I really like the idea of having an indoor grill for smaller meals. I tried it out with some Hamburger patties but I should have tried it with the grill side. It took a bit longer than I thought it would. It's great for making pancakes and is nonstick. Overall, not a bad grill! It's sleek and lightweight.  I wish you could put the plates in the dishwasher. You can put the detachable lid in tho! Not too bad!
