Great for indoor grilling. The fat drips in the tray and meat taste great

My previous RONCO grill worked for 7 years. It's my every day helper. Therefore, I had to order another one.So far so good.

My parents had had a similar device when I was a teenager. It cooked steak wonderfully. This one is quite a bit larger, but really underpowered. It claims you can cook a steak Medium in 11-13 minutes. Mine was still raw. Ended up cooking it for 30 minutes, the maximum limit of the timer, and the meat was barely cooked. I will grill my ribeye steaks in the oven from now on. This might be usable for a very lean round or sirloin.

Operates a bit like a toaster.I have owned and used one of these for quite a few years. It sears both sides quickly and evenly and rarely smokes.All drippings baste meat as it drips down to a pan that easily and occasionally swipes out.

so far:lobster tails - very nicewings - very nicethighs - very nice, very very juicysteak - not amazing, but good (doesn't get QUITE hot enough for that true sear, but still good if nice cut of meat, properly seasoned, properly cut, etc)green beans, brussel sprouts - very nice, similar to roasting in oven, just olive oil and salt/pepper before cookingplan to do shrimp and fish. expect it to work well. seems easy to clean. only reason i'll decide this thing sucks is if one of the heating elements breaks after a month or something. we'll see.

this has been around for a long time. viewed some infomercials from 7 years ago. arrived on time on perfect condition. have used twice. first time followed guide & a little over cooked. cut back a few minutes & second time was perfect. only thing misleading is capacity. ads show feeding a family of 4 to 5. impossible. I was surprised when I took the rack out of the box. about 7" by 10 3/4" that family must not be hungry! but - for 1 or 2 people this is just right. clean up super easy and doesn't take up a lot of space

I really love this grill!! This is a replacement for my older one which the timer went on it. Keep this unit unplugged when not in use. I had an instance with my older unit where the timer didn’t turn off and stayed on even though it passed the time set. I use this frequently for toast, steak and hamburgers.

This grill works like a large toaster. This means that more of the fat drips out - into an easy clean drip tray. There is no temperature control, but you don't really need one. Cooking is done in around 12 - 15 minutes. The only control is a mechanical timer. The cooking area is around 10.5" x 6.5", which will hold 4 average burgers, 6 average sausages or 2 steaks. Ideal for two people, but not really sufficient for a main family meal.I use my grill about five times a week and I would hate to be without it. Ronco are no longer in business, so I just purchased another Ready Grill as a spare. Note that the original selling price was around $50 - $70, so they are very good value while stocks last.

I like it, the grilling is good as long as you respect the time marked in instructions, however I found that the basket is a little to narrow. If you use it for 1 or 2 persons, it might be enough, for more is to small.

I have probably bought 25 kitchen gadgets from Amazon before. Let me just start by saying this could be the best and most slept buy on Amazon. This product is simply amazing I have a Ronco rotisserie so I knew I would be getting something nice but are you freaking serious? I just made chicken and it turned out great! I cook basically all of my meals at home and this is juicy, flavorful, and tender. Tastes way better than coming out of a normal oven.Super convenient and easy to clean and well made with stainless steel construction. Honestly do not hesitate this by for the price it is seriously a bargain and worth triple than what they are asking. I purchased from Amazon and my package came sealed and brand new. I am absolutely floored with the quality of this little machine and plan on cook everything from steak to fish inside of it. I just bought a second one on GP.

I'm a household of one who wants to make an occasional steak without having to fire up an outside grill,or use the oven broiler that smells up the whole house. This seemed like a good option. It works fine but it will take some trial and error to get it right. I can understand reviews from people who got frustrated the first time out. The documentation that comes with this grill is useless. The only way to figure out the right way to use it is to make mistakes. And you will. But once you figure it out, it makes a decent steak. I've tried it with a fresh steak and with one that's frozen. I got better and more predictable results with a fresh or thawed steak. The thicker the better. I get a very nice medium rare in about 12 minutes. It is extremely important to pre-heat the grill before putting in the meat. The grill insert is a little wonky in figuring out which way to turn it, but it works well. I use it on top of the (glass) stovetop with the exhaust fan turned on, and I get no fumes through the house.Biggest complaints:The instructions and documentation are worthless.The drip tray is poorly made and configured. It does not snap in. But worse is the way it has to be positioned. If you slide it all the way in, the way that makes sense, it does not line up, and you'll have drippings running everywhere. That alone could make you want to throw the whole thing away. Instead, you have to eyeball it from the top and figure out how and where to place it to catch the drippings. Trial and error to get it right.The drip pan is 75% plastic. It melts under the elements. Really stupid way to make it.After use, every piece has to be taken out to be cleaned. Fortunately they slide in and out quickly and easily and they all go in the dishwasher, but it's still a lot of parts.This is an OK alternative for one or two steaks or burgers once a week or so. But I doubt it will ever be a favorite kitchen appliance.
