Indoor Grill?

Anyone have one or use one to cook on often? Looking for something to do steaks and chicken on, maybe some fish every once in a while. Apartment doesn't have an outdoor area, so I need something that I can use inside my kitchen.

So far I have found the following, but very little info is available on all this:
Kenyon
Dimplex
Hamilton Beach

If I could cook something just 3 nights a week instead of picking up something on the way home it would help out a TON!!!

Re: Indoor Grill?

Would a grill pan for the stove be an option?

These are pretty good. Not as much surface area and a pain to clean but they're better than nothing.

It may have to be. Just a cast iron skillet is starting to sound like the way that it may have to be. Not that easy to cook chicken on it though.....

Re: Indoor Grill?

I used to have the Big George model of the George Foreman grill series and that thing was awesome. It has a stand and a lid like a Weber but it is electric and there are no issues using it indoors. The lid allows for everything to stay around the meat or whatever while it is cooking so it gives more of a grill like flavor over anything else I have used. Super easy to clean and you can cook a lot of food on it, it gets really hot for searing steaks as well.

I don't even know if they make it anymore, I got rid of mine when I got a house and use a gas grill but it was fantastic while I had it.

Re: Indoor Grill?

Amazon delivered this one to my door yesterday; I'lll let you know how it works out! There is also a smaller and cheaper version if you aren't cooking for 5 people.

I will take a look at this one also, but I always considered the Foreman grills kind of..... "janky" if that makes sense.

Funny, my mom bought my that exact one about 5 years ago for Christmas and at the time didn't need an indoor grill so I had her return it. Funny how time changes everything.

I can understand that but this thing is far from a typical Foreman grill, it survived several moves during my college days along with spending a year in a fraternity house where things were hardly taken care of. Never had one issue with it.

Here is a link to the one I used (WFS)

Re: Indoor Grill?

I have had a George Forman grill for about 6 or 8 years and its still going strong. I was once like you that thought it was just marketing but this thing is amazing, cooks anything you put on it and works great. Love mine. Get the big one that has the thermostat built in. Mine just has the "on" button and sometimes i have to turn it off and on to cook something throughout. BUt these are great grills.
