I love using a outdoor grill, but having to go outside for a quick meal and having to prep the grill can be a pain. I tried this grill out to make a sirloin, and I like a good medium rare, so you simply plug it in, click the steak button, and wait for the led to show medium rare. It came out incredibly. I have also used it to make chicken, burgers, and a chicken pesto panini. It's an amazing machine that made me throw out my Foreman grill.
