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.


You just wipe it off. I find that's easiest while it's still warm, or you
can plug it back in for a minute to heat it up again before cleaning it.

Maybe because I spray it with pam, but I find that gunky stuff sticks to
it, especially at the bottom. I end up holding it on the bridge
inbetween my double sink and scrubbing it off most of the time. A few
swishes with the scrubby sponge and it's done. (I don't tend to get
around to doing this until the next time I want to use it, so it sits
around dirty most of the time. I've learned to stick a wet paper towel
in it so it doesn't get crusted on.)

There isn't any smoke from it, I've been using mine pretty much every day
for several years now.

No smoke.

I also have a small kitchen, but it's well worth the space.

It was particularly useful when my kitchen was out of commission. It
doesn't take up much room. Mine is on my counter most of the time, or
hanging upside down in the drying rack.

The reason to get it is that it makes quick tastey low-fat meat. If
you're trying to get more lean protein into your diet it's a great way
to cook the ubiquitous chicken breast and salmon fillets that I eat all
the time.

none of the GF come apart.

Well, our Jenn-Air cooktop works that way, but I assume you're talking
about a small appliance of some sort. I haven't seen one like that.

My biggest fear
is that is a pain in the neck to clean. Is it submersible or does it jus

I do find mine a pain in the neck to clean! My sister said that she puts two
wet paper towels on hers once she is through cookin, and closes the lid..
(unplug it of course) Once it has set for a while it does seem to be easier to
clean. Beverly Banks

It does great for chicken breasts, and any other kind of meat as
well.

Don't think that it's just for meat. It also does a fantastic job with
veggies. I've even made grilled cheese on mine.

We have the family size one. We find it takes only about 5-6 minutes for
things. I think it's even a few minutes less for steak (it tends to dry
out
quickly).

I don't have any specific recipes. It's actually not one of our favorite
machines (I personally find the food tastes kind of funny afterwards).

Me too. I was given one a while ago, used it once and gave it away. I didn't
like the way food tasted. I prefer my cast iron grill pan.

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

request any info. I'm just looking for some basic cooking timetables,
like
for steak, chicken, vegetables.

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

I use a Henckel's Grill Pan which is "topless" and enjoy it very much.
However, more fat and juices drain off when using a conventional
broiler.

The Henckel's grill pan cleans in a flash. You can either wipe it or
use a teflon scouring pad for the gritty stuff.

Don't use Pam on grills or waffle irons. It can't take the heat and turns
gummy and doesn't help with the non-stick. The GF grills are non-stick
already. I've never used any type of oil or spray on mine.

Wipe it off while it is still warm. Once it cools off it is harder to clean.
I actually got my GF grill at the Goodwill for $3.00. There was no book or
recipe book either, but it works ok. We do chicken breasts on it,
hamburgers, the kids have done toasted cheese, frozen french fries, chicken
nuggets, all sorts of stuff.

I've got the baby GF grill and I wouldn't cook chicken any other way now. I use
it probably 5 days a week.

I've found in the year or so that I've been using it that it's better not to
marinade the meat prior to cooking - the sauce can get very sticky when it
heats up and make cleaning more difficult. But saying that, it makes plain
chicken taste amazing anyway, in my opinion. I will sometimes add hoi sin or
other sauce after cooking.

Cleaning my GF is easy - I use my pan scourer (dishcloth) to wet it down
immediately after I unplug it and then leave it to cool slightly. It then just
needs a wipe with paper towels afterwards.

I love my GF grill - it lives in the counter unlike so many other kitchen
appliances which are gathering dust in cupboards.

I have a B&D Health Zone grill and the cooking plates snap out and clean up
very easily once they cool. I imagine they go in the dishwasher, but I wash
mine off. HTH
