Hamilton Seaside 3-in-1 Electrical Indoor Grill + Griddle, 8-Serving, Reversible Nonstick Plates, 2 Cooking Zones with Adjustable Temperature (38546), Black

perfect for eggs or steak, easy to clean, great for “grilling” in a NYC apartment
We purchased this item because the gas line to our apartment broke, and we have no stove. Something as simple as eggs for breakfast was almost impossible using a pan on the hot plate, but this does eggs perfectly and can easily fit five eggs plus five whites (or probably could fit eight regular eggs.) We are both athletes and my boyfriend jokingly refers to his breakfast as “the Gaston,” plus we live in downtown Manhattan, so it is really helpful that the square surface allows you to do more eggs in the same amount of counter-space, and you can still get the spatula under the edge nicely. Our former method, a 12″ pan, couldn’t fit all the eggs and we’d have to do his and mine one after another, or dirty two pans on two burners. The grill plates pop right out to wash, and the square shape takes up less space in the sink and drying rack than said pan. It fits in a row just like a plate.It probably seems stupid that I’m so excited about a grill, but when you live in a shoebox, weight train, and do circus acrobatics for a living, it’s really a large part of your life trying to shove enough protein in your face (god knows we can’t afford to eat out after paying rent) and still have room to turn around in your overpriced shoebox.Both sides are reversible for grill (ridges) or griddle (flat) so steak, chicken, pork chops, kebabs, etc: all a thing in our lives once more! I missed having an outdoor grill back in the day and god knows “grilling” in a pan on a hot plate is a no-go. We even “grilled” for his birthday party last weekend on this little guy, and put out enough steak, burgers, sausages, eggplant, zuchinni for 30 people. In our tiny freaking apartment. All the other New Yorkers who picture summer bbqs as something that requires going home to another state where people have things called “backyards” were blown away. I think I’m going to try to figure out how to do s’mores on this next time.It’s so useful that even though the landlord is replacing our stove, we’re going to keep it. We still have no place for an outdoor grill, and buying a cast-iron griddle/grill to put on top of an electric stove is silly and wouldn’t heat as quickly, plus those bastards are way more annoying to wash. I cannot over-emphasize: this appliance is so useful we’re going to give it dedicated counter/cabinet space in *addition* to a working stove in a 500 sq foot apartment.Totally, ridiculously happy with this purchase.

This thing is a Gem. So easy to clean and use. Definitely glad we decided to upgrade from unit with attached grills.Amazing for breakfasts. The non stick is outstanding! Never had any issues!

Not as easy to clean but not difficult either .. Almost daily use so far so I’m waiting to see how long it lastsPrinted numbers on the dials are already almost gone from simple wiping and maintenance, so that’s something to fixNo smoke so far during grillingSo far so good as “new products” generally are in the beginning. Based on almost daily use and proper maintenance that will continue for a household of 3, this affordable product is being tested for its life span6-12 months from now when the warranty expires is down the road. I’ve only had this product for 2-3 weeks so far. I wait to see how this product works long-term, post warranty for daily use.I bought this product for daily grilling, not just another small appliance to store away in the cupboard once a “cooking phase” has passed. I like grilled veg, fruit, and occasionally meat —— and barbecue grilling is not always ideal during winter months ..So I’m trying this product out for now to see how long its lifespan is. 6 months from now I might have a different more positive or negative review. Time will tell .. I am with hope that this is all I will have to buy for indoor grilling during the cold months of the year ..
