After watching the Granite Stone smokeless electric indoor grill on ITKWD wondering if there are any indoor grill recommendations / suggestions / tips?

I'm thinking @SharkE likes a particular one?

I have tried so many indoor grills its ridiculous! My test is steaks and all the grills ive tried usually steam them despite saying they grill. In November I bought The Ninja 6 in 1 grill with the thermometer. All I can say is WOW. I love that thing . It does so much but it actually grills the steaks. You can pick the degree of doneness and it automatically shuts off when it reaches that temp. It does fish wonderfully and air frys pizza rolls in 7 minutes. I havent tried baking yet but the grill and air fryer are great. I highly recommend it. Oh yes, it tell you when to add the food and even when to flip it. Its great.

@meem120 & @SharkE

Thank you both for the detailed tips, I really appreciate it, I'm going to check out both. The one on ITKWD today seemed too small and not sturdy. Really looking forward to clearing the smoke in the kitchen, when I use my stovetop grill pan, it's too much smoke.

I have the Ninja Foodi Grill. I use it at least 3 times a week. We cook steaks, chicken, fish everything. No smoke. It has 4 functions. Grill, roast, bake and air fry.

I now air fry my meatballs. We never turn on our oven anymore. Also very easy to clean.

This is my favorite countertop appliance.

@rockygems123 I have the Power XL, and it is great. There isn't any smoke and the cover helps prevent grease splatter. We've done burgers and steaks and they turn out delish !!!!

I have a Hamilton Beach Indoor counter grill - not one of the big names these days, but it's a great little grill. I bought it mainly for steaks because it has a "sear" temperature setting. At that high temperature, almost all of the steaks I've done are finished in 6 to 7 minutes. Also great for hot dogs, hamburgers and shrimp. DH bought it on Amazon a couple of years ago. Just a basic little grill and clean up is fairly easy.

@meem120 : I can't decide Ninja 5 in 1 or 6 in 1. We are trying to eat healthier and need to eat more fish. Plus we love roasted vegetables an don't want to use the oven in summer. Plus concerned about my counter top space.

@SouthernBee I think the only diffrence is the thermometer, Ive used it several times and theres a bit of a learning curve with that but it tells you what to do and when to do it. The air crisp is wonderful, much better than my first air fryer. Pizza rolls, tater tors and frech fries are golden and crisp in just 8 minutes. The grill is fabulous. we've done steaks, and all kinds of fish. just a few minutes and like i said it tells you exactly what to do and when. like add the meat, flip the meat, meat is done. I bought mine at Kohls beginning of Dec. It was $220 on sale and I had $40. in Kohls cash to use. When I bought it I also got $40 in Kohls cash, so it was a deal. So keep looking for sales there. I hope if you. get it, you love it as much as I do. My husband laughs at me about it!

Also, cleanup is a breeze I put everything in dishwasher.

@meem120 : Thank you for taking the time to respond. I had the original George Forman grill and never really liked it. A few years ago purchased the Hamilton Beach grill and ready for something different. I have purchased so many varieties of kitchen appliances and then been disappointed. I really what to do a lot of research before purchasing. I have been busy reorganizing because my store space is limited but wanted something multifunctional, easy to use and quick and easy cleaning. Thanks again.🤗❤️

I had the George Foreman grill. The steaks ,burgers, bratwurst would get done on just half the meat. Not even cooking at all. And the top grill plate would come off while cooking. I threw it out.

@SouthernBee I too bought so many of these things. I usually gave them away or just chucked them. Im really impressed with this grill. I dont think you really need the thermometer but its nice to have. I just saw an article about how to use the air crisper for ears of corn. Now I cant wait to try that. Its an investment for sure, but I got a great deal at Kohls. I looked at the darn thing for months and finally took the plunge.

@meem120 : We went to Sam's today. I looked at the Ninja foodie gril $199.98 and the power grill for $79. I like the Ninja foodie with the other options for cooking. It is big and weighs 22. 4 . I am concerned about my counter space. For me my best price will be with Bed Bath & Beyond with the 20 % coupon and free shipping for the ninja 5 in 1 $159 plus tax and they only have two. We will have our taxes done on the 10 th and praying for a refund. DH said ok but if I don't like it.... this will be the last kitchen item purchased. Stated to expense to donate or give to someone. I understand and agree . So still undecided.
