Title: Trading Performance for Easy Cleaning
Review: If you own a first generation Foreman grill, you know the one aspect of using it you'd like to see improved. Cleaning it is a chore. This grill is a snap to clean, pop out the plates & into the dishwasher. Unfortunately this major improvement comes with a severe price. The performance of this grill is simply awful. The heating elements are, out of necessity, located behind the grill plates, relying on conduction to heat the actual cooking surfaces. Bad idea, or at least bad execution. The plates NEVER get hot enough to sear anything, even when preheated forever at the highest temperature setting (425 degrees, don't you believe it!). No browning, no sizzle, no flavor. Forget doing steaks in this, unless you like them ruined. 1 star only for ease of cleaning, otherwise, no stars. Why would anyone want a grill that doesn't grill, no matter how easy it is to clean?
