Presto 09020 Cool Touch Electric Indoor Grill

I love this thing! I was researching all of the indoor grills forever. I was going back and forth between this one and the hamilton beach grill. I picked this one because I "visited" the other grill at walmart, and it had a very small cooking surface. Two burgers if you were lucky. This one however is the same size as all the other presto griddle. Very large. Last night I cooked 4 1/3lb hamberger patties on it, and I probably could have fit 6 if I needed to. I've only had this about a week, and I've used it twice, so I can't say how long it will work, but looks good for now. Now for washing. I had trouble finding a straight answer so I'm going to give you one. Basically It comes with the grill, attached to a plastic stand, and it has two little prongs on it. This whole thing I just discribed is washable with water in your sink or dishwasher safe. The electric cord that comes with it, is not water proof. But you just unplug it from the grill. Easy peasy. It is big, so I've just been hand washing it and drying it right after. Now, for popping and grease splatters... I cooked teriyaki steak strips, no mess at all, and my daughter who is 9 did most of the cooking, (boy did she love being a chef!) She is normally scared of splattering food. But not with this. Then I made the burgers... Lol. There was no painful splattering, but oh was there a mess to clean up! Lol. Worth it though. So my advice. Lay a splatter screen ontop of these kinds of food. Should help alot. Next- does it have the bbq flavor???? No friggin way. Lol. It doesn't compare to your bbq. But it's better than pan cooking things that should be grilled if that makes sense. Prefect grill marks, cooks alot of the fat off that you just scrape away instead of letting it sit in there. Gets a nice sear on the meat etc.. lastly, the temp control: it goes up to 400 degrees, and I first thought it could be hotter for searing. But after cooking the burgers I see now that if it went any hotter, it would be almost dangerous. This is just right. To sear the meat, you just preheat it for 10-15 mins. Set the meat of and wait. If it's not brown enough, just wait a little longer. All in all this this is great and you can wash it, instead of wipe it clean (gross, and a huge pain) this is the grill to go with, trust me, I did research on ALL of them. Lol good luck grilling folks!

Everyone has reasons for their purchases but for me it was about time and convenience. Although we love it, there isn't always time for the charcoal grill. What I can't get in flavor from charcoal, I make up for in great seasonings!This grill is a nice alternative, no matter what the weather. Rain, heat or limited time can keep me indoors sometimes and I grew tired of not having the ability to grill when I wanted to. This grill fit the bill perfectly for 2 people and performs well. Haven't noticed any cold spots.Great for chicken, burgers, steak, practically anything you would do on an outdoor grill. Veggies come out fantastic. Have grilled squash, zucchini and onions so far brushed with a little olive oil. The secret is letting it get hot before use.My preference is to heat the grill to 350, not 400 as the booklet suggests. With chicken breasts, I heat it up and brush a little olive oil directly on the grill. I put on the marinated chicken, place a little foil tent over the meat and cook until the breasts internal temp reaches 165, turning once. YUM! Juicy and not burnt. And I get those nice grill marks! (Be aware dark meat requires a higher internal temp of 180 degrees for safe consumption.) You don't have to foil it, but I think the foil enhances how juicy the chicken ends up...Clean up is simple...I wish everything were as easy to clean as this little grill and my Nesco electric pressure cooker!

I have had the privilege of using a couple of other presto products in the past, and overall I have been quite impressed with their ease-of-use, easy clean ability, and their overall performance. This grill did not disappoint either! I had another indoor electric grill from another brand which I won’t mention, it wore out. Did not want to spend a whole bunch of money on something new, and found this unit to be an excellent compromise. here’s what’s excellent about it. I like the temperature control, however it would be nice if they could make it reach a higher temperature than 400° which would make steaks easier to grill but it’s still relatively easy to operate. that’s because the temperature notches are easy to follow and helps to ensure you’re getting close to an exact reading for what you’re planning to prepare. also impressed with how easy it is to clean, the product description says you can place everything except the temperature control in the dishwasher, however so far I have not found it to be necessary to do so. i’m not sure I would want to do that anyway because of the anti-skid seat on the underside of the legs which I’m afraid may melt if you do put the grill in the dishwasher, so if you do you may want to pull those out first. so far I’ve cooked a couple of different products on the grill, and they’ve each turned out very well, hamburgers and steaks. here’s why this is not quite a five star product. First, I’m not quite sure how long the nonstick coating will last because it doesn’t seem terribly thick, But for the relatively low price that may be nitpicky. The other issue I mentioned previously, would like to see the ability to cook at a higher temperature than 400°. tall steaks take quite a long time to cook on it. I guess the benefit is you don’t have to worry about something like that burning right away so that may be nitpicking as well. those minor issues aside, I would absolutely not hesitate to buy this especially if you’re looking for something relatively inexpensive that could be used to cook for one or two people anytime.

Very good and strong electric grill. Been using it twice a week for my Korean BBQ meal since last month. It works best with think cuts of beef and sausages and steak. Non sticky and easy to clean grill where you can detach the cord. The adjustable temperature works fine, the detachable power cord is convenient, it comes with a scraper spatula for cleaning grease. Basically a good electric grill if you like eating BBQ indoor.

Práctica herramienta de cocina, buen tamaño y lo mejor de todo, fue el precio.

C’est cool

bien .peut etre un peu faible en puissance

Unfortunately I just open this even though I bought an in October 2020. Because I had moved and just found, I opened it up to discover there is no power cord with that. And because it is past the time now it’sjunk
