Great upright indoor grill, recommend using the cookbook for great ideas and the best experience. Steaks, fish, chicken come out juicy and grilled looking, add the steamer insert and let the waste head cook the veggies at the same time.

i love it! It makes delicious hamburgers. I don't know how I ever made them before because the ones I used to make tasted horrible compared to in my Ronco. I've cooked chicken breasts from frozen in it and it does steak well too.

I'm a household of one who wants to make an occasional steak without having to fire up an outside grill,or use the oven broiler that smells up the whole house. This seemed like a good option. It works fine but it will take some trial and error to get it right. I can understand reviews from people who got frustrated the first time out. The documentation that comes with this grill is useless. The only way to figure out the right way to use it is to make mistakes. And you will. But once you figure it out, it makes a decent steak. I've tried it with a fresh steak and with one that's frozen. I got better and more predictable results with a fresh or thawed steak. The thicker the better. I get a very nice medium rare in about 12 minutes. It is extremely important to pre-heat the grill before putting in the meat. The grill insert is a little wonky in figuring out which way to turn it, but it works well. I use it on top of the (glass) stovetop with the exhaust fan turned on, and I get no fumes through the house.

Biggest complaints:
The instructions and documentation are worthless.
The drip tray is poorly made and configured. It does not snap in. But worse is the way it has to be positioned. If you slide it all the way in, the way that makes sense, it does not line up, and you'll have drippings running everywhere. That alone could make you want to throw the whole thing away. Instead, you have to eyeball it from the top and figure out how and where to place it to catch the drippings. Trial and error to get it right.
The drip pan is 75% plastic. It melts under the elements. Really stupid way to make it.
After use, every piece has to be taken out to be cleaned. Fortunately they slide in and out quickly and easily and they all go in the dishwasher, but it's still a lot of parts.

This is an OK alternative for one or two steaks or burgers once a week or so. But I doubt it will ever be a favorite kitchen appliance.

Very seldom have I found such a useful household item. This Ready Grill has cooked tater tots, french fries, hamburgers, fish, fish sticks, italian sausages, chicken breasts and I don't have pans I need to clean afterward! As an RV'er, this saves on propane and/or gasoline depending on whether you use a gas or electric oven. For example: Fish sticks that traditionally take 28 minutes in the oven, which you have to flip over halfway to get browned on both sides, you don't have to flip them and it only takes 15 minutes in the Ready Grill. I don't see why this couldn't do grilled cheese if watched carefully, I've made toast in it too. This would be great for busy moms, people that can't cook, etc. It's really a great item! I have a lot of Ronco products sitting around that I don't use. This item gets a lot of use and I'm really glad I got it. Thank you.

This grill meets all of my indoor grilling needs. Before I made my purchase I read quite a number of reviews, positive and negative. Paying attention to them has helped me use this grill very much to my satisfaction. Good purchase! Now come up with indoor smoker that's as convenient.
