Advantages: fast, not too expensive tastes good
Disadvantages: cant cook eggs like commercial said

Since my last one broke I actually got one of these. This is in addition to the other two that somehow we got for christmas from different relatives. Suffice to say I have tried them all. Origionally the one I started with like 10 years ago was from an info commercial. That one finally died on me so I got this one. This is a really handy little tool to have around. I use it to mostley save time or if i want something with toasted bread i use this ...
...her review grilled cheese is good, i do prefer that the old fashioned way though. THis is probably more healthy though since you do not have to grill it with butter unless you choose to. I tyically use this after a big meal. For examle the boss ( aka wife) makes a turkey and dressing dinner. The next day I can throw a bit of stuffing, turkey and a little cheese on a sandwhich and takes this to work. It's pretty neat and I do not have to worry about ... Read review

Advantages: fast clean up can use for foods you just dont pan fry
Disadvantages: one non hot spot

A good griddle is very nice to have and almost essential for some of the things that I cook. This one has a very good temperature control and two cooking surfaces. One cooking surface is what you would find on a bbq type grill and the other is a flat grill. Some of the things that this is very useful for making include cheesesteaks, bacon, eggs, homefries and griddle cakes. One thing I think is essential to cook on something like this is an omlette. ...
...a pan without breaking it. Here you just spread some egg around make sure it does not get all over, put the toppings in and roll er up like a burrito. Being non-stick clean up is a breeze. You can remove the cooking surface and clean it then wife the unit or leave it on. One thing I do not like about it is that it seems the side opposite the power dial at the very edge sometimes does not get as hot as the rest of the grill. Other than that its great. ... Read review

Advantages: great grilled sanwiches fuss free cleanup easy
Disadvantages: I do not like much cooked meat on it

...make lunch and recall that George Foreman was talking about making grilled cheese with this back in the day. So I deced to put my turkey club in this. I use bread, turkey, american, bacon, and tomato. I make it into a sandwich and then put it into the grill in sandwich form. It turned out very delicious. I would actually say it turned out as good if not better than in the sandwich maker and I did not have smash it down. I put extra turkey in instead ...
...The item also has a bun warmer you can use at the top if you were going to cook a burger, it has room for two patties so you could make a double. I do not use the top as I found it gets the buns too dry. I think this is a better sandwich maker than many others. I may try the elvis peanut butter sandwich in this to see if I can get away with not using butter to grill it. Very important though, I do spary pam in the area that I will be cooking in. ...

Advantages: easy clean up. versitle
Disadvantages: teflon

This is one of those intresting gadgets that is in my kitchen that I do not use ultra often. I must say it does have its good uses though and does get pulled out. I have not seen them very often but for like $60 it is a pretty good gadget at times. As you may be able to tell from looking you have two sides to the grill. One side is your standard foreman grill that is two edged floating sides and cooks on both the top and bottom. The other side is ...
...side but acceptable. It is non stick coated and you can control the temperatues for insuring that you do not burn the stuff that you would like to cook. Clean up is super easy. I use two sponges and just wipe it down and its fine. I prefer a stainless steel grill but as of yet have been unable to find one. I am not really big on non stick due to all the health issues I hear can occur but this is a good thing to have. I primarly use it for breakfest. ... Read review

Advantages: closest I have found to ballpark
Disadvantages: does not quite do it, prefer bbq

As a sports fans I must admit I really enjoy hot dogs. There is a saying that a hot dogat the ballpark is better than a steak at the Ritz. This quite possibly is true. The rotating style like this machine is one way to cook hot dogs. Of course you can also pan fry, boil, steam, bbq, bake, deep fry and yet others. What you do is put hot dogs, or sausages on the steel rollers and they basically cook themselves. There is a temperature control, so if ...
...to keep them warm once they reach desired doneness. Clean up is not really hard. You basically take the rollers and drip tray out and wipe it down with a sponge then wipe it off. The rollers have a non-stick coating so you do not want to scour them or you will mess it up I got this to try to simulate the taste of hot dogs from the ball park. This does not quite do it. I will say this machine does some the closest. It also cooks pretty even. There ... Read review
