MishcdeaElectric Griddle Nonstick, Multifunctional Hot Plate Indoor Smokeless Grill, Removable Cooking Plate Hot Pot with 4-Level Temperature Control, 3L, 1200W, Gray

First I like that this grill is smokeless, so it won't get too much smoke when you cook inside the house, and it is very mobile indoors. This grill is well made and light weight, and you don't have to worry about clean up or a messy drip pan; it is easy to take out and clean, even kids are able to cook with it as well.

The media could not be loaded.

Was cooking a tray of bacon. 3 inches on one side barely heated. The center cooked hotter. It stopped heating after 15 minutes. Returned.

My stove stopped working, and I switched over to this and it has really saved my life. I can cook anything on it and it comes out perfectly.

The first thing I noticed when I took this appliance out of the box is the odd handle on the lid. It seems as though it was intended to hook on something or maybe it's a spoon holder. I simply don't know and never did find it useful. Speaking of the lid, the knob on the top does not get super hot but it does get warm. The lid does get hot and the knob is much too close so my fingers brushed the top a little more than I liked. 1/2 inch more of clearance between the knob and lid would be a big improvement.The griddle heats to the highest temp in under 5 minutes and did a great job of cooking chicken tenderloins. The one thing that is obviously missing from this appliance is a drain trap for grease. Whatever you are cooking is going to swim in the oil that is extracted.One reason to purchase this griddle over others is the removable cooking pan. You can remove the inner pan and completely wash it without worrying about protecting the electronics.

Mishcdea Electric Griddle is a great addition to my kitchen appliances.The design seems to be mostly targeted for Asian cuisines, but it is versatile enough to handle different type of foods.It has a good size cooking tray enough to 3-4 people depends on type of the food. The tray is deep enough to make soups, stews, and hotpot. The temperature range is designed to handle different Varity of foods from meat, fish to eggs or vegetables (140℉~455℉).I put this electric griddle to the ultimate test of cooking chicken wings.Like I have done before, just cover the wings with pepper, corn starch and tablespoon of olive oil. Lay the wings in the griddle and set it to the high temperature (not the max).I used the unit inside and on the kitchen counter. The system heats up fast and I could hear the wings start sizzling but at no time noticed any smoke, just steam. Turn the wings halfway through the cooking, the non-stick coating make that very easy. The wings came out crispy and cooked to perfection.Cleaning was simple just wash the tray and top cover and used paper towel to dry them out.Next, I am going to cook some steaks but based on the initial try I am sure it will do great.Very happy with the Mishcdea griddle and plan to use it more.

