I have been using my Hamilton Beach Indoor Searing grill with lid for a few weeks now and I must say it's absolutely amazing. I live in Maryland , so of course it gets cold here in the winter time. I'm so glad that I had the chance to use this. I love grilled foods and this indoor grill lets me able to enjoy that in the not so warm months as well.It was just like using a grill outside without all the smoke. :)
