Mmmmm. Bacon. Perfect, no mess, no clean-up bacon. That's just one use - and the first one I used this for. Preheat at 400 degrees. Arrange several slices, close. After a minute open again, fit a few more slices on. This way you can cool a pound in two rounds. 7:44 later - PERFECT bacon. Only cleanup? The inside panels and drip tray - and those are non-stick and dishwasher safe. One warning with bacon though. Watch bacon blocking the drip tray opening! I caught it just in time. Actually two warnings. It's so easy to make perfect, non-splatter bacon you may wind up eating it more often. The drip tray is good for one pound of bacon when you use the "kickstand" - the tray fills up fast. If it overflows, you'll have a mess beneath the grill. If the grill sits flat, the tray holds about 50% more, as it's not at an angle. But the more it fills, the more careful you need to be emptying it. Or wait for it to fully cool, then scrape it out. If you want to pull grease and lard from meats for later use (yes, some people still cook with it and eat it as a sandwich spread), this grill is a great way to accomplish that. I've also made burgers - well, bacon burgers and they were great. Up next will be fish and steak. Fish is difficult to grill - usually we pan fry. Looking forward to trying this. The MultiGrill is a great kitchen accessory - I hate heating an oven for small meals - this makes much more sense. If you have a cabin, RV or camp with A/C power available, consider this as a great cooking option. I've included a couple of photos - the grill after a pound of bacon. If the plate looks a little, er, light - well, I ate some while cooking.

Great multi-purpose grill

This grill is amazing. It can be used open or closed. On one half of the grill there is a flat surface to prepare eggs, pancakes, etc. Food can be prepare with the grill fully open on both sides or with the grill closed (to prepare burger patties or other meats). It gets hot pretty fast so you don't have to wait long to begin cooking. When done, the grill plates are easily removable so they can be washed. In addition, the non stick qualities of the plates make cleaning up very easy.

Ive only used it once but Im in love! I wanted this for not only making numerous pancakes at once but also full breakfast, burgers and grilled sandwiches/paninis. I looked into a George Foreman because I used to have one years ago, but these all in one grills have come a long way since then. I went with this one because of the reviews honestly and it did everything I wanted and more. The thought of making bacon without a greasy splattered mess in the oven or on the range is awesome, can't wait to use it for that!! I was able to make 7 pancakes at once, it could've been 8 but I ran out of batter. It was awesome not having to use a pan to make one at a time. It was easy to use, per the instructions, SUPER easy to clean (grill plates go into the dishwasher) and wipe the outside.

Way better than a Foreman grill!

Best indoor grill I have ever owned. Will only fit four burgers if you get a common 1/5 or 1/4 pound patty. More room than any other one I have used and SOOOOO easy to clean. Controlling the temp is nice as well if you are needing to speed up or delay the finish time. This grill can take a 20% fat burger and make is not greasy, but still super moist. I put 4 frozen patties on with some zesty italian dressing and let it work for about 7 minutes. Done and tastes GREAT!

Works like a charm

This thing is great burgers chicken you name it you can throw it on here works like a charm . Th best feature is the temperature setting and the pre heat light

Quick, complete meals, and easy to clean

First, on the negative, it doesn't have a sear setting or go up to 425 or 450, which seems a better sear temp. And it does not come with a grill chart or cookbook so I've had to do a lot of guesstimating. Hamilton Beach does have recipes on their website though. The other thing is, don't expect food to taste like it was cooked on charcoal. I read somewhere to try using liquid smoke. That said, I love this grill. Perfect for making bacon---no spatters all over my counter. I'll do a whole pack and then freeze. I do whole meals on it (for 1 person) ---my meat and vegies, and once it's preheated (about 10 minutes) my meal is done in anywhere between 3 and 8 minutes. I eat a lot of fish and have made perfect salmon fillet and tuna steaks. The grids snap out easily and are very easy to clean. Depending on what I'm cooking it may already be marinated with a little oil; if not I have an oil prayer and silicone brush and lightly brush the grids. This will do great panini as well, or even simple 'stuffed' grilled cheese sandwiches. I use this just about daily, sometimes for all 3 meals. I love it!

Great grill!

I have used this grill almost every day since I bought it! Closed, it cooks meats fast, so fast that my vegetables & other sides need to be almost done prior to putting meats on this grill. I cooked hamburgers & better cheddar's last week & my daughter-in-law was shocked at how quickly both meats were done and looked & tasted grilled! She wants to get one now! Everything about this grill is great from the drippan to the temperature settings! Easy to clean! The only negative is the book that came with it had no cooking chart suggesting temperatures & cooking times. Cooking at 350 or higher with it closed is too high (so far I close the lid when I cook meats) temperature, I use 325 when grilling meats. I have not used it as a griddle yet because I bought it mainly for grilling purposes. Would recommend to anyone wanting to eat healthier!

Quick, easy and convienant

This is the first indoor grill I've ever owned. And I have to say, it's wonderful. No real setup. Just unpack and read the instructions. I've cooked hamburgers on three occasions and a boneless steak once and all came out very well. Clean up is also very easy. I have a microwave device for cooking bacon, so I can't answer to that. However, on examining the unit, I think that maybe lining the drip tray with aluminum foil might reduce the chances of the plastic tray cracking from the heat of the grease as reported by other users. You couldn't wrap the foil over the edges, but just laying the foil in the bottom may prevent the tray from cracking. Pre-heating of the unit takes only about 2 minutes, The cord is short, as pointed out by other reviewers. If you use a power strip, make sure it can handle the1400 or so watts this thing pulls. There is no booklet on cooking times, but a simple search of "foreman cooking times" or "foreman cooking times pdf" (I use the second) will give you a good guide to cooking on this unit. As this is my first unit, I found that this unit apparently cooks faster than the times for the Foreman unit, so I would take off 1 minute for each item if cooked individually. Test and see what your preferences are. I'm single and heating up a stove for cooking for just myself seemed a little excessive. So I am very happy with my unit so far. It does give off a little smoke on a steak, but not enough to set off my very sensitive smoke detector.. I think you like it. It's a very nice unit.

Steal this grill.

I really enjoy using this grill! It does what it is advertised to do and sometimes more. Easy to clean, easy to assemble, easy to maintain. Enough said. However, there is only one slight drawback for using this grill, the preheating time. Please do yourself a favor and wait for this grill to preheat. You will save yourself the frustrations of thinking that this product does not work when in fact it does. Oh and also another thing, wash the grill plates with dish washer soap before first use. Just do it. You will save yourself a headache. Search online for reasons why if your interested. This grill rocks. I just wished that there was a recipe book that went along with this purchase, that would have been a bonus!

Best bacon ever

This thing is awesome! It makes it easy to make perfectly cooked bacon, and cleanup is a breeze. No more curled up, undercooked ends of bacon strips. No more spatter all over the place. It drains the grease as the bacon cooks into an easy to empty pan, so the bacon is less greasy. The non-stick cooking surface is easy to remove and cleans up with very little scrubbing. I haven't done anything other than use it to cook bacon yet, but I'm already willing to declare it "awesome". I'm looking forward to using it to make grilled cheese and grilled ham and cheese sandwiches. I have to add that I have since used it to make grilled ham and cheese sandwiches. They were perfect also.
