"After reading the reviews on this wonderful little grill, I hesitated in buying it online so bought it at Wal-Mart in case I wanted to return it immediately. Clean up time using hot, sudsy dish water in the sink for all three pieces of the grill plates and grease tray takes me one minute and ten seconds! The truth is that it a smaller grill and even though it would not be suitable for a family of four in my opinion, but I would still highly recommend it to anyone without hesitation. Two, Five and one half inch by Four inch Rib eye, Top Sirloin, Chopped Sirloin, or other kinds steaks arranged side by side lengthwise from the top to the bottom on the grill surface. Three, Three one quarter pound (or larger), hamburger patties arranged in two rows with two on the top and one on the bottom of the grill surface. Three slices of thick cut bacon arranged in rows from the top to the bottom of the grill horizontally. But I think that the measurements I have listed above should give you a good idea of the sizes of foods that you can cook on the grill. The flavor will already be soaked up into the pours of the meat so drying it won't change the taste after you cook it. I have found this to be 100% true in the past after I ruined several pieces over a short time in the dishwasher and they stuck like glue when I tried to use them from then on. I looked at a small single serving George Foreman grill at Wal-Mart and it was rated at 650 Watts so it could have a longer 30" cord."
"This grill works fine. This grill works fine, it might take longer than the older version, but the convenience of the removable plate clean up is well worth it."
"The initial deal-breaker was less the alarming amount of caustic smoke during the first preheat but rather how heavy the top is and how dry the resulting hockey puck which used to be a burger. If need be, you can also prop the front up using something under the handle, I haven't needed to do that yet but I'm only making 2 1/4lb 80/20 frozen burgers and now they aren't hockey pucks but juicy and with wonderful grill marks. So try the rolled up foil trick and remember you can also prop up the front via the handle to let the plates just touch the food. See the pictures and notice that from the side view you can see there is a range of places ranging from all the way at the back to all the way at the front to put the food. Also, when grilling hot dogs or other cylindrical sausages and placing them horizontally, prop up the front feet by 3/4" and the fat will still drain but they won't try to roll off down the front when you open the grill. This raising of the front feet also has the effect of the top not exerting as much pressure on the food, assuming you use my "fix" of putting the foil log at the back. Other than the smoke on first preheat, I'm happy with this indoor grill."
Evolve 4-in-1 Versatility- Grill, Panini Press, Bake Dish, Muffin Pan. This model includes ceramic grill plates (for grilling and Panini pressing), a bake dish (for baking, sautéing, and griddling), and a muffin pan (for muffins, single-serve quiches, meatballs, and more.). You can drain excess fat from meat using the classic sloped grilling surface, or lay the grill flat when using the baking and muffin pans or creating gourmet Panini. The Evolve preheats quickly, efficiently grills and bakes all types of food, and its easy to cleanup thanks to the nonstick, removable plates. Remove 42% of Fat- The classic George Foreman Grill slope removes up to 42% of fat during cooking, conveniently draining grease into the dishwasher-safe drip tray.

"We have had our share of George Foreman grills, from the Champ Grill and Jumbo Size Grill in 2004, to three with removable plates, to the indoor/outdoor grill in 2007 (I looked up our 6 Amazon orders). ;-). The others with removable grill plates were supposedly easy to clean, but I remember especially on the indoor/outdoor grill that I had to scrub and scrub to get them clean, so much so that it was almost not worth it. I'm not a cook and we usually eat out, but since having this 2-in-1 Evolve Grill we've been eating at home more often. Make sure you put in the grill plates BEFORE heating up the grill. Geeze, I just made chicken tonight and. guess what, opened the grill to put on the chicken and no grill plates so had to unplug it and start over... (this wasn't the first time I pulled that trick)."
"Anyway I had a couple of Costco's chicken breast marinating in the fridge when my new grill arrived so I started grilling right out of the box. Yes I know, some reviewers will assume the old grill was better because all you had to do was close the lid and eventually you got it right, but one thing you never could cook on the old grill is "Jiffy Cornbread" which I perfectly cooked on my new grill today."
"The bottom plate is fine, but the top plate has completely failed."

"Nice price for a simple, handheld smoker."
"As a vegan I enjoy adding smokey flavor to my lentil loafs and veggie burgers."
"I smoked a couple of adult tequila beverages and they were elevated to that $12 drink you pay at the upscale joints."
"I made jerk chicken and used hickory chips to smoke at the end."
"I received a full size smoker for Christmas but I actually don't want to spend the time involved with the smoking process or store the darn thing,so I returned it. A pint container of fine shavings will last a very long time."
"Gave this as a Holiday gift for a family member along with a sample pack of wood chips that are sold to go with a much more expensive smoker."
"To it's credit it does generate smoke eventually, but the smoke quality is terrible."

"Broils fish perfectly."
"Once u get past the fact that top and bottom heating elements are always on and u can't switch them off individually, and there's no window to check in your food, it's great."
"very good pizza oven the first one we got is over 15 years old and still going, these ovens make the pizza taste much better and cook very evenly."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I don't own this unit but use it at a hospital where it serves in the break room of a department of around 50 people. There is another one of these units in the hospital cafeteria where it is subjected to the general public abuse of countless patient visitors and hospital staff who don't give a damn about another's property. At least in a commercial restaurant, the employees are trained and motivated by the owner not to abuse the equipment. The manufacturing label on the two units indicate they are made in Thailand, not China."
"Instead of a push-button control panel whose buttons will inevitably crack or get desensitized, you have an "infinite rotation" wheel that is solidly attached; and because it's not calibrated physically it won't get out of alignment. I was surprised at how well this works in practice -- food consistently requires less stirring and has less temperature variation after heating than with any other microwave I've ever owned or used. If you'd like to use variable temperatures or auto-cook, or presets for popcorn, or have another clock or timer, or have something that's also a convection oven, or do anything other than heating food or food-like stuff in an intuitive and foolproof way, look elsewhere."
"The two downsides are that this version only has stainless on the front panel, the sides are painted grey, and since they show in my kichen it is ugly, but I did remove the stainless housing from my old oven and switched with the grey, it fit perfectly and once I figured out how it was held on it was quite easy to replace. Aside from my two gripes the oven works great, I love the small size, it fits well in the corner, and hopefully will last 11 years like the other one."
