Sanyo HPS-SG3 200-Square-Inch Electric Indoor Barbeque Grill, Black CustomerReview
I recently got a Sanyo HPS-SG3 200-Square-Inch Electric Indoor Grill as a wedding gift from my cousin recently. I used to use a propane Weber Baby-Q, but can no longer since moving into my condo. I liked the idea of being able to grill inside during bad weather, so I asked for this grill.br /br /Let’s start with a small disclaimer. This isn’t a “real” grill. There is no heat source below the grate as there would be with charcoal or gas. Instead, there is a 1300 watt (found to be about 1372 watts in my test) heating element welded directly below. This results in the heating of the food to be from direct contact with the metal grates, rather than radiant heat from the flame.br /br /The non-stick metal grate sits in a plastic frame, which stands evenly on my four burners of my stove. Under the grate is an aluminum tray, which catches drippings (you should put a cup of water into the tray prior to cooking. This prevents the drippings from baking onto the tray and makes it easier to clean). The power cord (which contains the thermostat) plugs into the grate directly.br /br /The dial thermostat has four temperatures printed – 200, 250, 300, 425. While the dial allows you to set it to any spot between the settings, the 125 degree jump at the end makes it a bit difficult to select temps between 300-425. There is an orange triangle pointing to the setting you’ve selected, when it is lit the grill is on (and drawing power) and when the temperature is reached, the light goes out (and the unit no longer draws power until it falls below that setting). I found that the surface of the grill got significantly hotter than the temperature selected (386 degrees vs the selected 250) during preheating.br /br /I put two pork chops and four pieces of chicken (two breasts sliced in half) on at the same time. The pork chops had a brown sugar and paprika rub, while the chicken was plain (I added salt and pepper during grilling). This grill doesn’t have a lid, and instead at times when I would like to trap heat in, I use a stainless steel frying pan placed upside down. Since the pork chops were a bit thick, I chose to do that here.br /br /Cooking these six pieces of meat ran into some difficulty. The pork shops, with the sugary rub, began to burn, while the chicken breasts cooked much more slowly. I think part of this was due to crowding half the grill with the four slice of chicken, while the other half only had two pork chops, causing the side with chicken to drop in temperature quickly. The grill, sensing the drop in temp, kept the heating element on, which heats the whole grill, causing the pork chops to get too hot. After realizing this, I switched the cover to the chicken, which helped keep the temp up on that side. I also added a glaze to the pork chops at this point, since they were almost done.br /br /With regards to the “smokeless” aspect of this grill, well, its not. It didn’t put off a ton of smoke, but the pork chops especially (with the sugary rub and glaze) produced some smoke. I put the grill over my stove top so I can use the hood (which vents outdoors). Additionally, the underside of the metal grate is NOT non-stick, and drippings bake onto that and don’t come off during cleaning. The next time the grill is used, they burn off, producing smoke.br /br /After cooking, the grill cools down quickly, and the grate is easy to clean (the top at least). It’s a bit bigger than my sink, and I’m worried I’m going to break the handle if I’m not careful, but food cleans right off with a soapy sponge. The drip tray is easy to clean (and is dishwasher safe as well, although it’s so easy to clean I can’t see wasting dishwasher space for it).br /br /While this grill does have some flaws (not smokeless, variance in temperature settings, difficulty cleaning), it’s still a pretty decent grill and I expect to use it on a regular basis. (I wouldn’t recommend getting the smaller HPS-SG2 since it has a weaker 850 watt heating element).br /br /In total, it used 0.42 kWh of electricity, which is about 7 cents at the current prices (in the Northeast, less for the rest of the country).br /br /Pork chop recipe from: [...]br /br /UPDATE:br /br /I used this grill to make shish-kabobs today. Didn’t work as well as a traditional grill, due to lack of cover. The kabobs didn’t have as much surface contact with the grill, so they didn’t absorb the heat. I took an old cookie sheet and put it upside down on top of the kabobs, which helped. It looks like the best foods are flat items of an even thickness (burgers, chops, breasts), rather than things like kabobs or chicken wings.
