We have the contact grill now already several times with different dishes (sandwich / panini, grilled meats, steaks, vegetables, etc.) tried. The food is wonderful and the meat is always so delicious juicy (in the pan'd never succeed so well). That's why I rate the device as a very practical and as good and fast kitchen helpers. However, there is, despite the great performance and the ease of use Cons: - Heat is not adjustable -. Cleansing (the problem, however, applies to almost all contact grills general cleaning in the interstices of the griddle is always very difficult and because the plate was unfortunately can not lose weight and just can rinse under water, you have the just very thoroughly with a cloth . Wipe Depending on what one has just fried in it (eg marinated meat) is really troublesome to get the plates clean. But as I said, this is more of a general problem with almost all contact grills.
