Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Here's a quick tip. If you want to make waffles, buy a waffle maker. It'll be a lot cheaper and it might even do the job. I'll admit that to date we haven't used the grill for anything other than making waffles, but that experience has pretty much dulled our enthusiasm for trying much else with this appliance. The instruction booklet says give the waffles 3 1/2 minutes and then check them. On the first batch, 3 1/2 was pretty close, or so we thought. After that the cooking time increase to closer to 15 minutes and the big problem is that the top and bottom plates are not at all uniform in temperature. If you like golden brown waffles then you will have to settle for gold on one side and chocolate brown on the other. The unit also generates a lot of heat and other than the front handle, it doesn't seem to be very well insulated, dangerous around children. In addition, it comes with a grease drip tray that merely lays in front of the machine. It's not attached to anything and I can see a great opportunity to coat the kitchen floor with meat drippings. All in all, this has been a disappointment. I fear George's grill is destined to spend its remaining years hidden in that little cabinet over the fridge.
