Full Review:
Grilling is meant to be performed outdoors where there is a spacious space to place the bulky body of the grill. And given the amount of smoke being produced when you are grilling using charcoal or pellet grills, you need an open space for them. However, there are particular seasons and days that we can’t grill on the patio or in the yard. An electric grill is a good choice, but you might need a model that is particularly designed to be comfortably used indoors. If you’re on the hunt for one, Hamilton Beach 25361 is the best indoor grill for your needs.
Of the 8 best indoor grills our SolidSmack Household Appliance and Tool Research Team tested, Hamilton Beach 25361 is the only model that is on point in doing its job. It might not have the multiple functions (i.e. air frying, baking, and roasting) that others have, but Hamilton Beach 25361 makes sure it can excel at what it is supposed to do: grilling.
It has a 118 sq. in. grilling surface that is covered by a window viewing lid. This helps the grill to retain the moisture and heat inside resulting in faster and perfect doneness of the meat you are grilling within the expected timeframe. And even with the lid opened, we noticed that Hamilton Beach 25361 was not producing smoke at all. With this, there is almost no need to activate the range hood in the kitchen.
On the other hand, Hamilton Beach 25361 has temperatures ranging from 200°F to 450°F, with 50°F increments. You can access it using the adjustable dial located in the front right section of the unit. In our test, the grill performed well by reaching the maximum temperature within 6 minutes. There are also indicator lights that will alert you of its power and if it has already reached the temperature you selected.
The grilling grate has a nonstick coating which makes it possible to easily remove foods without struggle. We also love that there is a small section dedicated to small pieces of food to prevent them from falling into the drip tray. And although it is a compact unit measuring 12.4” x 16.73” x 6.81”, Hamilton Beach 25361 can still be enough to cater up to 4 pieces of steaks at a time. Even better, our reviewers noted that the entirety of the grate exceeded our expectations; with uniform heating from end to end. The ridges of the grate are also well pronounced so you can expect visible and beautiful sear marks every time on your steaks.
Cleanup is also as effortless as using the grill itself. It starts with the large drip tray under the grate that catches all excessive drippings from the foods. It is removable the same as the unit’s lid and grate. Most of all, all of these removable parts are dishwasher-safe! Nonetheless, thanks to the smooth nature of the components (especially the nonstick grate), you have the option to just rinse them with water and soap and they’ll be ready for your next grilling session.
