Greetings:

I can't have an outdoor grill at my new apartment (fire code and a
wooden patio) so I'm looking for a good indoor grill. I've used (up) a
Foreman Grill a few years ago. Has indoor grill technology gotten any
better?

What indoor grill would you recommend?

Thanks!!

Jeff

Cast iron grill pan pre-heated on the range + good ventilation.

Interesting. Will this work with an electric range? Will it damage the
surface of the range?

Some manufacturers of smooth top electric ranges (ceramic) caution against
the use of cast iron. It is my impression that they are worried about
scratches or the possibility that you might drop the pan on the range top.
I don't see why a cast iron grill pan would jeopardize or fail to perform on
an electric range any more than a cast iron skillet. While I like gas for
its instant on and instant response, some people will point out that
electric elements are more efficient at transferring heat to cookware. In
an application where you need to heat a large mass of material and maintain
the heat, I don't see why a electric with cast iron would be much different
than gas with cast iron. I'm sure that if I overlooked something that
someone will jump in. I think this would be much closer to outdoor grilling
than using a contact grill like the George Forman.

I think Farberware makes a really cool one. It has a rotisserie
attachment, too. It's the "Open Hearth Smokeless Indoor Grill"

I'll second this recommendation. I've had this grill for many years and
I really love it. By all means, do get the rotisserie with it (I'm not
sure if it's optional or not).

I think the Farberware is an excellent choice, but I don't believe they
are still being made. EBay, however, does list one for sale that is NIB
(new in box).

I haven't got one of these but I just ran across it on Amazon.com -
Zojirushi EB-CC15 Indoor Electric Grill. Here's a review from a buyer
posted to amazon.com:

Ideal for grilling steaks, chicken, fish, burgers, and vegetables indoors,
this 1300-watt countertop appliance has a big, family-size grill surface of
12-1/2 by 9-1/4 inches coated with nonstick for low-fat cooking and easy
cleaning. A variable heat control provides precise cooking temperatures, and
the grill's handles and stylish, dark-gray plastic base stay cool during
operation for safety. Another safety feature prevents the heat control,
which provides power to the appliance, from being inserted unless the metal
drip tray and cooking grid are in place and prevents the grid from being
removed during operation. The appliance disassembles easily for cleaning,
and the drip tray is dishwasher-safe. Overall, the unit measures 20-3/4
inches wide, 6-1/8 inches high, and 14 inches deep. --Fred Brack
