Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sunbeam 7530 Rocket Grill Electric Grilling Appliance, White
Customer Review: So far, so good!
Summary: 5 Stars
My first indoor grill was a small George Foreman grill. It wasn't that bad. A year later I upgraded to a much larger Sunbeam (not this one, but a George Foreman clone). The problem with the Foreman type grill is that you have a lot to cleanup. Sure it only takes 2-3 minutes, but i'm lazy and I don't like doing it. Actually sometimes it takes way longer than that. I don't like how it cooked food. Sometimes the outside will look burnt to a crisp and the inside is still pink! I always thought someone should come up with something better.
Well, now they have (I can't wait to see how many people think I work for Sunbeam!). I saw this advertised on TV one day and it looked like a good idea, but I didn't like how you had to keep getting new bags for it. I also disliked how they didn't list the price of it on the commercial.
I did some research online and saw a video review of it and they had some good things to say about it so that sealed the deal for me. I bought it with 2nd day delivery.
I've only used the product for one day and just had to write a review of it.
The first thing I put in it was a somewhat large T-bone steak that was not frozen. I preheated the grill and had trouble getting it into the bag. The bag ripped about 1 1/2" inches. This is because it was tricky getting a large steak in the bag and it weighed a lot. I put it in for 13 minutes on the "Bone In" setting and when it came out it was near perfect. Honest. No pink for the well done setting, just the way I prefer it.
The fat was all in the bottom of the bag. I had a small little puddle of oil in the bottle of the grill, but it's easy to clean. The tray on the bottom you don't need to clean much. 95% of the fat and juices go into the bag. The tray on the bottom is less than a half inch in depth.
I tried a piece of frozen skinless/boneless chicken and when it first came out it looks undercooked, but again it was perfect. To me, chicken comes out somewhat dry on the Foreman grills, but not so on this so far. The food seems to be cooked evenly the entire way through. One side doesn't appear to be cooked more than the other.
Now the negatives. I can't see this being used as a replacement for a stove for a family. You can only cook one thing at a time with this. The bag is pretty small. I live alone in an apartment, so no big deal.
I can see this being very popular soon. Once they get the price down to fifty dollars and the bags are at every store it will possibly replace the George Foreman grill. Maybe not since the large George Foreman grills can cook enough grilled foods for an entire family. This cannot!
I don't like the idea of buying replacement bags. It seems like this is the way they'd make money off this thing. Hopefully they'll be easy to find in stores someday. I doubt i'll be going through my 46 bags in one month. It's not really that big of a deal AT ALL.
The price isn't that good yet. It's a new product, so it will be cheaper in a few months I think. I don't regret buying it yet and i'm looking forward to trying more things in it.
NOTE: I've been using it for a few weeks now. Almost every other day. Foods always comes out OK. Using bags doesn't bother me. I have a ton of them left.
I once turned the timer to the right and nothing happened. Apparently it was a one time only thing. I pressed it in a little and I guess it was stuck.
BTW when you put the bag in and take it out you CAN accidently touch the plastic up top where you mount the bags. It's just warm to the touch. It won't burn you. Just a note for those like me that were curious.
I've tried everything but fish so far (I don't like it) but will try that soon. Hamburgers are ok, but the ones i've tried (95% fat free) were nasty. I don't blame the grill though.
As if I haven't already said it, this blows away the George Foreman Style grills by far. Not if you need to grill a ton of food for a large family. Don't give me that thing about "ohh..but you need to buy expensive bags!". Big deal! Nobody is getting rich off selling you 20-40 cent bags.
