Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Waring Pro Grill WGG500RQ Grill Griddle - Waring WGG500SSQ

Customer Review: Move over George...
Summary: 4 Stars

I never owned an indoor grill made by Ronco or George F so I won't be comparing the Waring to anything else. This review is based upon an inspection of the parts and the cooking of several foods.

Waring makes professional products so they know what quality is. Don't let the word "Pro" fool you into thinking this is a restaurant-quality commercial product -- It isn't but the quality is very good. My initial observations:

* The grill is heavy-duty enough for home kitchen use. The body is metal, the controls have a quality feel, the heating elements are thick and the grilling surfaces seem pretty good.
* It takes a while to heat-up but once it does it cooks at a consistent rate.
* The free-floating top grill doesn't really float so you have to free-it-up manually. Keep in mind that the grill plates are really hot and extend outside of the body so a pot holder is in order.
* There are two sets of grill plates: one set with ridges and one set that is flat. The upper and lower plates are not interchangeable. The non-stick coating isn't the hardest I've even seen. There is a cheap platic tool included that you can use to clean the ridged grill plates but it didn't do a satisfactory job even on a brand new grill.

Cooking results were good in both the closed and open positions. The upper grill is not quite level when the grill is laid flat so the drippings may or may not flow in the right direction. I mades some burgers, turkey burgers, fried eggs and bacon all with good results. The cooking surfaces cooked thoroughly, evenly and quickly.

Overall, I'm satisfied and feel that I got a good grill for what it costs. I know I'm dreaming but I would preferred to have cast-iron grill plates over the nonstick aluminum. I would also prefer it if the grill plates were reversable as opossed to interchangeable. As long as it's not made by Cuisinart, I'm happy.

Description of Waring Pro Grill WGG500RQ Grill Griddle - Waring WGG500SSQ

The Waring Pro Grill and Griddle makes multifunctional an understatement! It can make perfect Panini plus lots more. With four separate cooking options, it handles everything from pancakes to sausages to grilled cheese to steaks to hamburgers to Panini. It helps you prepare more servings of more kinds of food in less time so you can cook for a crowd--no one has to wait. Simply change the cooking plates and adjust the floating hinge to use it as a contact grill, a Panini press, or your choice of an extra-large double open grill or griddle. The two sets of removable plates let you customize the unit specifically for your cooking needs. To use the device as an open grill just insert the two grill plates, the two griddle, plates or one of each. Then open the unit flat to its full 200-square-inch cooking surface. To use the gourmet gadget as a contact grill just close the lid. The floating hinge automatically adjusts to different food thicknesses. All the plates are nonstick and dishwasher safe.
