With the Hamilton Beach Steak Lover's Indoor Grill, there s no need to fire up an outdoor grill to get great grilled flavor. It features a high searing temperature of 500 F that locks in juices and flavor and makes everything you sear steaks, burgers, fish, chicken and pork chops taste delicious. Best of all, food won't stick to the grilling plate since it has a nonstick coating. This grill has an illuminated sear button to make searing easy. Just press the button, and the grill sears at 500 F (260 C) then switches to your selected grilling temperature. The 100 sq. in. nonstick, cooking surface has plenty of space for cooking a variety of meats and veggies. You'll get quick, delicious meals on the table in less than 10 minutes. As you grill, fat is directed by the cooking surface away from your food into the removable drip tray. The grill is easy to clean. Simply wipe the nonstick plates clean after they cool. The removable drip tray is dishwasher safe. Besides meat and vegetables, the grill is great for making hot sandwiches like paninis and grilled cheese with a crispy finish.
