to no one... I tore that box open, I got a paper cut, but screw it, let the blood flow! I was hungry! I washed my new grill. I made sure she was clean and shiny. She was. She's so easy to put together. Only 4 pieces and they all go together like they were made for each other! Wait... I plugged her in. I turned the dial. I got the chicken out of the fridge. I got the veggie skewers out. All was perfect. The brown and wild rice pilaf was cooking in the air fryer. Life was beautiful. Then, I heard it. A quiet little "click". No, not really a "click", more of a "clunk", I guess. That's okay, it was the sound of my grill being READY. She was heated up. I got the tongs. I got the first piece of marinated, de-boned chicken thigh. I placed it gently on the grill. "SIZZLE!" it shrieked to me. "Ssshhhhh" I said gently. "It's okay. This is how it's supposed to be." The chicken responded by quieting down and welcoming the second piece, which also gave a little vocalization of hesitant fear, or was it delight? I like to think it was delight. Yes. Sweet, gentle delight. After letting them relax and bask in their juicy, tasty, juicy-tastiness for a while, I then added their new friends, the veggie skewers. Ah, yes. The skewers. No, no, the skewers were not for eating! The skewers were the mere presenters of the beautiful vegetables impaled upon them. The peppers, both red and green, the mushrooms, peeled lovingly, the onion layers, the carrot slices, the celery pieces, the garlic grated over this beauty and drizzled with olive oil, then lightly dusted with salt and pepper. My God, what a meal. But the grill! How did it do? You're thinking, this woman has had too much to drink! Ah, but no. This is just a really good grill. You should buy one. Everything cooked perfectly. Browned nicely. No smoking!

this grille is amazing. it works well and is easy to use plus it is light weight. best of all it disassmbles in seconds into 4 parts for easy cleaning.
