This budget-priced grill with a retro look still enough cooking area to feed a family, with 182 square inches of grilling space. Reviewers say the unit cooks evenly, and the adjustable hinge allows even cooking of thicker foods. While primarily designed as a panini maker, reviewers say it does an equally good job of cooking meat, fish and vegetables. The grill plates aren't removable, although most users say they are easy to clean. The DeLonghi Indoor Grill and Panini Press also offers temperature control through an easy-to-use thermostat, and it has a light that indicates when the grill is ready to be used. This grill doesn't offer as much versatility as the more expensive Cuisinart Griddler GR-4 (*Est. $140), however.
