They did it right !!!
I bought my Rocket Grill about a week ago from the TV add. I usually shop Amazon when I see something on TV that I like but this time it looked so good I just called up and did the deal on the spot. I could have saved a few bucks had I gone to ...zon first and ordered on line.
Even so I am very pleased with the item to the point I wanted to share the experience with those now thinking of buying one.
To me the best feature is that just like the other reviews, there is no clean up. I figured that was a bit too good be true and it almost is. So far, the only clean up needed was to sponge off the lid. A very slight residue of oil will settle on the inside of the lid as the heated steam from the cooking process rises and passes through. The lid is extremely easy to remove so this kind of clean up is almost negligible.
Let me tell you, I've tried a bunch of kitchen grilling systems. There are those where I would set it and forget it, infra-red convection...
Impresive...if you use it right. Even to a cook.
I will address some of the negatives that people have brought up about the Rocket Grill, but first I must say that even for a cook this device was pretty damn impressive. I got it as a gift and expected to chuck it after an obligatory attempt at "grilling". As a cook, you aren't always in the mood to create something elaborate at home. So seeing it's description I immediately decided I would limit it to dry rub grilling and expected a dried husk of chicken to appear at the end (heck, it drains away the juices, I like the juices). When I cut open the breast, I was shocked to find a perfectly cooked piece of chicken with juices gushing out of it (obviously they didn't all drain out) and the outside sufficiently grilled. It actually tasted great. I was amazed at how quick it took. I rarely eat frozen but had to try it and unexpectedly had the same result.
If you don't have to cook for a family this is an option for a quick no hassle, tasty meal. But there are some...
So far, so good!
My first indoor grill was a small George Foreman grill. It wasn't that bad. A year later I upgraded to a much larger Sunbeam (not this one, but a George Foreman clone). The problem with the Foreman type grill is that you have a lot to cleanup. Sure it only takes 2-3 minutes, but i'm lazy and I don't like doing it. Actually sometimes it takes way longer than that. I don't like how it cooked food. Sometimes the outside will look burnt to a crisp and the inside is still pink! I always thought someone should come up with something better.
Well, now they have (I can't wait to see how many people think I work for Sunbeam!). I saw this advertised on TV one day and it looked like a good idea, but I didn't like how you had to keep getting new bags for it. I also disliked how they didn't list the price of it on the commercial.
I did some research online and saw a video review of it and they had some good things to say about it so that sealed the deal for me. I bought it...
