My mother in law broght over some galbi the other night along with her little grill for us to use. While I was giving the grate a quick scrub (my father in law is all about speed and less about thoroughness) I noticed some of the coating had been scraped off in a number of areas. This thing is from the 80's and I don't want myself or anyone else to have more teflon seasoning.
I need a recommendation for an indoor smokeless grill. Removable grates, some lip to help reduce splatter, a lid should be detachable, not too heavy.
Looking to replace with another non-stick. I think the main point is that a lot of these have a reservoir that you fill with water and it helps reduce smoke/grease/etc.You're not wanting nonstick going forward, or wanting a new nonstick just not chipped up?
As far as I've seen, they're all terrible. If they get hot enough to work, then I wouldn't feel okay with the nonstick coating at those temps if that's a concern. Most things you'd cook are just as good or better in a pan or air fryer or oven.
I had a flat press Breville years ago that was great for reheating leftovers and "cooking" things like warmed sandwices or quesadillas. Very limited usefulness for actual temp cooking, and any meat was ineffective. I miss it mostly for reheating mashed potatoes into little cakes, but can even do that in a pan if careful.
I honestly don't know how or why people can stand using the foreman grill style devices. Even panini presses you're mostly just getting novelty grill marks vs toasting in a pan or even oven. Mostly useful if you're in a dorm or barracks or otherwise limited for doa e or skill.
If wanting the novelty of doing grilling on the table top there are some options in Amazon, but I'd still argue what's the point and just get a single induction burner and flat griddle style cast iron pan maybe. Induction burner is also great for fondue or frying.
That said, Cuisinart griddlers get good reviews, but are biggish. And if a basic stainless press grill like Taco Bell uses I'd be more inclined to consider it, but the best grilled burrito truck in town just uses a flat grill, so I'd still argue with myself over what the point would be.
like your situation my friends for xmas had to replace their old bbq (they were entertaining), they got this modelLooking to replace with another non-stick. I think the main point is that a lot of these have a reservoir that you fill with water and it helps reduce smoke/grease/etc.
I could probably just go down to one of the little Korean home/appliance shops nearby and pick up whatever they have, but I’m lazy and it’s annoying to communicate with my terrrrrible Korean and their not great English.
every asian household has a rice cooker and a portable butane burnerOoooh, that kind of grill. But what's the point? Sitting around cooking like you're still around a camp fire? Making it into a social event?
I get the outdoor actual fire grills, but some indoor electric grill. All down side and no benefit. May as well just do meat on a stick over a Sterno can or oil fondue that would at least have actual cooking benefits.
There are cast iron ones, at least.
Indoor grill with a lid? Why?
Watched some of the video reviews. People low temp cooking steaks on that thing on the stovetop. It's like, why. I'll make you 3 steaks in the time one will be done on that "grill." One review says hope it's as good as grilling outside. Lol?
Guess it's just an Asian culture thing. Like white women I know that fret over turning the oven on in the summer as if AC hasn't been invented.
Most people don't care, but I try not to cook with a condom on as I go through some motions just to feel like I'm doing the real thing.
FTFY...these guys sound faggy but, you see it in action, pretty simple, fan on the sides suck smoke down to water pot on bottom, also comes w/ a flat griddle too.
I think it's mainly to entertain, where you got to small group of people sitting around drinking and eating all kinds of little cuts of meat and whatnot. Everybody gets to share and it's just kind of a big family or friends deal.Ooooh, that kind of grill. But what's the point? Sitting around cooking like you're still around a camp fire?

i'm against teflon coatings, i believe the burner kind come in different nonstick or cast iron optionsFTFY...
I'm actually tempted to get one though. That looks pretty slick I want that coupon that's not expensive at all. Do you think it's worth getting the griddle addition?
Oh and that thing you're ordering is just a grill basket deal. I got one that I sometimes use for whole fish. They're really handy. You can use it for vegetables and stuff too. You'll get a lot of mileage out of it.

I've only been to a couple of Korean barbecue places, but it's always been a really fun time even if you're doing the cooking. None of my wife would probably enjoy something like that, just being able to sit at the kitchen table and have our Misen place ready to go.
yea it's great for kids, especially when they get their own little basketYeah, I get the social aspects. At that point just buy whatever because it's not a good cooking reason. Why I mention fondue and was only half joking about just firing a skewer over a Sterno can.
Has an Asian sister in law for a while. Hot pot was fun. I'm not against social eating.
Hell, use a culinary torch and char your meat at the table like a man!

Talked to the MIL this morning, she said to get one without a coating.i'm against teflon coatings, i believe the burner kind come in different nonstick or cast iron options
