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.

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

The only indoor grill I will ever buy is a George Foreman, they are the best!!!

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.

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.
