Calphalon Kitchen Electrics 5 in 1 Removable Plate Grill

I've had the Calphalon 5 in 1 for two weeks now and I've used it three times and I was very happy with the setup, cooking and cleanup each time. We've made panini sandwiches, grilled steaks and grilled burgers on it. The panini sandwiches were excellent. The steaks and burgers were much better than pan fried and the clean up was much easier. We cooked a pound and a quarter of 85% burgers so you can imagine that there was quite a bit of runoff but the little catch tray held the grease and didn't spill. We like our burgers medium well done and that took about 8 minutes.

I would recommend the Calphon 5 in 1 to a friend.

I was in the market for a George Foreman grill but did research on different options and came across the Calphalon and Cusineart. I saw that the Cuisineart had a lot more reviews, so I went to my local Bed Bath and Beyond to actually see the products. After looking at both in detail, I opted for the Calphalon as it seems much more solid and sturdy. The cooking plates seem a lot more quality and my past experiences are of Calphalon cookware being more superior.

Both are VERY similar in construction and my opinion is that the components are what differentiates each but it will also make the difference. This what made me go for the Calphalon simply that the cooking plates are a little bit heavier and appear to be made of what the cookware is as well as the grill is more solid. I also attribute the many reviews for the Cuisineart as it is much cheaper and I won't doubt that it would worth that price but the Calphalon offers a better warranty out of the box (I couldn't find the one for Cuisineart).

I am pretty happy with the Calphalon, I tried it once so far and cooked some steaks and grilled Brussels sprouts and they came out great. The steak cooked medium rare in about 3 minutes, the Brussels sprouts I grilled for about 10 minutes. The clean up was very simple, the non stick is excellent. I think if you don't mind to spend the extra to get a more higher end grill like the Calphalon, I would do it. I think in the long wrong I will fair better.

We like this well enough to keep it. Great for a quick steak grilling, grilled cheese, etc. Only complaint so far is back legs are shorter than front so the cooking surfaces are not flat in either the closed or open position. Perhaps it was engineered this way to facilitate draining of fats, etc.

First try at cooking eggs failed as they all immediately slid off the grill, some into the drip pan, most onto the counter top. I suspect the same would happen with any liquid/semi-liquid, IE pancake batter.

I used George Forman grills for years and loved them. The last couple of them have not worked very well. Didn't really get hot enough. This gets hot enough to sear the meat and is easy to clean up. Makes tender boneless, skinless chicken breasts in bout 8 minutes. Love it so far!
