Hamilton Beach Electric Indoor Searing Grill with Viewing Window

The Hamilton Beach Electric Indoor Searing Grill brings authentic grilling experience indoors with impressive high-heat capability that rivals outdoor grills. This countertop unit solves a common problem for apartment dwellers and those in climates where year-round outdoor grilling isn't practical. The adjustable temperature control reaches up to 450°F, enabling true high-heat searing that creates the Maillard reaction responsible for that coveted caramelized crust on steaks and burgers. During our testing, we achieved grill marks comparable to outdoor gas grills, with excellent browning and flavor development. The 118 square inch nonstick cooking surface comfortably accommodates four burgers or two steaks, making it suitable for couples or small families. The viewing window is a thoughtful feature that allows monitoring without opening the lid and losing heat. This proved particularly valuable when cooking steaks to precise doneness levels. The PFAS-free nonstick coating performed excellently throughout testing, releasing food easily and requiring minimal oil. The removable grate and drip tray are dishwasher-safe, making cleanup remarkably simple for an indoor cooking appliance. The grill produces minimal smoke when used properly, though we recommend using the range hood for optimal ventilation. The stainless steel exterior looks professional and wipes clean easily.
