I don't use it very much. But it has a use for high direct heat with compression.

>>21865201
so can it serve as a panini press?

>>21865266
One could conceivably use it for such purposes.

I still have one that my parents gave us. It mostly gets used for hot dogs. Though I have wanted try >>21865266

I think my great great grandparents had one but Abraham Lincoln took care of that.

>>21865266
That’s the only useful purpose for these.

Contact grill is the way to go for making grilled chicken indoors. Easiest fastest and best method.

>>21865201
I have one of these and have only ever used it to make toasties

>>21865266
Yes

>>21865692
I might sound like a retard here but I have never even thought of using it for anything else.

Do any anons have any recipes?

>healthy cooking, no oil
Won’t there be a metric ton of acrylamide in your food if you cook it there without oil? I think mega cancer is worse than a few extra calories.

For people who literally cook burgers for 4 people and also can't grill outside, like condo dwellers, people in an RV or little apartment, it was alright, faux grill marks/browning, and drained fat to a tray, and cooked from 2 sides at once. For chicken breasts, it was kind of steamed, and not ideal.

Though they were nonstick plates, some idiots thought they were REALLY hard to clean up, but in reality, a wet paper towel and lid down a minute or two actually steamed off or softened the baked on fond like a champ. I think it was hard cleanup that killed them. I have a panini press that has removable plates, which isn't even needed. Wipe down is sufficient.

When I was in the military in the barracks, this sucker was a godsend. 3rd floor, small room, no oven, stovetop, or grill available. I made everything in it. Burgers, chicken, steak, pork, sandwiches, grilled cheese, you name it, I pressed it between the plates. Cleaning was easy, idk how people fuck that up.

I have a full kitchen and grill now, so it is entirely useless to me. I appreciate it like I appreciated my pot, frying pan, and hotplate. When you have nothing but an electric outlet - they are absolutely fantastic.

I ended up getting a George Foreman with the removable plates and it was way better. I still use mine to press subs

Nah but I have a contact grill with a fat drain thing I don't use because grease sprays everywhere and it's a bitch to clean, shit just ain't worth it.

>>21865201
It's just a toastie maker/panini press.
You can use those for the same shit.

>>21865201
we got one as a gift. it was messy to use. I think we used it twice and got rid of it.

buy an ad.

>>21865201
I had one of the original ones when I was a kid. Kinda worked but it didn't really get hot enough to put a good sear on meat and it was a pain in the ass to clean because the plates weren't removable.

great for burritos
seals them up, good grill marks, if it doesn't leak then you don't even have to clean it after

>>21865201
I suddenly remembered the drake and Josh episode where they sell stolen grills

>>21865785
It's all the gunk that gets around the outside and corners. Literally no one ever complained about the flat outside of the plates themselves.

Oh yeah they were the fucking Gary Coleman grills. Never saw Diff'rent Strokes as a kid so I didn't know who the hell that was.

>>21865201
i used one all throughout high school and collage. i used to make frozen burgers and veggie burgers from costco on one, and every sandwhich i made a half ass pannini

thank you George

No my mum is a hippy bikie chick who called out Teflon from the start

>hmmmm i want to eat a burger but i want all of the grease and fat and flavor squeezed out of it

Why did this retarded shit ever get popular. Why don’t fatass retards just eat a single good cheeseburger instead of 4 tasteless shit cheeseburgers if they’re trying to lose weight?

>>21865201
They're great. Only problem is that the "nonstick" coating wears out really really fast, and the underlying cast-iron griddle is fucking impossible to peel food off of.

>>21865266
That's basically what it is, a sloped panini press with a drain tray so you can fry a hamburger on it and let the grease drip out.

>NOVELTY GRILL?!

Having worked with many fatasses who "cant lose weight" - They Do Not Care. I am an aircraft mechanic. Being thinner is actually incredibly useful and the fact that you are so fat that you cannot do your job properly and must have me come do it for you is very frustrating.

They will NEVER blame themselves. "buh I eat healthy food" "muh matahbolisms" "bad genes" "I go do da gym" They will say while consuming 4,000 calories a day. You can eat purely healthy food and still be a fat fuck because you ignore some foods (nuts, whole grain, dried fruit, etc.) all have many more calories than they seem.

Your statement is 100% correct. You CAN eat like shit and be a healthy weight. Weight is simple math. Calories in vs Calories out.

On the opposite side, my grandfather ate pizza, wings, burgers, all that garbage for decades. He would sit down and eat an entire quart of ice cream while watching the Bills. He was NEVER fat. Never gained weight except pure muscle. Even into his 70s and 80s, he still hit the gym, played golf, still muscular and could touch his palms to the ground. He also had multiple heart attacks before 50 because of all that trash he consumed daily.


Sorry for the rant. Shit pisses me the fuck off.

>He also had multiple heart attacks before 50 because of all that trash he consumed daily.
Probably as much the stress of watching the Bills play (rip grandpa)

>>21865201
We never had one because we never fell for the 'fat is bad' meme. We do have two low quality waffle irons. I've had a high quality waffle iron before so I refuse to use the cheap shit we have now but don't like waffles enough to buy a good waffle iron.

Hindenburg reporting in. Can confirm, fat people are the worst. Why can't we all burst into flames?

Unfortunately, the amount of self-aware fat people is about as low as self-aware thin people.
Then you've got to consider how often people lie to themselves and reject reality.
It should also be a crime for fat people to breed.
