Simple and Easy To Clean
I know someone is going to complain if they use it on a gas stove because you do need to be careful and not knock it off the burner. And there are others who will complain that the water in the lower ring is messy. Don't over fill it and there is no problem. Even the one time I knocked it off the burner I didn't get too much water on the stove. This is a ridiculously simple item, and that is going to be a problem for some people who expect their appliances and cookware to do everything but set the table and seat them. For people who like tagines and clay pots, this is a fun little cooker.
I have cooked several dinners on this thing and it is now my go to way of cooking fat free. Simple. A cup of water, medium low heat, a little spritz with cooking oil (not entirely necessary) and as soon as it is ready to sizzle, slap the meat on there. There is a steam that comes off it and the meat will do what meat does....splatter. Not as bad as frying but it will do a bit. I have had great luck with zucchini and shrimp, mushrooms and asparagus. Play with your oils. A little drizzle of chili oil gives it a zip. I haven't tried wine in the water ring yet.
Clean up is a breeze. The non-stick surface cleans up easily. With only two pieces that are simple in design, the clean up takes a few swipes and done. No intricate parts to catch food particles.
When I bought this I thought....eh, I can afford to toss out $14 if it doesn't work. Maybe pass it on to someone with a bbq grill. No way. I love mine. It stays on the back of the stove with the tea kettle in the honored spot of absolutely necessary.
Ok, years later and a new stove with a continuous surface I am still in love with this grill. Now I have a dishwasher, so clean up is even easier. It paid for itself years ago and continues to make delicious grilled steaks and grilled veggies from my new garden.