First, it’s called a grill but it’s not really a grill. Why? Well a grill is what one barbecues steaks and hot dogs on in the back yard or a park which has a fire flaming up to the meat and blacking it until you like it or until it’s burnt. In this case, there is no flame but rather an electric element that heats up a griddle plate similar to what you would do if cooking a steak on a fry pan or skillet if you prefer on a stovetop. There are no slits allowing the juices to fall below to a drip pan. In this implement, calling it a grill is a misnomer. In fact, it is really a griddle like something you would cook pancakes on. Don’t get me wrong, you can still cook a steak or a hamburger on this griddle; just don’t call it a grill—call it a griddle.Last night I ‘barbecued’ a 3/4 pound hamburger patty and at the same time a 1/2 pound prime ribeye steak on the only plate available on this cooking implement—on the griddle plate. This plate is permanently installed just above the electric heating element. For me, it was pretty much the same as cooking a hamburger patty and/or a steak in a fry pay or skillet if you prefer to call it on an electric stovetop. I cooked it on HIGH heat to insure that the steak would be charred on the outside and red to pink on the inside. It did that quite well. The one weakness in how the steak tasted was that it simply did not have the charcoal taste you get when cooking it on a real charcoal grill in the great outdoors in you backyard in the Texas heat in summer. However, most probably because the steak was a prime ribeye as opposed to a choice or even worse a select grade of beef, the steak was very good tasting taking all things in account.As to the hamburger patty, since it was a large, round and very thick patty also specially ground for me from a prime ribeye (yes, the butcher continually said he would not grind up a beautiful steak into hamburger meat) steak, it too was very delicious but cooked medium well. I would not have cooked hamburger less than well done had I not known what cut of meat it was ground from.I have to admit that it did an OK job but still lacked that wonderful taste even when compared to my other indoor electric smokeless grill which does have a true grill plate where the juices of the meats can drip down into a drip pan and can get the taste (somewhat) of smoke when the juices hit the electric heating element. It’s not the same as a true outdoor grill but it’s good enough when you can’t go outside because of the weather or you are banned from grilling outside.As to the ‘grill’ itself, it has one major weakness. There are only three heating temperatures to choose from—low, medium and high. My other grill has a -step-up’ temperature selection from 250º to 480º F on a rotating dial. In fact, you have no idea what temperature ‘LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH’ represent. We know a range each represents but not an exact number. LOW = 60°-100° C (140°-212° F) , MEDIUM = 140°-180° C (284°-356° F) and HIGH = 195°-235° C (383°-455° F). The other weakness is that there is only one plate to cook on—a solid griddle plate. There is a lack of slits or holes so that juices extracted from the meat cannot seep through past the electric heating element into an hot drip pan below causing smoke to rise up to the grilled meat which can add a grill-like flavor to the meats mimicking the real deal as if grilling on a outside charcoal grill. Had the built-in griddle plate been removable and a second grill plate with slits or holes been able to be switched out, this could have been accomplished. But, alas! Not so with this particular model smokeless indoor grill. Most other similar grills do have a dual plate that accomplishes this double grill/griddle feature, but not on this particular model. And that is truly a negative blow.Moving on to this morning, I made some pancakes and heated the griddle plate—the same as I cooked the steak and hamburger on last evening—on MEDIUM. When it was ready, I dropped the batter onto the plate and unfortunately the pancakes took too long to brown and when they finally did, they were too touch and heavy. I then turned up the heat to HIGH, them cooked four more pancakes. This time, they browned very quickly and I sat down to four very light and fluffy buttermilk blueberry pancakes drizzled with real Vermont Maple Syrup and a rasher of thick sliced bacon. AM I MAKING YOU HUNGRY YET? I figured that if I were going to heighten my cholesterol level I might as well go whole-hog and drink 4 percent whole milk from Jersey cows and fresh-squeezed orange juice. Since I don’t and never have smoked, my lungs are in very good shape. In fact, my cholesterol is 102. So there!!!The grill is well made. There are no weaknesses in the build that I could detect. Although not stated, from the weight I personally felt when lifting it, I believe it to be made of aluminum. With only the glass top as a separate piece except for the electrical cord which can be plugged into the grill , the chance of loss or separation is negligible. The glass top is probably tempered but there is no indication as such.Finally, this grill has a look of inferior quality mainly because of its color—a dull gray. But, in reality it is not so. It does what it’s made to do quite well; only with a griddle plate rather than with a griddle and a grill plate which are interchangeable depending on the needs. If you are into pan fried steaks or fish and the like, then this griddle is for you and you don’t have the cleanup worries of a messy drip pan which will probably have hardened because of the hot electrical element usually directly above the pan. It’s not a thing of beauty but that is not what it was designed to do—win a beauty contest.If this meets all your ‘pretend outdoor cooking needs’ but you are barbecuing indoors and making pancakes on special occasions, then I heartily recommend this grill/griddle to you. If you like the smoky fake-flavor of the outdoor barbecue grill, then I suggest you look at another grill/griddle that are easy to find.

It was so nice to have a somewhat normal Father's Day celebration, with my husband's son and wife and the two granddaughters coming to our house for our first barbecue of the season. Because of this roomy smokeless barbecue grill, and the handy electric connection we had installed for the lights over our table, we didn't have to bother with propane. We just plugged it in, heated it up, and voila! Hamburgers and corn were sizzling away right next to the table. There was no problem cooking enough for seven of us and clean up was a snap.I suppose there is some nostalgia to cooking in the backyard on charcoal briquettes or using a big propane fired grill, but after using one of these smokeless grills and particularly seeing how simple it is to clean up afterwards, I feel we should just shove the huge barbecue off to one side, reclaim our back yard, and do our barbecuing the easy way on this grill. I'm not sure how it would work for roasting marshmallows, but it certainly works for most of the typical foods we enjoy for backyard feasts. I do recommend this grill!
