Seeking Indoor Grill

Tigriss — Sun, 13 Sep 2015 19:43:12 GMT

I'm looking for an indoor grill for two people that give great char flavor and works well. I have found an Oster that has ceramic plates and opens from a pannini maker to a 180 degree open grill for doing larger meals. It is $50 on Amazon.

Amazon Oster Ceramic Grill

I would like your thought and suggestions about purchasing one. I have a large griddle/grill for serving as a griddle function, but want something for quick sandwiches/veggies/meats without taking up the whole counter. THX

I've never hears of an indoor grill that imparts a charbroiled flavor. I do have instruction for using wood chips in a slow cooker If anyone wants it.

I realize that only charcoal will taste like charcoal, but want a great sear/burnt bits on my food.

This may not be exactly what you had in mind, but I purchased an Aroma Grillet on Amazon for around $40. It grills, steams, and acts as a slow cooker, so it is very versatile. It does leave "grill marks" for the char you are looking for, and is super easy to clean up. I highly recommend it.

Ha! I just saw this on HSN for $35, Item # 407-015 if anyone is interested. I love mine.

I have been coveting this grill for a long time but I was looking/hoping for something with a little more depth. I think if you are cooking smaller portions these appliances are a terrific idea!

I have that grill from HSN too and use it a lot. I also have a $400 Breville that is wonderful but even though the plates are removeable, it's heavy, heavy, and still harder to clean so I find myself reaching for the other one. But the Breville cooks more like a grill.

It's a little pricey, but we love our T-Fal Opti-Grill. Completely foolproof with a sensor that judges the thickness and how well done you like your steaks (beeps and changes colors for rare, med & well). Has settings for burgers, red meats, sausage, chicken, fish, sandwiches and a manual control that I've used to grill asparagus. Also has a button where you can cook frozen items, which I've done with burgers and fish and it worked great. Grill plates/drip pan are removable and dishwasher safe.

Amazon has it listed at $180 (which I think is similar to the infomercial), but got ours at Walmart for around $150. I believe you can also get them at Kohl's and BB&B if you have Kohl's cash or coupon. Generally gets good ratings and there are several threads here available through seach.

Thanks DeniseMB, I just remembered that I have some Kohl's cash from my Labor Day shopping. I'm off to see what Kohl's has and how much cash I got with my shopping.

If you want something quick that doesn't take up much counter space, you might just want to get a grill pan for the stove top.

You can get them in cast iron or non-stick. They range in price from $18 up (WAY up). Some come with a press for paninis or searing meats. When you finish using and cleaning it, it goes with the other pans and doesn't take up counter space.

I have a cast iron grill pan, but I don't want to use the stove because it heats up the house. I found the Aroma at Kohls with a ceramic coating instead of the non-stick. I'm pretty sure I'll use my Kohls cash on that! Thanks for the recommendation.
