Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon 1759546 Electric Panini Grill
Customer Review: This Grill Works!
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, this grill works. After reading some very mixed reviews, I am pleased to say that Calphalon delivers on everything it promises. I have owned this grill for 5 months now and am very pleased.
To address some common complaints:
- It's true that it doesn't create a smoked bbq flavor, which has been a common complaint, but why would anyone expect that anyhow?
- It's powerful and hot enough for everything I've thrown on the grill. It cooks chicken and steak all the way through, assuming that the meat isn't thicker than 3/4 inch or so. But if you want a full-sized Barbecue like grill, this may be too small.
- It seems best suited for grilling paninis, veggies, fish, hamburgers, and chicken breasts. Again, it's just a small electric grill, so it's not as hot as charcoal. A two inch thick T-bone steak may be a bit much, but mine's worked so well that I wouldn't be surprised if it could handle that too!
- The top and bottom plates do an excellent job of heating evenly on both sides. Complaints about long pre-heating and grilling times have not occurred with my grill.
- Some have complained about the meat looking microwaved. Hmmm, I suppose so. . . I've found that my meat looks very much like it was cooked between two hot metal plates, absent flame, smoke or ash.
- The little plastic height spacer is flimsy, so don't hit it wish a hammer too often.
- The only valid complaint really is that the grease drip pan slips free from the grill when you pick it up to move it. It's location, however is perfect, situated in the back where it can collect the grease best when the grill is opened regularly during cooking. An Excellent design feature.
All in all, I have been completely satisfied. The timer is a Great asset. The stainless steel looks phenomenal and cleans up easily. Speaking of which, I've never cleaned a non-stick grilling surface with more ease.
Rest assured, this is a Great Grill!
