Anyone who hasn't heard of indoor grilling (or at the very least, George Foreman's line of indoor grills) has been living under a rock. These handy devices are popping up everywhere and even novice cooks are throwing a steak or burger on when the mood strikes. However, to get a model that will cook more than a small chicken breast, you often feel like you need to take out a second mortgage! The folks at Hamilton Beach are trying to lower the bar on the entry to family indoor grilling by offering a unique HealthSmart Contact Grill.
HealthSmart Contact Grill In a world of hundred dollar indoor grills, Hamilton Beach produces one that has:
Channels that drain fat into drip tray for low-fat meals,
A nonstick surface that wipes clean,
The ability to grill both sides at once for meals in 10 minutes or less,
A variable heat selector that offers maximum grilling versatility
A large 100 sq. inch surface that fits 6 hamburgers
All for a list price of $69.99 -- and a retail price that is usually around $40.
The Pros The biggest thing this model has over comparable George Foreman and other indoor grills I've seen is price. You can stop off at Walmart on your way home from work and probably pick this model up for about $40 -- while you'll spend at least twice that on the celebrity-sold models. I guess they don't work cheap!
While grilling, it's nice to be able to see any extra fat slide off the grill and into the drip tray that catches grease while cooking and is easily removable and even dishwasher safe ... making cleanup a snap. Having heat applied from both sides makes cooking most items quick, usually less than 10 minutes!
