Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chef's Design Single Burner Reversible Grill/Griddle
Customer Review: Great, Especially for De-Frosting!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this on 8/21/08 solely to cook chicken and steak in the COLD Cleveland, Ohio months when I didn't feel like starting my outdoor propane grill this winter (2008-09).
I had no idea of it's touted claim of "defrosting foods quickly" until I actually had it in my home and read the brochures in the box. THIS THING IS INCREDIBLE! I kid you not, stuff that would take 6-8 hours to thaw on my counter-top are ready in about an hour(or less!). It's like Magic!!
A helpful-hint: If you want "grill-marks", put it in a 500-degree oven for 10 minutes or so before putting it on your stove-top burner. ...This thing hold a lot of heat!
...I personally like my steak "Mooing" on the inside but with a nice crust of seasoning and/or flesh-cooked about 1/32nd inch on each side. If I have a really 'nice' piece of meat, I've left the grill in the 500-degree over for upwards of 15 minutes before putting it on the stove-top and adding the piece of meat.
You certainly don't need to "pre-heat" it in the oven and you wouldn't want to if you were making say, a pancake or an egg. ...From 'Cold' to stove-top, DO pre-heat for 6-10 minutes at medium-high.
This is the drawback: I actually love the one I got so I wanted to buy another one! I originally paid $13.26 on 8/21/08 for this wonderful thing. --It's a little more than a month later, 9/30/08, and the price has more than doubled to $32.32!
It's NOT worth $30+ but it is worth $15. If it's 'On Sale' for $15 or less, BUY IT! You won't regret it if for nothing else than it's Quick-Defrost Magic!!
