We have a "family-sized" one, and we don't use it very much right
now, but when we were having people over more often (before we had
our daughter), it was quite useful for making chicken skewers (think
"satay", not "shish-kebab"). Marinate some fairly-thinly-sliced
chicken thigh meat for a few hours (figure something like 1/4" x
1" x 3" pieces) in perhaps soy sauce, white wine, black pepper, and
some cornstarch, skewer, and grill for 2-3 minutes (I think -- but
I can't remember exactly; try it, see if it's cooked all the way
through, and put it back if it isn't). Peanut sauce (peanut butter,
garlic, sesame oil, a little soy sauce, and optionally dried chili
flakes) on the side for people who like that...
