This grill has been recommended to me by a zillion people. My biggest
fear
is that is a pain in the neck to clean. Is it submersible or does it just
wipe off? (dishwasher safe would be even better, but I suppose that is
asking too much for an electric appliance). My other concern is how much
smoke it throws off. I have a small kitchen and storage space is at a
premium....it is this I am considering rather than the cost. Is it worth
finding one more place to cram something? I've heard it does a great
chicken breast.

I find it fairly easy to clean. I wait until it cools, scrape it with the
little scraper they provide and wipe it with wet paper towels.

I have a very small kitchen and don't have room to keep many applicances in
the house. I have a shelving unit in the garage right beside the kitchen
door that holds those items I don't use on a daily basis - bread maker,
crock pot, large stock pots, yogurt maker, etc. My kids refer to it as the
"appliance store". Yes - I'm an appliance junkie g

My sister gave me hers, which is one of the first models. She didn't

the booklet that came with it, and can't find a manufacturer's website

like
for steak, chicken, vegetables.

And if anyone has a favorite grilling recipe, please share!

I use mine all the time. Here's what I do. I bought some McCormick
"Season All" and some Pam Cooking Spray. I plug it in. I spray both
surfaces. I plop a piece of something down on it, sprinkle "Season All"
on it, and cover it. I put the drip pan at the bottom. I come back
some time later and it's ready. It's incredibly simple! I have never
ever used a timer, I just smell when it's done or I'm out of time for
waiting and eat it rare or I eat it over-done if I'm not paying
attention. I cook boneless breasts, pork loins chops and salmon fillets
on it.

My only complaint is that the coating is coming off after a solid year
of being used nearly every day. Maybe I shouldn't have used the Pam?
