Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Hamilton Beach 25325 MealMaker Express Contact Grill
Customer Review: Goodbye George
Summary: 5 Stars
This grill is great. I will never go back to the George Forman grill. Unlike "George", you don't have to unplug it to turn it off - it has on/off/timer knob.Also, and probably the best feature are the removeable grids. With just the push of a button you can remove the grids for cleaning - and they are dishwasher safe.
Another feature which outdoes George is the drip tray. With the Forman grill you have to place a container in front. If you misplace this container or forget - you get grease all over. With the hamilton beach, the drip contain is attached to the side, already in place.
Cons - I couldn't find any.
Customer Review: Cooks everything better than the Foreman except bacon
Summary: 4 Stars
Definately a better product than the George Foreman. Removeable grill grates is heavenly. People no longer get skeeved out when they come over and see my grill on the counter (I gave up cleaning my old George Foreman....aahhh the joys of being a bachelor).
The grease catch is much better too.
My only knock and why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is it takes longer to cook bacon than the George Foreman. It takes 10 minutes to cook bacon (and it comes out PERFECT), but I don't remember the Foreman taking that long. I think it is because the grooves in the grates are much deeper.
Customer Review: George Froeman Lost this Battle
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased a Foreman grill and was very unhappy with it. The surface plates are not removeable and the teflon finish was rather porous and very difficult to clean. A friend of mine purchased a Foreman grill and had the same results. These grills are now stored in the same place-the garage. This Hamilton Beach model rocks. Removeable plates that can go in the dishwasher or be cleaned by hand very easily and the cooking time is half that of the Foreman grill. Buy this productt and dont waste your money on the Foreman grills. I just bought another as a birthday gift for my friend that had purchased the Foreman GrillCustomer Review: Love it more everyday
Summary: 5 Stars
I have compared all the products out in the market to get a new grill with removable plates to replace my another still-new George grill. This is the best and also the cheapest you can find. My suggestion is to tilt the grill a little bit while operating so that the liquid can drain more quickly and your meat will burn more beautifully. I put two metal caps under the left legs. The downstream part of the grill is too deep to make well contact with the food, but it's a good place to cook baby carrots.
The machine is kind of heavy and big though. But it should be quite durable if you don't drop it.
Customer Review: Beats George's Hands Down
Summary: 5 Stars
We subscribe to Consumer Reports and read all about these types of grills. The George Foreman and the Hamilton Beach MealMaker Express Grill seam to be the most popular but the HB beats ALL the competition hands down!Many people who already have the George Foreman grill all have told us they hate it because it's so difficult to clean. With the removable grills on the HB model, this problem simply does not exist. We love how fast this grill cooks chicken and steak. The best part is that the meats are so juicy and delicious.
I highly recommend the Hamilton Beach MealMaker Express Grill.
