I have one in the basement, but they were selling another one (brand) on David's show yesterday. Only watched the last hour and I thought that one was quite big.

We don't use ours. I actually thought it was a pain to wash. But I watched how the lady pulled the top and bottom off to clean up. I'd probably burn myself doing that. I have limited space and cupboards over counters, and I could just see that happening. I could be wrong.

Did anyone get this? I'm sure someone did, but for 2 nothing that large is needed. At least not here. It might be great for a larger family.

Did anyone else see this and what did you think?

I didn't see yesterday's presentation, but I have a GF where you can detach the grill plates to wash them. I rarely do, though, actually, only if I am grilling hamburgers. Right after grilling, usually a chicken tender, I just clean up with a paper towel.

The grill plates have sides (for handles) that do not get hot.

We have a GF grill and hubby uses it a lot, for chicken, fish, burgers, chops, etc. It has the detachable plates and he sets a timer to let them cool first and then washes. We have a smaller version but big enough for the 2 of us. Have had it for a number of years and works great.

I have the early version of the GF and very recently, decided I wanted a new grill with removable plates. It came down to the Cuisinart Griddler, the T-Fal, and the George Foreman 2-in-one evolve grill (in platinum). I chose the GF based on reviews and ordered it through Amazon. It is supposed to arrive on Wednesday. The plates are removable and ceramic so we'll see.

I have the GF that was on-air yesterday, and I love it. It works well, and the fact that I can remove the plates and run them through the dishwasher makes cleanup a snap.

I have never burned myself -- even when changing hot plates (from the baking pan to the waffle plates). If burning oneself is a concern, simply wait until it cools off to clean up. No trouble at all!

ITA. The original one of years ago has come a long way baby.

I am glad to hear that you like yours, KYToby.

I have been thinking about getting a counter-top grill again.

We used to have a GF grill years ago, when they first came out, where you couldn't remove the panels to clean them. In our opinion, it was a hassle to clean for that reason only. Otherwise, we really like the concept.

I like the newer version with the removable plates for easier cleaning, plus the fact that you can switch the plates out and also use it to make waffles, too.

I would consider getting another one of these grills.

We have an older one, can remove the plates, we love ours and use it often. Especially in winter, when it is too cold and windy to grill outdoors. It is easy to clean.

I have one that the plates do not come out. I do use it pretty regularly, but what I do is I place aluminum foil on the plates. When it cools down, all I have to do is toss the foil. Didn't use it much before I started doing that.

Thanks for the foil hint. I like mine to cook a steak & salmon, but I dread cleaning it. It's an old one & does not have removable plates. I do like how fast it cooks & plan on using it tonight with foil.
