So far, we've used this for both chicken and ground beef, and we LOVE it! It cooks evenly, and I love that it shows where in the cooking process it is. It is so easy to clean, unlike previous countertop grills we have had. I love that you can choose which food product you are cooking with a touch of a button. The top of the grill is heavy, which both pushes more grease and fat out of the food and cooks grill lines into the meat. It's build sturdy and solid, and I know it will last us for years to come -- and we will be using it VERY often!
