Customer Review: Great, but not up to all specifications.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought one of these as a gift for a friend and one for myself (Dec 2009) I have only used mine 5 or 6 times.
This is what I sent my friend last night:
"I'm glad you enjoyed the barbecued chicken. If you'd like to try the recipe, I took very fresh Draper Valley Farms: boneless, skinless, chicken thighs (small and tender) wiped them dry, cut off any obvious fat, put them in a ziplock freezer bag with some excellent Hawaiian BBQ sauce, squished it around to coat all the chicken, then folded the top over to get all the air out, and "ziplocked" it. I put it in the fridge for about 24 hours and cooked it on the indoor barbecue.
It's important to follow the instructions that come with the BBQ: fill the drip pan about 1/2 way with water, use PAM fat-free spray for barbecuing on the grill.. heat the grill to only about 200-225F (till it sizzles) and slowly cook the thighs, turning them several times with tongs, for about 25 minutes.. until all pink is gone from the meat, but remove while the meat is still very juicy. I've found using a higher temperature tends to burn the marinade and dry out the meat.. so I slow cook things. It's a way to get very tasty meat without any added fat... or going outside in inclement weather."
That said, I put the lower drip pan in the dishwasher for the 3rd time last night.. I usually hand-wash it, but the instructions DO say it is dishwasher safe. That is not true! After 3 times in the dishwasher, the very thin finish on the "drip pan" is seriously damaged, even rusting in several places.
It's a great idea, fairly easy to clean, can produce wonderful indoor barbecued meats and veggies right in your kitchen (if you're careful about the temperature) but they need a much better surface on the drip pan! I haven't used the cover, but I suspect the finish on that would not hold up in the dishwasher, either.
A major improvement over the Gorge Foreman grill I had previously! But obviously not quite like being outdoors, still a great alternative for places like Seattle!
Description of Sanyo HPS-SG4 Extra-Large Indoor Barbecue Grill and Griddle
This multi-use product features a 1/3 Griddle with Lid and 2/3 Grill designed for the ultimate flexibility and convenience. When inclement weather keeps you inside, you can still grill using this indoor barbecue grill from SANYO. The grill features an adjustable temperature control with an indicator light, and its powerful 1300-watt heating element is built into the bottom of the grill surface for even heat distribution. The grill not only sears those tasty grill marks onto food, but its design also keeps food above and away from grease, fat, and other excess liquids for healthier cooking. The removable drip pan catches run-off fat, and by filling it first with water, it's easy to enjoy virtually smoke-free grilling. The unit's cool-touch handles and base provide added safety, and its nonstick surface and dishwasher-safe drip pan make for quick and easy cleanup. A bilingual instruction manual and a recipe guide are included. The grill measures 23-5/8 by 3-7/8 by 14-1/2 inches.Contact Grills
