Yes, I finally bought an appliance. I bought the Black and Decker 4 in 1. It makes good waffles, the grill part seems to be more of a steamer then a grill, but the pork I was cooking still tasted good. But I had marinated the pork so maybe it was a little on the wet side to begin with.
Good points-it's easy to change out the different plates, easy to clean, easy to figure out.
bad points-have to find a place to put all the plates that I'm not using.
The directions are pretty slim. and there is no cook book. So you have to guess how much waffle batter to add, how long a piece of meat should take to cook and stuff like that.
The fat doesn't have any place to go, it looks like it would pool. I played with some lean pork loin yesteday so I didn't have much fat to worry about.
All in all, I think it's a good product so far...I've only had it 2 days. I think tonight I'll play with the grill part and see if I can cook an egg. Shoot, maybe I'll never need to dirty up another pan
oh, well wishful thinking.
And I bought a cheap 8" nonstick skillet at Target...only $4. and it works. Wow, I forgot how nice it is too cook on a new non-stick surface. Woohoo, I went crazy over the weekend. I almost bought a toaster oven at Sam's but had to control myself
